Closer Look
Patriot Blast 480GB SSD has arrived in a retail package which is a small box with transparent “window” so you can see how SSD looks like without need of unpacking.
The SSD is in 2.5″ size and is 7mm thick so can be used in ultrabooks. Capacity is 480GB so it has enough of space for most users who are using computer at home or at the office. There is also 960GB version or drives can be used in RAID if there is still not enough space.
Patriot used the latest and fastest Phison controller PS3110-S10 so we can be sure that performance is high. How high we will of course check on the next page of this review.
Blast series SSD have a yellow label which is quite unique as most SSD on the market have red, black or white labels. Of course it doesn’t change much but some users may pick this SSD just because color matches their motherboard.
Let’s take a look at the photo gallery.
