The Patriot P300 P300P2TBM28 is a 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD for desktop and laptop users seeking faster startup, application loading, and file transfers on systems that support PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe drives; it offers sequential speeds up to 2,100 MB/s read and 1,650 MB/s write.
Recommended For
- Budget-conscious PC upgraders replacing a hard drive or older SATA SSD who mainly want quicker operating-system startup, app launches, and everyday file access.
- Desktop users who want a 2TB NVMe drive for a mix of frequently opened apps and files, but do not regularly write very large amounts of data at once.
- Value-focused builders using a compatible M.2 NVMe slot who want a compact, single-sided PCIe Gen3 drive for routine desktop or laptop storage rather than top-tier performance.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- Replacing a hard drive as the Windows and applications drive: the P300 can make startup and everyday app launches feel more responsive than an HDD, though the result depends on the rest of the system.
- Adding room for a PC game library: the 2TB capacity lets users keep more games installed, with SSD-based loading rather than loading those games from a hard drive; it does not increase in-game frame rates.
- Expanding a compatible laptop's storage: installing the single-sided M.2 drive can add space for apps and files without occupying a larger 2.5-inch drive bay, provided the laptop supports an M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSD.
- Using a desktop's spare M.2 slot as a secondary drive: the P300 can hold games, project files, and everyday documents separately from the operating-system drive, subject to motherboard slot and capacity support.
- Copying ordinary files or moving a game folder: the drive can make routine transfers feel quicker than using an HDD, but it is an entry-level DRAMless SSD, so it is not the best fit for frequent, sustained large write workloads.

Reference Q&A
Q: Patriot P300 2TB or WD Blue SN570 2TB—which should I choose?
A: Choose the Patriot P300 when its price is lower and its rated speeds meet your needs. Choose the WD Blue SN570 if you prioritize higher advertised sequential performance: up to 3,500 MB/s read and write for the 2TB SN570, compared with up to 2,100 MB/s read and 1,650 MB/s write for the P300. Both are M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe drives.
Q: Patriot P300 2TB or Crucial P3 2TB for faster file transfers?
A: The Crucial P3 2TB has higher advertised sequential speeds—up to 3,500 MB/s read and 3,000 MB/s write—than the P300’s rated 2,100 MB/s read and 1,650 MB/s write. Choose the P3 if those rated speeds are a priority; choose the P300 if its lower stated speeds are sufficient and it is the better-priced option. Tom’s Hardware identifies the P3 as a DRAM-less, QLC drive, a consideration for workloads involving large sustained writes.
Q: Is the Patriot P300 2TB worth choosing over the 1TB version?
A: Choose the 2TB P300 when you want more room for games, applications, and files without changing the drive’s advertised sequential speed tier. Tom’s Hardware lists the 1TB and 2TB versions at the same rated sequential speeds: up to 2,100 MB/s read and 1,650 MB/s write. The 1TB model is the capacity-focused choice when it provides enough space and costs less.
Q: Should I get the Patriot P300 or a SATA SSD for a PC upgrade?
A: Choose the P300 if your computer has an M.2 slot that supports PCIe NVMe and you want an internal 2TB drive with higher rated sequential speeds than a SATA SSD can provide. Choose a SATA SSD if your system lacks a compatible NVMe M.2 slot or requires a SATA drive. Check the computer or motherboard specifications before buying, because an M.2 connector alone does not guarantee NVMe compatibility.
Q: Will this SSD work in my laptop or desktop?
A: It can work in a laptop or desktop with an available M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe NVMe. Check the computer’s manual for slot type, supported capacity, and clearance before buying; an M.2 SATA-only slot is not sufficient.
Q: Does the SSD include a heatsink?
A: No. The Patriot P300 is listed without a heatsink. If the computer has an M.2 heatsink, check its manual for installation guidance; otherwise, consider whether the system’s cooling setup is suitable for your workload.
Q: Is this a good choice for everyday computing and game storage?
A: It is a 2TB consumer NVMe SSD with listed sequential speeds up to 2,100 MB/s read and 1,650 MB/s write, making it suitable for everyday applications, system storage, and game libraries on a compatible computer. Its PCIe Gen3 interface and listed speeds may be a limitation for buyers seeking higher transfer rates.
Q: Can I use it as a replacement boot drive?
A: Yes, if the computer supports an M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSD and its firmware can boot from that slot. The drive uses HMB and has no DRAM cache; plan to install or migrate the operating system and verify the computer’s compatibility before replacing an existing drive.
Q: Will the Patriot P300 work in a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot?
A: It should work if the slot supports M.2 NVMe drives. The P300 is a PCIe Gen3 x4 drive, so in a PCIe 4.0 slot it will operate at Gen3 speeds; check the motherboard manual to confirm the slot supports NVMe.
Q: Is the Patriot P300 2TB a reasonable choice for games and general storage?
A: It can suit a budget-oriented game library or general storage if the system has a compatible M.2 NVMe slot. Its rated sequential speeds are up to 2100 MB/s read and 1650 MB/s write; it is a DRAM-less Gen3 drive, so consider a faster model for workloads where sustained transfer performance is a priority.
Q: Can the Patriot P300 be used as a Windows boot drive?
A: Yes, provided the computer supports booting from an M.2 NVMe drive. The P300 is an NVMe SSD, and its rated speeds are up to 2100 MB/s read and 1650 MB/s write. The 2TB capacity also leaves room for applications and files alongside the operating system.
Q: Is it worth choosing the P300 over a faster or DRAM-equipped SSD?
A: The P300 may suit buyers prioritizing 2TB capacity and basic NVMe storage over higher peak performance. It has no onboard DRAM and is rated up to 2100 MB/s read and 1650 MB/s write, so compare price and workload needs before choosing it over a faster drive for frequent, sustained transfers.
