SSD Disk Patriot P400 V4 500GB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 NVMe - P400VP500GM28H

The Patriot P400 V4 500GB is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD in M.2 2280 form factor, aimed at mid-range gaming and fast daily use. You get a solid balance between a capacity of 500GB, high speeds up to 5000 MB/s read and 3000 MB/s write, plus the current NVMe 2.0 standard. The model is optimized for both PC and PlayStation 5, coming with a thin graphene heatshield for better temperature control. The 60-month warranty provides peace of mind for long-term use.

What you get – a fast PCIe Gen4x4 SSD with 3D NAND TLC memory and a DRAM-less design with Host Memory Buffer (HMB), which reduces latency by using part of the system RAM. In real-world use, this means faster loading of games, applications, and OS, as well as much smoother copying of large files compared to SATA SSD or HDD. The declared TBW 160 TB is fully sufficient for years of daily use in a gaming machine or work laptop/desktop. SmartECC and Thermal Throttling technologies help preserve data and stable operation, even under higher loads. The thin graphene heat spreader helps the SSD maintain lower temperatures in compact configurations and consoles.

• The PCIe Gen4x4 / PCIe NVMe 4.0 interface provides significantly higher performance compared to SATA or PCIe 3.0 solutions on a compatible platform.
• The 500GB capacity is practical for a system drive plus a few large games or basic work projects.
• Speeds up to 5000 MB/s read and 3000 MB/s write provide noticeably faster loading of games, applications, and OS.
• Compatibility with PlayStation 5 and PS5 sequential read speed up to 6000 MB/s makes it a convenient upgrade for additional game storage.
• The DRAM-less design with Host Memory Buffer (HMB) reduces cost and power consumption without completely sacrificing performance for daily tasks.
• SmartECC and Thermal Throttling Technology enhance reliability by protecting data and preventing the SSD from overheating under load.
• The thin graphene heatshield and compact dimensions 80 x 22 x 3.8 mm facilitate installation in tight cases, laptops, and consoles.
• TBW 160 TB and 60-month warranty provide good durability for daily gaming, office, and home-setup.

Who is it suitable for – if you are looking for a fast, modern NVMe 4.0 SSD for a gaming PC or as an upgrade for a PlayStation 5, this model is a logical choice. It is also suitable for work machines where you want a much smoother system compared to HDD or an older SSD, but do not need huge capacity. It is not the best option if you are chasing a professional level for 4K video editing with huge archives – there you would rather want larger capacity.

The combination of PCIe 4.0 speeds, 3D NAND TLC, HMB, and optimization for PC and PS5 makes the Patriot P400 V4 500GB a very sensible upgrade to speed up your system without overstretching the budget.
