Patriot Pyro SE SATA III Solid State Drive Review
PCMark 7 Storage Benchmarks
We really like PCMark 7's Secondary Storage benchmark module for its pseudo real-world application measurement approach to testing. PCMark 7 offers a trace-based measurement of system response times under various scripted workloads of traditional client / desktop system operation. From simple application start-up performance, to data streaming from a drive in a game engine, and video editing with Windows Movie Maker, we feel more comfortable that these tests reasonably illustrate the performance profile of SSDs in an end-user / consumer PC usage model, more so than a purely synthetic transfer test.

The Patriot Pyro SE once again finishes right about where'd you expect it to in the PCMark 7 secondary storage system benchmarks. It trades with the WildFire in a couple of the tests, but overall the WildFire with it Toshiba NAND have a slight edge.
