P320 512GB Internal SSD - NVMe PCIe Gen 3x4 - M.2 2280 - Solid State Drive - P320P512GM28

When I tried to upgrade to Windows 11 on my laptop computer (which IS physically capable of it) the hard drive died. I blame Windows 11 because I hate being forced to accept a new OS, but honestly, it was probably a coincidence. Luckly, my clever husband, an engineer and tinkerer, was able to run a lot of tests, verify the hard drive was bad, and replace it with this new one. It has the same storage capacity, seems fast and the installation was straightforward. The price was good, it worked, and my laptop is as good as new. I would recommend it.

Great amount of storage to replace my old HDD. Compatibility with my MSI Trident 3 8 was perfect. Keep in mind you’ll need to use a USB with Windows 11 installation media on it and it worked perfectly, installing speed 10x faster. So far I assume no heat issues as my computer was specifically designed to run NVMe

I always have good luck with Patriot products. This SSD is very fast, and the price was very good. I use it as a clone for my windows drive in my PC, so it won't get much use for a while, but I am confident it will do the job when it is called on. I can't speak to warranty service, because I have never needed it with Patriot devices. I would buy again.

Could be seen as a slight upgrade on a pre-fab office PC for the 2nd slot in a Dell Micro model vs OEM stock one on speeds. Blazing fast for predictions markets for real-time space junk database and calculations. Speed is within spec of 2,200 read, however in several office bulk purchases they had benchmarked near 2,300. Overall great compatibility on different "Micro" PCs may it be Dell or HP ProDesk Micro.

Work and performed perfectly in the computer I put it in.

It works as expected

Normally I go for one of a small group of premium name brand high capacity M.2 NVMe drives. In this case, I wanted to upgrade from a smaller USB thumb drive that I was using to see if a roon music server would perform well enough even with a slower thumb drive as the database drive running externally to my NAS. Since everything is backed up on that resource anyway and the database would likely never grow beyond 100GB, the main thing I needed was speed at low cost to keep up with my growing music collection. Even the lower performance models of M.2 SSDs from the big guys are rather pricey and the smaller sizes are disappearing rapidly from many product lines. It took a little filtering and dedicated searching to get down to where I wanted and most of the names I found were either unfamiliar or had very low sales volumes with relatively few reviews. My data is backed up, but that doesn't mean I ever want to use the backup. Patriot has been around for a while now and although I'd only used some of their older technology DIMMs and SoDIMMs in the way back, I couldn't ever recall a failure with them. I poked around and found this little guy for a price in the same range as a thumb drive of similar capacity, but with this M.2 being a 10-20X performance speed demon by comparison to USB thumb drives and many of the low end M.2s. I popped the drive into a socket and ran some tests on it and was pleased to see numbers consistent or a little better than the data sheet and that are far in excess of what I needed for my application. This won't keep up with the top of the line drives out there, most of which are 2-4X larger and significantly faster, but at least on paper it outpaces everything else I saw and was from a vendor with many reviews who has been around the storage block a few times. As a bonus, it's not getting very hot at all with just a simple flat aluminum plate for a heat sink, although that's typical of lower capacity drives running at slower speeds than their bigger cousins. Less than 10C rise at max so far and typically less. I could easily see popping this into a USB type 3.2 enclosure and using it as a portable drive where drives much larger would be overkill, but you want to leverage the speed of the latest generation USB ports for data transfers. It's not the latest and greatest, but speed and capacity you can't or won't ever use on a given SSD is wasted money so in the right size/performance use case niches, this is a bargain drive. Sometimes less is more ;-)

This works very well for the price.

It’s buying for my external enclosure

Installed as boot disc for older Dell laptop. Kept the old HDD for storage. SSD for Windows and Apps/ Apps data. Working very well. HDD was at 100% before install. Now SSD is about1-2% and the HDD about 1%. Easy to install and load to. Check the spec before purchase to confirm compatibility. If anything changes will update.

Muito bom! Recomendo!

Awesome for the price in this situation. Got it around 9.2K
