Patriot Viper VPN100 Unpacking, Installing & Benchmarking

After using a regular Samsung EVO sata ssd for a while and knowing the speeds of m.2. ssd's, which I had in the past (see my Samsung 950 pro m.2. ssd video) I decided to do two things:

- Replace the current Samsung Sata drive for more speed
- Do a complete fresh Windows install (in 2018 I just cloned my version I installed in 2016).

In this video you will see me unpacking, installing and benchmarking with some tools to see how the Patriot VPN100 matches up.

Put a tiny bit of blu tack in the head of the screw and don’t use a flat head screwdriver, use the proper cross head (Phillips). Job done.

You could make any screwdriver, or other piece of iron or steel, magnetic by running any magnet along the tip in direction handle-tip. Would help a lot with screwing stuff in, especially if it's so tiny like that NVMe drive screw. A Phillips head would be useful with Phillips head screws lol
How's the drive going so far? I mean it isn't on my top priority list to get an NVMe drive but since the MB that I'm going for has a NVME M.2 slot eventually I'll get around to buying one mostly for the looks and the sake of filling in the slot, how's it going so far? Does it have any issues?

If you update windows and let all the adjustments from a fresh install be made then you will load from that ssd in less then 10 second, idk why you power state took so long mine takes less then 3 seconds and by the time im at ten i need to log in so collectively less then 10 seconds

Put the screw in the hole first and then install the drive lol
