The Patriot P300 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on February 13th, 2020. It is available in capacities ranging from 128 GB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 128 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Patriot P300 interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5013-E13-31 from Phison, a DRAM cache is not available. Patriot has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the P300, the flash chips are made by Toshiba. Please note that this SSD is sold in multiple variants with different NAND flash or controller, which could affect performance, the "Notes" section at the end of this page has more info. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are soaked up more quickly. The P300 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 1,600 MB/s and 600 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 290K for reads and 150K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 35 USD. The warranty length is set to three years, which is above average, but shorter than the five years offered by many other vendors. Patriot guarantees an endurance rating of 40 TBW, a relatively low value compared to other SSDs.

Notes

Drive:

This SSD has different variants across the globe, one of them having a Silicon Motion SM2263XT controller with even different specification such as Sequential and Random speeds.
And might also features IMFT NANDs instead of Toshiba's BiCS3 NANDs.

Controller:

1 main core using Cortex-R5 clocked at 667 MHz with CoXProcessor technology (one additional dual-core) Cortex-R5 clocked at a lower clock for better efficience.

NAND Die:

Read latency:
tR: 64µs (SBL)
