Gen4 NVMe with a graphene heatshield instead of a bulky heatsink.
The Patriot P400 Lite is a 500GB PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe drive in the M.2 2280 form factor. It is aimed at people who want Gen4 speed and a long warranty without paying for a flagship drive. 500GB is an entry build capacity: comfortable for Windows, your applications and a handful of games, with a second drive for a larger library.
Key Features
- Up to 3,500MB/s read and 2,400MB/s write: several times what any SATA drive can do, and plenty for gaming and everyday productivity.
- Slim graphene heatshield: a thin thermal layer rather than a thick heatsink, so the drive clears M.2 slots under a graphics card or inside a laptop where a tall heatsink would not fit.
- Thermal Throttling Technology: the drive scales back rather than failing if it gets hot during long transfers.
- 280TB written endurance: a published TBW rating, respectable for this capacity class.
- SmartECC and end-to-end data path protection: error correction and data integrity across the transfer path.
- NVMe 1.4 on PCIe Gen4 x4: and it still runs in a PCIe Gen3 M.2 slot, simply at Gen3 speed.
- Check the slot: confirm your system's M.2 slot length, keying and PCIe generation before ordering.

Questions
Before you buy
Will this drive fit my motherboard?
It connects over NVMe PCIe 4.0 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 500GB 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?
This one is out of stock at the moment. Stock does come back in - WhatsApp us on 079 491 0181 with the model and we will tell you what the supplier is showing and let you know when it lands, rather than leaving you to keep checking the page.
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.
