Patriot Memory brought their latest ware to the 2024 International CES that use recent advancements in tech on both the SSD and memory fronts. On the SSD front, this year sees 14 GB/s capable PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs thanks to Phison's E26 Max14um controller; and a new crop of USB4 portable SSDs; while the memory front sees DDR5 speeds go far north of DDR5-6000, thanks to on-module CKDs. Patriot showed us examples of each.

First up, there's the Patriot Viper PV573 Gen 5 NVMe SSD. This thing comes in capacities of up to 4 TB, and combines a Phison E26 Max14um controller with Micron's latest B58R TLC NAND flash chips that offer 2400 MT/s per flash channel. The controller also gets some incremental thermal optimizations, which means the cooling solution for the PV573 is a 16.5 mm-tall fan-heatsink. The drive offers up to 14 GB/s sequential reads, with up to 12 GB/s sequential writes. There's also a slightly de-rated version of this drive, the Viper PV553, which has the same combination of controller and NAND flash, but with transfer speeds of up to 12.4 GB/s reads, with up to 11.8 GB/s writes.

Patriot Memory, a leading manufacturer of high-performance enthusiast memory modules, SSDs, flash storage and gaming peripherals, has announced the upcoming release of their newest Gen 4 x4 SSD, the VP4300 Lite M.2 PCIe Gen 4 x4 SSD. With lightning-fast read speeds of up to 7400 MB/s and harnessing Patriot Viper's new cooling technology, the VP4300 Lite is designed to take gaming to new heights. Along with NVMe 2.0 support, a special edition ultra-thin graphene cooling heat spreader built and capacities of up to 4 TB, the VP4300 Lite will deliver a powerful balance of speed, performance and storage that includes everything gamers could need.

The VP4300 Lite will also be fully compatible with the PlayStation 5, offering sequential read speeds of up to 6100 MB/s as the first PC-PS5 compatible SSD from Patriot Viper to bring supreme performance to PC and console gamers alike. "It is our pleasure to introduce the VP4300 Lite as our newest Gen 4 x4 SSD," said Les Henry, VP of N. America and S. America Sales. "The VP4300 Lite represents our push to keep revolutionizing gaming storage solutions, and we're proud to offer an SSD built both for PC and console gamers."
