Slim Specs Table

Ultra-Fast PCIe Gen 3 x4 Performance

The Patriot P300 uses a PCIe Gen 3 x4 interface to maximise data throughput. With sequential read speeds up to 1700 MB/s, it significantly reduces boot times and application loading. This makes it ideal for everyday computing, light gaming, and creative workloads where responsiveness matters.

Compact M.2 2280 Design for Space-Saving Builds

Measuring just 22 mm wide and 80 mm long, the M.2 2280 form factor fits directly onto compatible motherboards without cables. Its slim profile suits small form factor PCs, laptops, and ultrabooks where space is limited. At only 9 g, it adds minimal weight to portable systems.

NVMe 1.3 with SMI Controller for Reliable Operation

Powered by an SMI2263XT controller and NVMe 1.3 support, the P300 ensures efficient command processing and low latency. NVMe protocol reduces CPU overhead compared to SATA, freeing system resources for other tasks. This combination provides consistent performance under typical workloads.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

Designed to operate between 0 °C and 70 °C, the P300 handles typical desktop and laptop thermal conditions without throttling. This range suits both home and office environments where ambient temperatures vary. Always ensure adequate cooling in confined builds.
