Used for a budget system of €300 that you can see here: https://youtu.be/hB8J9ox0Xs4 It opens Windows 11 instantly and generally the system doesn't lag at all!
Just fine for what I wanted it for (External M2 SSD for Raspberry 4), runs Windows 11 on ARM extremely fast, you feel like you're on a 2019 Laptop. Windows 11 on Arm CPU Raspberry 4 with the WOR Project needs such drives to work well. The cards and even the fast USB sticks are excessively slow.
I connected it to an mvme usb 3.1 enclosure, it reads 1000 mbps almost well, it's fine although I don't use it intensively, it worked and I have no complaints. For 16 euros mvme it's good and if it breaks I'll get another one
For the average user, it's fine. I don't know if and what it does for consoles. For computers, it's great in terms of speed and reliability. It's not among the fastest, but the average user won't notice any differences. For high-end builds, you will definitely find better ones.
Initially, one was purchased and Windows were installed on it with some programs... everything was going well and the computer was opening and responding immediately with speeds over 2 GB per second. After a week, I bought a second one for some more programs that needed to run immediately... a year later, the first one simply "died" while it had 97% life and it took all my data with it to the grave... the second one is reporting 98% and currently working... maybe I got a faulty one that died within a year... I will come back in the future for updates. I would suggest going to someone from Samsung as they have a very low failure rate.
As a first impression, since I bought it very recently, it is definitely faster than the basic m.2 SSD from Hynix that the Lenovo Ideapad 3 had, with an additional upgrade from 8GB RAM to 12GB (because unfortunately the laptop has soldered 4GB on the motherboard that cannot be removed). The computer loads significantly faster during startup and programs open faster. As a cheap upgrade, it is a very good choice!
With the installation of the Patriot M.2 P300 512GB, the TOSHIBA HDWD110 disk started acting strange. It was functioning intermittently. Sometimes it worked normally, sometimes the disk structure was visible but there was no access to the files, and sometimes it completely disappeared. I removed the Patriot M.2 P300 512GB and the disk returned to normal for the days I had it disconnected. When I installed it again, the problems reappeared.
After patiently transferring the files to another disk, I formatted it and also replaced the SATA cables with the other TOSHIBA DT01ACA300. Since then, everything has been working fine. I suppose the solution was changing the SATA cables.
A friend who writes that he has TBW 960GB is wrong. It is a typographical error. Further down on the Patriot page, it has the PDF product sheet and there it says 960TB

TBW: Up to 960GB !! WARNING it is GB and not TB.
So it will wear out very quickly. I attach an image
I didn't expect such performance! It's definitely worth it, even for 20€, I almost regret not getting the 512. I'm looking forward to installing Windows and seeing the real difference!
I bought it because I found it relatively cheap, a 128GB one for backup at 15 euros, and to fill a slot on my motherboard that takes three! Now, at idle temperatures, it is at 41 degrees, while the Samsung 980 1TB with work and Windows on is at 28°C!
I bought it for backup. It is fast, I haven't stressed it, I haven't had enough time to form a complete opinion, but I mainly voted for it because of its good price compared to the mb.
For 20 euros, which is what most SATA SSDs with the same capacity cost, it's simply unbeatable.
It's extremely fast, reputable, and quite nice-looking, as it has the same PCB color as most motherboards sold today and a green LED that flashes according to its operation, just like the HDD LEDs on cases.
We used it in a build that you can see here: https://youtu.be/4Q_ZogwX7bQ
Very good m.2 ssd, it has the promised speeds.
It is cheap for what it offers. I will see if it will last, I will update you if anything happens.
The only negative is a green light that blinks slowly when the computer is active. For someone who doesn't have the case with glass next to them, it won't be a problem because it won't bother their eyes.
However, value for money!

For 30 euros, which is the price of most SATA SSDs with the same capacity, it's simply unbeatable.
It's incredibly fast, reputable, and quite nice-looking, as it has the same color PCB as most motherboards sold today and a green LED that flashes according to its operation, like the HDD LEDs on cases.
