https://www.techpowerup.com/251441/ces-2019-a-closer-look-at-patriots-ssds-memory-and-flash-drives Patriot had their Signature Line on hand which uses a simple black aluminum heatshield and comes in capacities up to 16 GB per module with speeds up to 2666 MHz. For a single 16 GB stick at 2666 MHz the listed the timings at 19-19-19-43. Next was the new Viper Steel DDR4 SODIMMs with capacity that ranged from 8 GB to 32 GB and feature XMP 2.0 support for automatic overclocking. As for speeds they top out at 3000 MHz for these kits. Next up was the Viper RGB memory which comes in speeds of up to 4133 MHz and with timings listed at 19-21-21-41.
Patriot had their Viper VPN100 series NVMe SSD on hand. For these drives, they used the Phison E12 controller and the 2280 m.2 form factor. Capacities range from 256 GB to 2 TB with sequential read and write speeds listed at 3450 MB/s and 3000 MB/s respectively.
We also took a moment to check out the EVLVR Thunderbolt 3 external SSD. It offers blazing fast performance with read and write speeds of up to 1600 MB/s and 1000 MB/s respectively. Portable and with a 2-year warranty the EVLVR external SSD is available now with the 512 GB costing $243.99 while the 1 TB will set you back $380.99 from Patriot direct. I think the prices shown here are good value for money.
