At a glance, it'd be easy to mistake Patriot's newest Warp SSD for a Western Digital VelociRaptor hard drive. That's because like the VelociRaptor, Patriot plans to include a bracket with the Warp drive that converts the 2.5-inch drive into a 3.5-inch form factor.
Keep in mind that Western Digital's IcePAK was designed to help keep its 10K RPM hard drive cool. Patriot's bracket, which Fudzilla says is made out of aircraft-grade aluminum, will undoubtedly lend additional cooling prowess to the Warp SSD, but SSDs don't typically get hot in the first place.
As for the drive itself, the third-gen SSD checks in at 256GB and boasts increasingly common read and write speeds of 240MB/s and 160MB/s, respectively.
No word yet on availability or price, however according to Fudzilla, Patriot plans to give the bracket away for free with the Warp SSD.

How much space do you need for your main drive??
Just put your OS and apps on an SSD and get a normal drive for data and backup.

It's not like it's anything new.

Hell, I remember buying 3.5 inch retail hard drives that came with adapters to fit in 5 inch bays. Not exactly a new idea.

I can't believe something as moronic as a bracket is news for MPC. The end must be near!

i think this is a no brainer, and i bet all companies will soon follow suit. just kind of surprised patriot lead the way.

Indeed, i think you're correct. However, one concern about this SSD bracket deal...what's the point? As the article stated, and we all have official proof if you own a flash card or usb flash drive, that they do not heat, and if they do, it's not enough to make a difference. Really all this says to me is that they want to market to those who are anal retentive about cooling, to a point where if the object changes by like 2 degress, they want to prevent that. Only time one of those would get heated enough to display an issue, would be if it's right on top of a normal hd, or above some other heated component (psu, video card, cpu, optical drive, etc)
i dotn think heat disipation

i dotn think heat disipation is the point of the bracket (that's just a bonus) its main use is so the notebook sized 2.5 can fit in a standard 3.5 without a hassle
