Powered by Phison PS3016-S3, PS-100 is one of those inexpensive SATA I/II capable drives by Patriot. It is the second Patriot SSD with a Phison controller, the other one being the Torqx 2. This lightweight (77 grams) 2.5 SSD can withstand 1500G of force. The PS-100 series is available at capacities 32 GB, 64 GB and 128 Gb.
The PS-100 will not match up with high end SSDs, namely Wildfire or Vertex 3, but it is suitable for upgrading notebooks and laptop computers. As it is equipped with a MLC NAND flash, the PS-100 series of SSD drives offers faster boot times as well as quicker application load times as compared to traditional HDDs. There will be noticeable reduction of insystem boot time as well as overall speed improvements when you decide to use this SSD.
This SSD can deliver a read speed of up to 210 MB/s and a write speed of up to 150 MB/s. It has RAID support but Microsoft fans will frown as it does not support Windows 7. There is, however, a firmware upgrade available at the Patriot Memory official site.

Overall we recommend you avoid the Patriot PS-100, just as you would an SSD based on an original JMicron controller. Although the smaller capacity models may seem tempting, we strongly recommend that you restrain yourself from buying this product. That said, we will be keeping an eye on future firmware releases to see if the PS-100 can be salvaged, but do not get your hopes up.

Although the Patriot PS-100 has some firmware issues with regard to the write speeds, it is still an ideal drive simply because of its consistent sequential read results.
