You may remember the review we did on the?Kingston HyperX X2 Grey Series 4GB 1600MHz memory kit. If you haven't seen it, then we highly suggest that you do so as it won our brand new PLATINUM award. We awarded it as platinum because it really is that good by offering a reasonable speed, slick design, great overclocking potential and most importantly is dirt cheap. As we have so much money here at eTeknix and are literally rolling around in it (I wish) we thought it would only be right that we give that set of memory to one lucky reader. Normally we would team up with a manufacturer to offer these great giveaways, but this time we did it all by ourselves, I'm sure our mum's would be so proud.
Patriot Memory has been a long-time provider of system components for performance enthusiasts. It was a natural evolution for them to focus their efforts on SSDs to compliment the demand for high-end RAM.

In this article Benchmark Reviews tests performance on the 120GB Patriot Wildfire Solid State Drive, model PW120GS25SSDR, specified for up to 555 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write performance with 4K random write speeds as high as 80,000 IOPS in real world testing.
