Viper Gaming/Patriot VPR100 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 RGB Up to 2TB SSD

Viper Gaming by Patriot, a trademarked brand of Patriot Memory LLC, launch of the VPR100 SSD.

This M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 RGB SSD offers capacities from 256GB up to 2TB. The VPR100 is targeted to deliver speed and performance for gaming, overclocking, video content creating, and 3D rendering.

Built with the Phison Electronics Corp. E12 PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe controller to bring out fast sequential read and write speeds and OS start-up time. The VPR100 utilizes a low-profile aluminum heatshield that not only dissipates performance-robbing heat, but also highlights the on-board LEDs making it an eye-catching centerpiece of any PC build.

The VPR100 is a a PCIe M.2 SSD that offers users to customize their RGB illumination through the ‘Viper RGB app 2.1’ application. The software equipped with up to 5 customizable lighting profiles along with 8 pre-programmed RGB lighting patterns, including viper, heartbeat, breathing. The interface makes it easyto select from the entire RGB spectrum and lighting patterns to match their gaming setup.

The VPR100 RGB SSD is compatible with the many sync software, including Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome Sync giving users the ultimate RGB control.

SSD read and write speeds are essential metrics when choosing a based NVMe M.2 SSD especially when the system is subjected to heavy workloads like intensive gaming or UHD video editing. The VPR100 offers better performance over traditional non-PCIe storage products and is more compact. It delivers sequential read and write performance with up to 3,300MB/s read speed on 1TB/2TB model and 2,900MB/s write speed. The drive provides 4K random-read IO/s up to 700,000 and random-write IO/s up to 650,000 on 1TB/2TB model for throughput. Performance is enhanced thanks to the structure of the SLC caching algorithm, ensuring that data is handled quick and efficient.

The VPR100 is built with the components on a 10-layer PCB board for ensuring the best signal integration and stability and an external thermal sensor to monitor internal temperatures of the drive and prevent the risk of overheating. It aims to reduce performance degradation and extends the life of the drive. It is built with a military-grade aluminum heatshield with an alloy design to provide thermal dissipation.
