Patriot Pyro Review

Testing:

Crystal Disk Mark 3.0: Crystal Disk Mark is a hard drive benchmark designed to measure the read and write speeds of drives by using 4k blocks, 512k blocks, and sequential data. For the test, we chose the 1000MB option.

The Patriot Pyro's performance in Crystal Disk Mark 3.0 made it look more like a SATA II drive as apposed to a SATA III drive. I must admit I was slightly disappointed with the Pyro's performance in this benchmark.
