Patriot's New SSD Borrows Page from VelociRaptors

[Guest]

This drive isn't really for the server market is all. Which is a confusing move as most of these puppies are too expensive for consumers anyway.

Also if I remember correctly current SSDs do not have the firmware to support hot swapping

big geat sink may actually increase heat on the drive.

The Warp SSD's suck anyhow....

Ditto. Although enthusiast cases are coming with SATA drive bays anyway, and I doubt the average gamer needs to hot-swap a harddrive.

Maybe Partriot will correct their mistake before launch.

I'm trying to imagine a scenario where you'd need to hot swap a hard drive on a consumer PC. That would be like having a 6 point racing harness in your Toyota Camry.
