Designed with the needs of content creators, gamers and PC enthusiasts in mind the, Hellfire will lower latency while increasing the productivity and response times of any PC, laptop or notebook. The Hellfire M.2 will be released in capacities of 240GB, 480GB and 960GB in a M.2 2280 form factor to fulfill the high performance storage needs of consumers looking to upgrade their systems. Powered by the Phison 5007 controller and MLC NAND, the Hellfire will be your weapon of choice when battling those latency bottlenecks.

Hellfire PCIe AIC SSD
In addition to the Hellfire M.2, Patriot will also launch the Patriot Hellfire PCIe AIC for those looking for the ultimate performance boost to their PC. The Hellfire PCIe AIC with a Gen 3 x 4 interface is Patriot's top of the line choice for a storage solution. With sequential read speeds of up to 3000MB/s and write speeds of up to 2200MB/s the Hellfire PCIe AIC smokes the competition to position itself as Patriot's premium performance drive.

With varying speeds between capacities, the Hellfire PCIe AIC will be available in capacities of 240GB, 480GB and 960GB to meet the market needs of every demographic. Also utilizing the Phison 5007 with MLC NAND , the Hellfire PCIe AIC will set your system ablaze.

"We are very excited to get into the PCIe storage space," said Les Henry, VP of Engineering at Patriot. "With the launch of Intel's latest Skylake Processor, we are seeing more motherboards available in the consumer market that support PCIe devices. Along with the launch of Microsoft Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, which supports PCIe storage devices without the need for additional drivers, we feel this will be the future trend and will allow users to take full advantage of the PCIe storage speeds."

Availability
The Patriot Hellfire drives will be available for purchase at the end of Q1.

PCIE SSD's need to go down in price. They are very fast, but they come at a very high premium.

Finally something new in the M.2 SSD market!

Samsung 950 was the only SSD with good speeds and affordable price.

I don't like the adapter it's ok for someone who don't want to buy a new mobo but some manufacturers are also using similar pci adapter solution to add usb 3.1.

I prefer integrated M.2 ports (and two of them) on mobo but right now asrock extreme 11 is the only X99 mobo who has 2 Ultra M.2 slots (PCIe Gen3 x4) and option to raid 0.

Too expensive due cause it includes 2 PLX chips to allow x16 x16 x16 x16 quad SLI/CFX.

I just ordered a 512gb 950 pro today. I bought a skylake platform so I could have 2 integrated slots as you said. I will sell my old ssds in the meantime and buy a 1tb 950 pro when they come out in a few months.

The fact the sata ssds are bottlenecked by their own connector standard is insane. Whoever owns the sata standard mustn't like money or something.

Z170 is great for M.2 and has a lot of options but i'll stick to X99 in my next mobo/CPU/RAM upgrade.

I want to be able to do at least X16 X16 SLI/CFX and Z170 chipset only allow 20 lanes for PCI-E graphics (cause it's used for 20 lanes CPUs).
