Viper Gaming Adds RGB To NVMe SSD

Patriot’s Viper Gaming brand claims a first in its offering of RGB lighting on the integrated heat sink of an M.2 drive, the VPR400. A new “Smart Viper RGB 3.0” software is being released in tandem with the VPR400 hardware, to allow users to synchronize these drives with other VIPER GAMING RGB peripherals using either customized or factory programmed RGB lighting patterns.

Integrating the Innogrit IG5220 Gen4x4 controller and 3D NAND flash, the VPR400 claims Sequential Reads up to 4,600MB/s. Writes are where the big 1TB drive’s performance stands apart from 512GB model, at 4400 vs 3600 MB/s.
