It is fast, loads programs well and has completely revitalized this laptop. Prior to installation this PC laptop was hard to boot and when it did was extremely slow. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheaper than other brands, have been reliable over time *by B***T on July 26, 2026* These work fine and have been reliable over time; cheaper than other big-name brands ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Totally failed after only a year. (Edit: new info) *by C***E on June 11, 2026* I bought this as a small, cheap, low power boot drive for a beige-box GNU/Linux server. It did the only thing that is unforgivable for that application, it totally failed after a little over a year's worth of use. I get that it was only $30, but still.... like... I wouldn't have cared if it was smaller or slower, but just quitting like it did. TF? Not cool. Edit: So... It is now being revealed that there is a bug in systemd-journald that writes some 10x more data to the drive than what should be expected or reasonable. The REALLY cool part is it could have been fixed some 6 years ago, but the dev(s) was/were/are super toxic and hostile to the person reporting it. Debian 13 (among other distros) has systemd-journald log's storage set to persistent by default... that's what exposed the bug and killed my SSD. So... my bad I guess Patriot. ## Frequently Bought Together - Patriot Memory Burst Elite SATA 3 480GB SSD 2.5 Inch Solid State Drive - Patriot Memory Burst Elite SATA 3 240GB SSD 2.5" - 10 Pack - Patriot P210 1TB Internal SSD - SATA 3 2.5" - Solid State Drive - P210S1TB25 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/277263194-patriot-burst-elite-480gb-sata-3-2-5-inch-ssd](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/277263194-patriot-burst-elite-480gb-sata-3-2-5-inch-ssd) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
