CONCLUSION

   2.5” SATA III SSD models have been around for well over a decade now so performance-wise they reached their limit a long time ago. This however doesn’t mean improvements are not possible so if you check some of my latest reviews, you’ll see performance bumps compared even to models released just a couple of years ago, perhaps not impressive ones true but still they’re there. Capacity is my only issue with the Burst Elite line (as with most 2.5” SSD lines out there) since it doesn’t quite deliver what I’d like to see in terms of capacity from it. Yes, 1.92TB is not bad and for many people this should be plenty but for me the sweet spot currently for any SSD is 4TB so i do hope Patriot releases such capacity models as well.

   With a retail price currently set at USD186.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and at 169.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Burst Elite 1.92TB 2.5” SATA III SSD by Patriot is priced extremely well and significantly lower compared to similar factor and capacity models. So overall the Patriot Burst Elite 1.92TB model delivers on performance (for a SATA III model), capacity, durability and cost and that’s exactly it deserves the Golden Award.
