Viper Gaming, a trademarked brand of Patriot Memory LLC, is releasing a PCIe 4.0 SSD, the VP4100 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x 4 SSD.

VP4100 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x 4 SSD is a M.2 SSD choice for hardcore gamers, PC enthusiasts, content creators, and video rendering professionals who are looking into fast start-up times and instantaneous access for productivity.

It’s transfer speeds empower the user to access and get back into their games faster while accelerating the overall responsiveness of the system. The VP4100 is 10 times faster than the traditional 6Gb SATA SSD speeds and deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5GB/s and write speeds of up to 4.4GB/s. The drive also provides up to 800,000 random read and write IO/s. 4K aligned random read and write optimizes the SSD for multi-threaded and data-intensive applications for when the system is accessing multiple applications at once.

“The Patriot Viper VP4100 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x 4 SSD has been designed to deliver unparalleled performance on the latest 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Desktop Processors and X570 motherboards allowing PC enthusiasts and video creators to take full advantage of the Phison PCIe 4.0 controller and the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Desktop platform,” said Roger Shinmoto, VP, Patriot and Viper Gaming.

Traditional NVMe SSDs have a performance restriction to maintain a workable operating temperature which can limit read and write data transfer speeds. To address this issue, the VP4100 M.2 SSD has been designed with an external thermal sensor to monitor internal temperatures and prevent the risk of overheating. Aiming to decrease performance drops, it features a built-in military-grade aluminum heatshield for providing thermal dissipation under the heavy workloads. It is designed with aluminum, asymmetrical, and tilted thermal fin aesthetic. Its 3mm height fits in any PCIe slot, allowing more space for various connections. It is backed by a 5-year warranty,.

Features highlights:

Built with the Phison Electronics Corp.‘s E16 PCIe Gen4 x 4 NVMe controller to unlock fast sequential read and write speeds.
Compatible with the 3rd Gen AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.) Ryzen Desktop Processors and X570 motherboards.
Onboard thermal sensor to provide additional protection under intense workloads.
Delivers a combination of performance, fast transfer speeds, and enhanced multitasking capabilities.
Built on a 10-layer PCB to guarantee signal integrity for ultra-stability.

The VP4100 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x 4 SSD is expected to be available at major retailers for a suggested retail price of $599.99 for 2TB, and $399.99 for 1TB. Look at Amazon for 2TB and 1TB models.
