Patriot EP Pro SDHC UHS-1 32GB review - Specs adn preliminary testing

With the summer holidays in mind we wanted to review this product. The Patriot Memory’s EP Pro SDHC/SDXC delivers transfer speeds of 90MB/s (read) and 50MB/s (write) and have capacities up to a whopping 128GB, yeah embedded on a  little card the size of a postage stamp.

Patriot Memory EP Pro SDHC SDXC UHS-I

That is nearly 5x the transfer speeds of standard SDHC cards, when used with UHS-I compatible devices, the EP Pro SDHC/SDXC provides the high performance necessary for professional high definition multimedia content creation.

Feature Set:

  • SDXC UHS-I Class 1, SDHC Class 10
  • Read and write speeds of up to 90 MB/S (read) and 50 MB/S (write)
  • Capacities: 16GB, 32GB (SDHC) 64GB, 128GB (SDXC)
  • Class 10 compatible
  • 5-Year Warranty

So remember that  'normal' UHS-I cards typically have a maximum 60MB/35MB/s ceiling. However, a device needs to support the UHS interface in order to realize the quoted speeds; the card defaults to a Class 10 SDHC in non-UHS-I-approved cameras and camcorders.

The performance is easy enough to test as there is many software available that can measure sustained bandwith, we'll simply grab a USB 3.0 port with a USB 3.0 card reader attached to it, which will show maximum throughput combined with the right software stress tests.

So how fast is it ?

Patriot Memory EP Pro SDHC SDXC UHS-I

That's impressive performance from a SDHC carted right there. In the chart above I have added two other results, a cheapo class 6 rated card from SanDisk, a slightly more expensive Class 10 card from ADATA and then the new Patriot SDXC UHS-I Class 1slash SDHC Class 10 card.

As you can see read performance is nearly 30% slower then advertised performance, which is curious. however the 73 MB/sec remains dauntingly fast. Write performance is advertised at 50 MB/sec, we reached 46 MB/sec so that is just good. Compared to a class 10 SHDC card that's 3 to 4 times the read performance and a good two to two and a half times on write performance.

You can see from traditional Class 10 cards that the performance bump is really significant, but before making any conclusions, let's fire up some more benchmarks.

Patriot EP Pro SDHC UHS-1 32GB review
We review the Patriot EP Pro SDHC UHS-1 32GB flash card. It's not your average SDHC storage card, this little fracker can read at 90 Mb/sec and write at 50 Mb/sec, making it amongst the fastest SDHC cards available on the market.

Patriot Pyro SE 240GB SSD review
Patriot wanted to release another SSD, something a little over the top and as such that meant releasing the Pyro SE SSD. While based on the SandForce 2281 controller Patriot did apply some tweaks to make the product even faster. To keep it up to snuff it comes with synchronous NAND flash memory. According to Patriot that will increase its sequential read and write performance to 550MB/s and 520MB/s.

Patriot SuperSonic Magnum USB 3.0 flash drive review
Patriot Memory recently released a USB stick, all 3.0 compatible and it's called the SuperSpeed Magnum. That surely hints towards a nice caliber. We test the 64GB version of this model, and their Magnum .. well it's the fastest and most l33t little fracker your money can get you with read performance of 200 MB per sec.

Patriot WildFire 120GB SSD review
We look at an offering from Patriot memory, they added two new SATA 3 (SATA 3 6Gs) SSDs in their WildFire lineup, the WildFire in 120GB & 240GB capacities (480GB coming as well), All SATA 3 of course. Both drives come with that already famous SandForce SF-2281 controller to deliver at up to 550 MBps read and 510 MBps write speeds.
