Patriot have a wide portfolio of Flash based drives from memory cards to standard 2.5in SSDs. The one gap in the current product line was a PCIe interfaced drive, a gap that has been more than adequately filled by the Hellfire M.2, the company's first...

After setting a blaze in today's review, we have to say we are impressed with the Patriot Hellfire. The Patriot Hellfire doesn't come with any accessories and the 3-year warranty is shorter than the more expensive Samsung 960 PRO or OCZ RD400, but it...

This is a road we've traveled before; we will call it the Phison Highway. The Patriot Hellfire will receive updates on the way to an undisclosed destination. History tells us no one knows where we may stop along the way, or how finished the E7 will ever be. The S10 never delivered on all of its promises, and it has been on the road for more than two years. The Patriot Hellfire could suffer from the same fate, which is something to consider before jumping in the passenger seat.

Before we continue I really need to point out that the Hellfire 480GB NVMe M.2 SSD was tested on our latest Core i7-6700 build and not on our previous Core i7-6700k build like the Samsung 950 Pro 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD so a direct comparison is not 100%...

At the heart of the Patriot Hellfire is Phison's PS5007-E7 controller, their first PCIe NVMe SSD controller. Phison originally intended this to be a high-end controller, but they fell short of that mark — and they didn't just lose against Samsung's...
