The Patriot's Burst Elite is an extension of the Burst, the 2.5" SATA III Solid State Drive, supported by the latest SATA controller that can use both TLC and QLC NAND.
The latest addition to the Burst family is the perfect way to enhance your computer's performance. A SATA III 6Gb/s interface that is compatible with SATA II 3GB/s. This SSD provides greater performance compared to traditional hard drives.
Specifications are collected from official manufacturer websites. Please verify the specifications before proceeding with your final purchase. If you notice any problem you can report it here.
This particular SSD came randomly installed in a refurbished laptop with decent specifications (i5, 8GB RAM). I opened the laptop to apply new thermal paste to the CPU and now I am evaluating it since it is the first Patriot hard drive I have owned.
It is an SSD with very good performance compared to old mechanical HDDs, as expected. However, compared to expensive and higher-quality SSDs, it has lower performance (especially in small and random files) and reliability, specifically in terms of TBW (TLC or possibly QLC at 50TBW). In SSDs, TLC memory technology is cheaper and less durable, MLC is more expensive, faster, and more durable, and 3D NAND is cheaper, faster, and offers a balance between TLC and MLC reliability, while SLC is very expensive, very fast, and highly durable, among others.
Of course, for basic use in an old computer that had an HDD, it is a significant upgrade in terms of boot speed and overall user experience, at a low cost (around €10). It seems to be a cost-effective value for money purchase.
Let's analyze it in detail:
- Many people report having issues with this specific SSD, and from what I understand, it may be due to certain Phison controllers or faulty batches, which are more likely to occur in this low price range.
Mine has the Silicon Motion SM2259XT 28nm controller, 32-bit 1 core @ 437 MHz (in this price range, it is logical that it does not have a DRAM buffer or uniform write management across all NAND cells, which the more expensive SSDs have for longevity). However, it does have a type of pseudo-SLC memory of 32MB with smart algorithms that perform the aforementioned process in combination with the computer's main RAM. The SM2259XT controller is commonly used in other low-end SSDs, even in the cheap 960GB models.
- In terms of endurance (TBW), the manufacturer promises 50 TBW with TLC or QLC technology (in the worst case scenario). It would be perfect if it reaches half of that, considering that I have a Samsung 840 Pro 128GB in another system that has been intensively used for 9 years, with 42.37 TBW so far and a limit of 73 TBW with MLC technology. It has started to freeze and has 84% health. How reliable it is will be determined over time, as it currently stands at 0.57 TBW and 100% health.
- In terms of speed, it performs very well. Of course, there is a drop in performance in small and random files, which is expected. In recent tests, the inexpensive Patriot SSD surpassed the 9-year-old worn-out Samsung 840 Pro by approximately 100 MB/s in SEQ1M Q8T1 and Q1T1 tests, while in random and small file (RND) tests, the 840 Pro outperformed it by 20 MB/s due to its DRAM and 3-core controller.
With the SATA III interface, which has a limit of 600 MB/s, you can have a comfortable and fast experience in the operating system and everyday applications, as well as faster loading times in game setups compared to SATA HDDs. If you have laptops or PCs with M.2 NVME interfaces, it is recommended to choose NVME SSDs, as the M.2 NVME interface reaches speeds in the range of GB/s, and you will see a significant difference, especially in processing large 4K video files that run from an NVME drive, as well as in terms of cable management, as there are no cables involved.

We used them in our service a year ago. We thought they were reliable, but they all really returned.... all of them after 6-12 months of operation. The Phison controller is unreliable and generally those SSDs that have this controller have a problem.
He has worked for over 15,000 hours, and has a 98% life.
Generally, these discs are a jackpot. Some last much longer than famous ones.
Whatever is the worst thing circulating, stay away! The first one I got in the week (!!!) crashed. They replaced it and now, 2 months later, crashes, hang ups, and freezes every now and then (tested on two setups). Garbage, not even suitable for occasional backups.
Let's start with the basics.
It costs less than 30€ for 480gb.
Personally, I got it to replace a storage hard drive that had tens of thousands of bad sectors.
I did the job with cloning. Maybe 40-45 minutes, maybe just under an hour. Somewhere around there.
When I held the SSD in my hands, I thought it was a piece of plastic. Very lightweight.
It finds files instantly.
It does its job and more.
There are better SSDs, of course. But it's unfair to compare SSDs that cost 100€ with those under 30€.
Anyone who wants a top-notch SSD knows how much they cost and which ones are the best.
For an upgrade from old spinning parts, it's value for money at 30€.
When I bought it (about a year ago), I was a bit skeptical because unlike the Patriot memories, SSDs do not have the best reputation.
In the end, it is fast, economical, and I keep a reserve for its reliability.
After a year, it has dropped 99% and has not presented any problems.
Also, it does not come with any management software...
It is a very good disc... fast but not of such good quality... it is made of mediocre plastic, the screws it tightens are not good because if you force them, they come out VERY EASILY.... its speed in win11 is very good... even more so in other operating systems where I tested it
win8.1 perfect speed
win10 good speed
win11 excessively good speed
I see a lot of nonsense in the reviews so I will add my own. Yes, it is slower than others BUT for its price, it is fine. It is a budget SSD for old PCs and in this field, it is fine. As for its lifespan, it depends on your luck. I had bought a Samsung EVO for 100 euros and it died in 5 months while this one still works correctly. Now the chances of encountering a problem are of course higher than with a more expensive model. As they say, you get what you pay for. So compare the model with other similar models at the same price and not with top-tier models.
Although fake material has been used to create this hard disk (construction, equally poor quality), one positive aspect is that it is an affordable hard disk that does not get stuck with any software I have tried.
It was purchased for around €40 three years ago, not really value for money considering its capacity. Now it is worth only €15-20, mainly for running Windows, Linux, and at worst, iOS :*
Multiple experiences with this specific disk and all led to the same result. After specific recordings on the disk, it bricked. It's not worth even 10 euros the possibility of losing all your files and not being able to reuse the disk again.
Give 5-10 euros more and get a RELIABLE disk
Slower than the previous model, Patriot Burst, the speeds that the diskmark produces are not real, it is 100mb slower than the plain burst, it is not only elite, prefer the p210 faster and more reliable plus 8gb additional capacity. For its price, it is fine though
Personally, I still haven't understood the reason why everyone complains about this specific SSD. Yes, it may be slower compared to some expensive SSDs, but it is worth every penny, 100% without a doubt. The 120GB one costs only 15€ and there are people who say, "Oh, it's not as good as the 45€ Samsung EVO, etc." It is a budget SSD, a budget option for upgrading a mechanical hard drive. It's like day and night in that case. If you are bothered by the "slower" SSDs, then get the 50€ drive, while Patriot offers the exact same thing for just 20€, just a bit slower
Purchase on 30-12-2020 and installation on laptop on 08. Used lightly to moderately for office work and browsing.
Stopped working without any notification. Cheap, but. Had an OCZ for 6 years, a Patriot for one. Also, on my son's 6-year-old computer that he uses all day for writing and deleting, he has an Intenso SSD of one kilo and it still holds up.
SSD only for OS now. Trust a conventional disk for DATA, And always BACKUP x3.
We used it in a build that you can see here: https://youtu.be/5QS8_6qnwOQ
We have used it in the past and have no complaints. The new one, with only the windows inside, reaches its nominal speeds.
However, after so many years, we would like it to be replaced in the same price range by its 250GB brother, as 120GB is relatively small and you need to manage your files properly to avoid filling it up.
As for reliability, only time will tell, but we have some that have been working flawlessly for 2-3 years.
Patriot Burst Elite SSD 960GB
400 TBW endurance (according to the manufacturer)
Intel QLC NAND
SM2259XT without DRAM cache (while SM2259 has DRAM cache, SM2259XT does not)
After testing:
In an old PC with Z97 motherboard, the Patriot Burst Elite SSD 960GB has a problem. It shows many errors, "ultradma crc error count," in HD Sentinel. I tried different SATA cables, power supplies, SATA ports, and even a PCIe SATAIII card (with ASMEDIA chip), but it still had errors. In the same PC and with the same cables, other HDD/SSD drives work perfectly.
In a newer PC with B450, the Patriot Burst Elite SSD 960GB works without errors, without any issues.
It is considerably slower compared to the Samsung 860 EVO, Crucial MX500, or WD Blue 3D SSD.
It is not an extension of the regular Burst. They should have used the SMI2259 controller with DRAM cache, then it might have been faster.
When writing a large volume of files, it becomes very slow and sluggish.
While initially, when copying files, the speed was around 400MB/sec (with fluctuations), when you write around 400-500 GB of data on the drive, it becomes sluggish and the write speed drops to as low as 17 to 18 MB/sec.
Prefer another SSD.
In 10 months it gave up. Unfortunately, I hadn't taken a backup of the laptop. Kingston, Samsung, WD. Nothing else...
I don't know why you have a problem. I have had it for 2 hours and I saw a great change from a better mechanical installation to faster speed, although I will see with time, but for now, it works perfectly in all aspects.
I put two stars because the patriot does not tell us what controller it has, only that it is the latest. It also tells us that this controller supports tcl and qlc nand, which makes me wonder what nand it uses. There is no more information on the patriot's website.
I will give it 4 stars because it gave me a blue screen even though I think I am responsible for it, but I have to say that it is a very good SSD!
In 2 years of very mild use, it broke down.

Excellent value for money, he installed an old laptop which he revived.
A great SSD for the price, a good and budget SSD disk
2 hard drives in 2 computers. I held them in my hand.
