The Viper VPN100 PCIe M.2 SSD is a solid product, the 512GB model here retails at RM 389. There's also the 256GB model retailing at RM 230 and as for the 1TB and 2TB models, you'll have to check the price and availability with your regional contact....

This is a good product, so we've decided to give it the “Great Value” award. You can buy this 512GB version for around 100 USD, and you've seen the numbers, it's well worth it. You also need to remember that the price will most likely drop even further,...

Equipped with the latest Phison E12 controller, is the Patriot Viper VPN100 512GB the solid state drive for the enthusiast? If I were to rate it on looks alone, I would call it a winner -- it certainly looks the part. The massive Viper-branded aluminum...

When Patriot informed us that they were sending the 256GB variant of the VPN100 (due to stock issues, we will however try to also get one of its higher capacity brothers) we weren't very thrilled mainly because we knew it couldn't compete with...
