Mid-tier Gen3 NVMe that leaves any SATA drive standing.
The Patriot P300 512GB is an M.2 2280 NVMe drive on PCIe Gen3 x4 running NVMe 1.3, rated at up to 1,700 MB/s read and 1,100 MB/s write. Against the roughly 550 MB/s ceiling of a SATA drive that is a genuine step change, and it is the upgrade that makes an older machine with a spare M.2 slot feel current.
It is a compact stick with low power draw — 2.07W under full load and 0.37W idle — which helps laptop battery life rather than hurting it. At 512GB it works well as an entry build's main drive or as the fast operating system drive alongside bulk storage.
Key Features
- PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3: up to 1,700 MB/s read and 1,100 MB/s write, on a current Gen3 x4 controller rather than a narrower x2 part.
- Strong random figures: up to 290K IOPS 4K random read and 260K IOPS random write — the numbers behind how quickly the system responds.
- M.2 2280 form factor: the standard 80mm M.2 stick, one screw to fit. Check your system's M.2 slot length, keying and PCIe generation before ordering.
- HMB technology: host memory buffer support, which lets the drive borrow a small slice of system RAM for its mapping tables.
- NANDXtend ECC: error correction plus end-to-end data path protection for data integrity over the life of the drive.
- Wear levelling and thermal management: advanced wear levelling spreads writes across the flash, and thermal management keeps it in its window under load.
- Low power draw: 2.07W at full load, 0.37W idle, at just 9g.

What's in the Box

Questions
Before you buy
Will this drive fit my motherboard?
It connects over NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 in the M.2 2280 form factor. Check that your board has a free slot of that type - an M.2 drive needs an M.2 socket of the right length, a SATA drive needs a SATA port and a power lead from the supply. A drive will still work in a slower slot than it is rated for, it just will not reach its full speed.
How much will actually fit on it?
It is a 512GB drive. Formatted capacity always reads a little lower than the number on the box because drive makers count in decimal gigabytes and Windows reports binary ones - that is normal and not a fault. Leaving roughly ten percent free also helps an SSD hold its write speed over time.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
