In the semester, it died! I became the laughingstock of the technicians in the area who had the brilliant idea to get a Patriot SSD! Entire batches have been returned. I had the 2GB disk.
I hope I can figure out the warranty situation...
Patriot only from here: https://www.imdb.com/find/?q=patriot&ref_=nv_sr_sm
Guys, the disk failed in a year and a half. BAD STAY AWAY. And from what I see, many others have the same issue. It's like it's designed to break during the warranty. STAY AWAY, WE SAY
It lasted a year.
I have tried SSDs and SSDs, from the cheapest consumer grade on a Raspberry Pi with USB, mid-range on ZFS, and refurbished enterprise.
The first SSD just died and never worked again. Unacceptable from Patriot. Better to get KIOXIA.
Purchased for around 80 something euros. 6-7 months ago. The use is simply for storage. For general use, it's okay. Just anyone who wants to transfer large files should keep in mind that the drive "chokes after 2-3 minutes of continuous transfer. While it transfers at 350 - 450 mb/s, it drops to 45-50.
Exactly the same problem as another user who left a review! I started to have BSOD, freezes, and crashes, and I was looking to see what was causing it! Looking at the Task Manager, 100% disk usage! Without doing anything! I deleted everything inside because it wouldn't let me format, it told me it was being used by another program or I didn't have permissions!!! (I found and changed the permissions on 2 folders that were owned by TrustedInstaller). What I noticed, however, is that: If you exceed 50% of the capacity, the write speed drops drastically! What do I mean? Below are images!
19% disk usage 555mb/s READ, 541.2mb/s WRITE
68% disk usage 463.4mb/s READ 59.14mb/s WRITE
I wish they would release some update to fix this mess!!! Now you ask me if I recommend it? Of course not! Imagine having a 1gb line, wanting to download games, and getting "bottlenecked" by your hard drive because it doesn't have the speed for writing!!! TRAGIC
Although it reaches the promised speeds and is spherical, it randomly freezes activities 100% and everything running from the disk freezes at the same time without transferring anything! I open the task manager, I see the disk at 100% activity and response time through the roof, transfer below at zero... it just gets stuck for no reason!
I tried to find a firmware to solve the issue, but there is nothing, no software from Patriot, and I only found a message board where nobody has answered me anything.
I will try to return it, but besides the random freezes, it works fine. I don't know how I could prove that it has a problem.
What was I thinking when I spent my money on this thing? I've been using Samsung and Crucial for so many years and I'm perfectly fine...
Edit 5-4-2024: After finally managing to contact support, they told me that there is no firmware or software available for disk management. They even referred me to download third-party software from a somewhat suspicious company with questionable software quality tools, which also spammed me with unrelated things that I never chose to receive in informational emails.
Furthermore, this software does nothing more than clearing the disk cache (the known TRIM) that the Windows disk defragmenter already does.
When I do this trim from the disk defragmenter, the problem minimizes, but it still remains.
At least it's a storage disk and not my main one, so it doesn't cause any issues in system usage, unless I decide to play a game and it starts acting up...
Anyway, I didn't recommend it and I generally hadn't ruled out the possibility of trying other products from the company, but now after the "support" I received, it has definitely negatively affected my overall opinion of the Patriot brand.
Edit 17-5-2024: To eliminate the Windows factor, I tried different cables and ports on the motherboard and any tricks I came across on the internet regarding energy-saving settings, BIOS settings, etc. I even formatted my computer, but the problem remains. As I was searching for a solution, I realized that this is a common issue with cheap SSDs of this category. I won't make the same mistake again.
Well, as soon as I received it, I put it in my main system to do the measurements it promises! Then I put it in an old laptop and installed Windows 8.1 on it, and it runs perfectly, opening Windows in about 15-17 seconds and running generally smoother than when it had an HDD! The temperatures are normal and it is 100% healthy! As for durability, time will tell! VFM (Value For Money) product!!!! I highly recommend it!! I will come back in the future for any changes
I searched a lot because I wanted a budget PC around 900€ and I didn't want to exceed that amount. I found this hard drive, I don't think there is anything better for the money. Then you can go for an M.2 which is much faster for about 10€ more. I bought a SATA III and an M.2 and I am satisfied with both. I would recommend removing the sticker for a cleaner look.
I bought it for 20 euros for my laptop (big mistake). I installed my operating system three times and it kept crashing my files. I returned it and they told me it had 92% health and refused to replace it until the next day when it finally died... (I won't mention the store) and the second one they gave me had even worse speeds than an HDD in random read/write, especially when doing updates. I didn't have any problems with other Patriot series, but this particular model is garbage. EDIT: 10 months later, the replacement they gave me is still alive but I don't use it because of its poor speed in mixed IO. It hasn't even reached 200GB, it's just sitting unused on the side.
I use it as a USB SSD for retropie image on a raspberry pi 4 in a usb3 enclosure. The biggest problem is the unstable speed in reading and writing. It starts at 200MB/s and drops below 50MB/s after about ten minutes. Compared to Kingston, it seems to have inferior implementation. I wouldn't buy it for use with my computer's operating system and critical data.
Update (02-05-2023): As the disk approaches its capacity limits, it experiences significant delays or completely freezes, especially when transferring large files > 200MB. It doesn't inspire confidence at all.
I bought it today, the speeds seem to be amazing, the only flaw I noticed is the temperatures. I have a kiston, and it has better temperatures as you can see in the picture...
For those looking for a simple SSD to install games and various large programs, this is the obvious choice due to its cost of 0.05€/GB. I have been using Patriot drives for 6 years daily and have never had a problem with any of them. If you are looking for the maximum possible speed, you won't find it here. You should look into m.2 or much more expensive SATA drives. I have also installed the operating system on it and everything works perfectly.
It is quite commendable for the 2TB and in my opinion the cheapest one available. I got it as my main SSD. Important for those who have upgraded to Windows 11 and are experiencing lag/slow performance issues like I did:
1 - I noticed that my BIOS had updates for Windows 11, so make sure you have installed them (google your motherboard).
2 - Through services (services.msc), I disabled some that were constantly running and affecting the SSD:
-SysMain
-Connected User Experiences and Telemetry
-Connected Devices Platform Service
-I ran the first optimization for the SSD and unchecked the schedule to do it periodically.
3 - Enjoy your lag-free Windows 11 (update 22H2)
---UPDATE 01/03/2023
I had issues with transferring 8GB files+ to the point where speeds reached 2MB/s, reminiscent of the 2004 era. Eventually, I realized it was the disk's fault and it was causing some random freezes, not the Windows. I don't know if it was my specific disk or the entire batch.
They eventually replaced it for me, but I haven't installed it yet and I don't plan to. The new one will probably be sold, as I bought a Samsung NVMe and I'm now at ease.
The steps I mentioned above are helpful for better Windows optimization, so I won't delete them.
The hard disk is mm will joy and in the speeds in the have fixed 5 laptops and them have resurrection is matter the why use it you want is an economical disk I who work and djε helped
I put it on an iMac mid 2011 and I had many problems! The computer became slower than my mom's, which wasn't an SSD. I thought the computer had given up as time went by, it was getting worse and worse, and I was ready to buy another iMac but 2000 euros is a lot of money, so I decided to get another hard drive in case that was the problem. And indeed, I installed a Samsung 870 EVO and the difference was huge. The computer opened instantly and the applications and everything! Stay away from that drive, give something more and get something else!
Perhaps the most useless thing that exists in an SSD.
Within a year, I have changed two, luckily there is a warranty, otherwise I would cry for the money I spent...
I give one star because there is no option to not give any at all!!!
I have had it for exactly 2 years on an I5-750 P7H55 CHIPSET with AHCI MODE, it has written "TBW" 18TB and still works perfectly on a WIN 7 64BIT MUSIC WORKSTATION! 27 SEC BOOTING TIME and it opens CHROME with 30% free space. Temperature ranges from 43 MAX to 19 IDLE. Unfortunately, it is a SATA II system, so it usually reaches 270MB/S READ and 250MB/S WRITE out of the 300MB/S of SATA II. It requires some searching to activate TRIM. Honest for its price.
In a desperate attempt to save my 12-year-old HP laptop (intel core2duo/4 gb RAM), my technician installed this specific SSD as an economical solution. It feels like I bought a new computer. So far, it doesn't freeze during home use, boots up quickly, and I am satisfied with the small amount of money I spent. I will come back for reliability and long-term performance.
2. Two years of use update:
It still works perfectly for home use, such as browsing, streaming services, and Office applications. I don't play games or run heavy programs on this computer, so I can't provide an opinion on that aspect. However, it has been a good solution to avoid throwing it away and have it for simple tasks.
I didn't expect it to be so bad.
I installed Linux & Windows operating systems and I thought it would fly on an old PC.
I had to remove it to install 90GB of games to save on downloading.
The write speed ranged from 10 to 200 MB/s on all (87) 1GB files.
I might be the unlucky one, but now that it happened to me, I sat down and read the 1-3 star reviews that exist.
