Unlike the more versatile NVMe drives for enthusiasts and gamers, the Patriot Signature line is predominantly old-school SSDs, connected via the ubiquitous SATA bus found in both modern gaming PCs and older laptops. The main charm of the Burst series lies in the combination of high quality control and affordable prices - these are, without a doubt, one of the most affordable SSDs on the market. Needless to say, the price is a great motivator for buying, especially in the low-cost segment.


Burst series drives are based on 3D TLC NAND memory and belong to the 2.5 form factor. Despite the dominance of M.2 drives, this is still the most common form factor that is widely used in computers and laptops. Speed indicators are limited to traditional for this class 500 – 550 MB / s for linear read and write operations. At the same time, the IOPS numbers, which mean the speed of the drive when working with numerous small files, in Burst drives exceed many other low-cost solutions.

All Burst models come with a standard 3-year warranty, which, combined with a decent warranty life (425 TBW for the 1TB model), makes for a good warranty for a brighter future. Due to their reliability, predictability and low cost, Patriot Burst drives regularly flicker in various SATA SSD tops and low-cost hard drive replacement SSDs.
