Overview
The Patriot P320 is a 512GB M.2 2280 SSD on a PCIe Gen3x4, NVMe 1.3 interface, rated for sequential reads up to 3000MB/s and writes up to 2200MB/s.
Patriot lists the read and write figures straight from CrystalDiskMark testing rather than a vaguer marketing number, which at least gives a specific benchmark context. The listing names Windows as the supported OS, so buyers on Linux or another system should confirm compatibility before relying on Patriot's own driver or toolbox software.

- PCIe Gen3x4, NVMe 1.3
- Read up to 3000MB/s, write up to 2200MB/s
- Windows supported
Who it's for
Suits a Windows desktop or laptop upgrade where 512GB and Gen3 NVMe speeds are enough, such as a boot drive or general storage swap. Not the pick for anyone who specifically needs confirmed cross-platform support or Gen4-level speeds for heavier workloads.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Sequential read up to 3000MB/s, write up to 2200MB/s
- NVMe 1.3 on a Gen3x4 interface
- 512GB capacity for a boot drive or general storage
- Windows listed as the supported OS, no confirmed Linux or Mac support
- Gen3 speeds, not Gen4
Performance notes
Sequential reads up to 3000MB/s and writes up to 2200MB/s on NVMe 1.3 put this comfortably ahead of SATA SSDs for tasks like OS boot, game load times, and general file access. As a Gen3x4 drive it will not match newer Gen4 or Gen5 parts, but for a 512GB boot or storage drive the numbers line up with what a Gen3 controller can deliver.
