Junk

It's a gen3 drive with gen4 interface. Basically the Lite version. Has to be for that cheap.

Buy WD, Samsung, Crucial, TeamGroup; SK-Hynix
something you can rely on for 5+ years.

[Bryan999]

ok thanks

Nothing wrong with patriot and for gaming it's not going to be any slower in the real world than even a gen 5 drive as its the random read times that matter not the crazy high sequential reads they advertise.

Everywhere you look online people receiver the LITE version of that dive when it's like $99 and lower. Not worth it.

For $129 you can get a proper Gen4 drive @ 5000MB/s or better with good warranty and TBW

That sequential speeds not random, so has no notable impact on gaming /load time performance and is nearly double the price.

I would rather buy Lexar. Patriot switched from YMTC TLC on 4TB VP4300 Lite YMTC QLC.

The P410 is most likely some chinese stuff too like the Apacer drives.

I'm not saying it's the best option, but, it's not 'bad' and you don't need to spend double like mother suggested.

It's cheap and will do the job is all.

Patriot is just bottom of the barrel mostly nowa days; down there with ADATA and Silicon-Power

Pay for something with a 5+ year warranty + very good TBW. A brand that has your back. It IS worth it. The cheap drives, that's for Mom's laptop or something; not a Work/Gaming PC

[Bryan999]

thanks for the replies, its sold out now anyways.

dont know why this guy keeps asking questions about pc hardware on Steam
when members on Reddit usually give way better answers...


and of course nobody bothered to tell him about Kingston KC series ssds
with the KC2500 being close to Samsung 970EVO while the KC3000 is very close to Samsung 980Pro
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/kingston-kc3000-m2-ssd-review/3
according to that review the Kingston is actually better than Samsung 980Pro
I have both Kingston KC and Samsung and I can't really tell the difference at all when it comes to performance

Depends what you want to use it for.

For an os drive i buy better drives from samsung. For game storage i buy cheaper, slower drives with highest capacity because if it fails nothing is lost, games can be redownloaded.

[Bryan999]

thanks will have a look at the kc3000

[Bad 💀 Motha]

The CRUCIAL P series Gen4 are probably the best bang for buck right now.

But at this point, Black November sales will be hitting soon enough.
