We conclude our tour of the Patriot Memory booth at 2026 CES with a look at their latest internal SSDs. The Patriot Viper PV563H aims to be the world's fastest PCIe Gen 5 DRAM-less SSD. The drive features a 6 nm DRAM-less controller from SMI, comes in 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB capacities, and offers sequential transfer rates of up to 14 GB/s reads, with up to 11 GB/s writes, both of which are the highest in the industry so far for DRAM-less Gen 5 SSDs. The drive features a passive aluminium heatsink, there's also a variant of this drive without the heatsink, called simply the Viper PV563. Next up, we have the Patriot Viper PV593, a flagship-segment drive based on the SMI SM2508 6 nm controller with DRAM cache. This drive comes in 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB capacities, with sequential transfer speeds of up to 14 GB/s reads, and up to 13 GB/s writes.

You can find our coverage of its PC memory products in this article. The Patriot iLuxe Stick C is a USB flash drive with two connectors, USB type-C, and Apple Lightning. The drive can function either as a USB Mass Storage Device, or as an Apple MFi certified storage device over Lightning, and is supported by iOS 12 and above. It comes in capacities ranging between 128 GB and 1 TB. The Patriot TAB T560 is essentially the same device, but with USB 3.2 Gen 1 type-A on one side, and type-C on the other. This drive offers sequential speeds of up to 120 MB/s. It comes in 32 GB to 256 GB capacities.

The Patriot Viper PVP30 is a third such UFD, but is premium, and targets the PC enthusiast crowd. It comes with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) host interface, supporting both type-A and type-C, with sequential speeds of 1000 MB/s reads with up to 1000 MB/s writes. It comes in 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB capacities, making this more of a portable SSD than a flash drive. We now move on to memory cards, and the Patriot Viper V30 A2 is a microSDXC compatible with Nintendo Switch, offering sequential reads of 100 MB/s and sequential writes of up to 90 MB/s. It comes in 128 GB thru 1 TB capacities.
