Fremont, California, USA, May 13, 2010 - Patriot Memory, a global pioneer in high-performance memory, NAND flash and computer peripheral solutions, today announced the immediate availability of the Inferno series to its family of solid-state-drives (SSDs). The Inferno series of SSD offer blazing fast transfer speeds, improved system responsiveness, quicker boot times, and shorter application loading times over traditional hard disk drive storage solutions.

Patriot’s Inferno series, available in 100GB and 200GB capacities, is designed around the highly acclaimed SF-1200 processor series. Paired with specially screened MLC NAND Flash the Inferno drives deliver class leading performance with sequential read and write speeds of 285MB/s and 275MB/s respectively. SandForce DuraClass™ technology provides enhanced endurance and reliability by an average of 20x over traditional SSD controllers through innovative write technology and Wear Leveling.

“The Inferno series of SSDs are the fastest and most exciting that Patriot has yet brought to market,” states Les Henry, Vice President of Engineering at Patriot. “We have been pleased to work with SandForce to bring these enterprise level SSDs to the mainstream market at a fraction of the costs. We are very impressed with the performance numbers based on the SandForce SSD Processor. This solution fits well with our objective of offering the latest technology and best performance in our product lineup.”

“Patriot is well known for delivering high-performance memory and solid state drive solutions to the enthusiast market. It was natural for SandForce to work closely with Patriot in developing a SSD solution which offers incredible performance and reliability,” said Thad Omura, VP of Marketing at SandForce. “The SandForce SF-1222 SSD processor brings a level of performance sure to please the early adopters in the PC enthusiast crowd that Patriot caters to so well”

The Inferno family of SSDs provide incredible performance, reliability and a 5-year warranty. Each Inferno SSD ships with a 2.5” to 3.5” adapter simplifying installation into desktop PCs.

How's the SF-1222 different than the SF-1200?

So far this is all I have:

Patriot PR:
The SF-1200 is the ‘series’ but when you look at the markings on the chip its SF-1222
I cracked open my OCZ Vertex 2 100GB SSD and this is what I see:

Inside the Corsair Force 100GB SSD was this:

Still investigating and waiting for SandForce to comment.

Took 5 days, but here is the update from SandForce:
The SF-1200 is actually shorthand for all of the SF-12xx SSD processors including the SF-1222. Currently the SF-1222 is the only offering in the SF-1200 family. Here is a key feature document you can use.
They also sent me this cool chart.

Interesting, I thought SLC was reserved for the SF-1500 only.
