Unboxing some Torqx
Unboxing some Torqx
On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at high-resolution and then cropped and scaled down. The camera used was a Canon 450D 12 MegaPixel.
Right, unboxing the product we notice that the SSD has the Torqx branding clearly visible on it. Other than the SSD and packaging you'll find a jumper, allowing you to enable to flash the firmware of the controller. But also a 2.5" to 3.5" drive bay so you can easily secure the drive in your PC. Something I like very much.
You can find the model we tested under the product code (SKU) PFZ128GS25SSDR and this is the 2.5" SATA II 128GB version. And of course, it's a perfect fit for laptops. This SSD would bring a whole lot of performance onto that laptop alright, all at low power consumption and virtually no heat.
Slim and light-weight, 9.5mm tall, it's the standard for notebook drives, but since most 'common' PCs have all 3.5" drive bays, Patriot includes a drive bay bracket for exactly that format. A very nice detail we think.
When we look at the connectors, we spot the standard power and SATA connector. But let's zoom in a little bit.
