Patriot Memory is a United States-based creator and producer specializing in PC USB flash drives, memory modules, solid-state drives, and gaming peripherals.[1] Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Patriot handles the design, development, manufacturing, and assembly of its computer hardware domestically.[2]
History
Established in 1985 under the name PDP Systems by high school friends Paul Jones, Douglas Diggs, and Phil Young from Mountain View, CA, the company initially focused on producing DRAM modules as an OEM supplier for prominent PC manufacturers while Jones was attending UC Davis.
In 2003, PDP Systems introduced the Patriot Memory brand aimed at retail and online consumers, featuring DDR SDRAM equipped with full-module bladed metal heat spreaders—a signature design that has persisted through successive DDR4 iterations.[3] Eventually, Patriot Memory became the company’s official name.
The business maintains two production facilities located in Fremont, California, and Taipei, Taiwan. CEO Paul Jones credits the continuation of U.S.-based manufacturing to automation efficiencies and reduced logistics expenses.[4] The firm continues to expand its "VIPER" series of memory modules and gaming accessories—including keyboards, mice, headsets, and USB flash drives—alongside its "BURST" line of solid-state drives.
