CDRLabs kicks off the week with a review of Patriot's 240GB Pyro SE solid state drive. This new and improved version of the Pyro is powered by the same SandForce SF-2281 controller and shares many of the same features including a SATA 6Gb/s interface and native TRIM support. However, instead of asynchronous NAND, the Pyro SE is equipped with 25nm synchronous MLC NAND to deliver up to 550MB/s read and 520 MB/s write speeds as well as a maximum of 85,000 IOPS.
