Patriot Viper VP4100 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD Review

For testing, the drives are all wiped and reset to factory settings by HDDerase V4. We try to use free or easily available programs and some real world testing so you can compare our findings against your own system.
This is a good way to measure potential upgrade benefits.

Because there is no Intel support at the time of writing for PCIe 4.0 SSDs, we've swapped out our normal test rig for an AMD X570/Ryzen 3000 based platform.

Main system:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, 16GB DDR4, Sapphire R9 390 Nitro and a MSI Meg X570 Ace motherboard.

Software:
Atto Disk Benchmark 3.05.
CrystalMark 6.0.0.
AS SSD 2.0.
IOMeter.
Futuremark PC Mark 8

All our results were achieved by running each test five times with every configuration this ensures that any glitches are removed from the results. Trim is confirmed as running by typing fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify into the command line. A response of disabledeletenotify =0 confirms TRIM is active.
