Patriot P300 M.2 PCIe Gen 3 x4 256GB Low-Power Consumption SSD

Installed easily and was recognized immediately. It’s a great low-power SSD for a boot drive or upgrading an older system. Performance is noticeably faster than a SATA SSD or HDD for boot and general use. Solid value for the price, good read speed.

Works great with the adapter I bought it here at Amazon too used on my 2015 MBP on natural Monterey installed works flawlessly and good performance and lots of storage space and boot camp Windows 10 work perfectly also

I’ve had no problems with this SSD. All the advertised speeds are accurate, and it runs just fine without any heat spreader. Perfect for gaming, work, and general tasks.

Great little PCIe SSD that just works. I've installed mine on a Raspberry Pi 5 and it just worked, and as easy to install as any NVME/SSD. I tested the storage capacity, since I know some cheaper models like to fake the numbers, but I was able to fill it up and read a 503GB file so the storage capacity is true. It copied at 1GB/s, which seems to be the proper numbers that they claim. A little slower than others, but for the price point it's just fine.

I ordered this drive to replace a smaller 128GB SSD hard drive in my desktop PC. After using a drive image clone utility (Rescuezilla) that I had to download, I was able to clone the drive from the PC's SSD drive to a new larger external SSD drive that was placed into an external SSD (M.2 size) USB enclosure. After doing that, I replaced the PC's SSD drive module with the new module. However, Windows 11 would not boot. Kept getting boot errors. After much research online, I found that using the DISKPART utility and the Boot Configuration Data (BCD), bcdedit, I was able to diagnose that somehow the cloned drive had 2 boot entries. After removing a boot entry, I also had to specify that the new drive was drive C, and that the other drive in the PC was D. Since it was reversed, the new drive would not boot. Once I cleaned up the boot entries and assigned the new drive to drive C, the PC was able to boot to Windows 11, with the same drive. After that, the new drive showed as the same smaller size as the original drive. So I then had to use Windows Disk Manager to extend the C drive partition to use the remaining unassigned partition. This made the new drive larger, showing C as a larger capacity drive. That is what I was looking to accomplish. It was not easy, but finally figured it out. So I cannot say that the drive itself was the issue. It was probably the disk clone software that was the cause. So be careful if you are using the new SSD drive to replace an existing bootable hard drive for Windows.

Worked great

I have been using this product for a few months now and works with no issues. Speedss are pretty good and was easy to install. Storage is ok and compatible with windows 11

While this SSD is on the lower end in terms of read/write speeds, but its perfectly fine of C Drive OS duties. So far no issues and pleased with its very low temps. This is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable low power, low cost SSD.
