Even though both drives are based off the same technology, the firmware is a different and this may have the greatest impact on performance between the two units. Many users of the Patriot Torqx SSDs have noticed a performance decrease when using the 1819 firmware, but this firmware keeps the drives performance static on a TRIM-enabled OS - even after prolonged use.
