Is Patriot P300 NVME reliable?

i'm looking for a new drive, for mostly games and random files, since both my sata ssd and HD are in verge of death. I have a very low budget, and this is the best option i could find on my price range, but I'm not sure if its good or not. I saw some people say it's bad because it's QCL, which is slower, but I was using an HD, so I reckon it still would be an upgrade, and I have my OS on a TCL NVME, so I don't have any urge for speed, just need something reliable that can last very long and do its job without just dying ramdomly after 5 days of use.

I have one, it's junk. Not sure if there's something wrong with it or not, but there is times where it slows down to like 2MB/s when loading big files.

Thanks bro I’m shopping for my partner rig always down 580$ for just my DRAM 4TB I can tell she’s needs something better either that or her MB just sucks whatever the case all her downloads are BRUTALLY SLOW compare to mines. I’m looking for some nice storage but the problem is pricing is COOKED

It's an old PCIe 3.0 drive, and somewhat slower compared to other PCIe 3.0 drives, but it does use TLC flash and is reliable.

All the variants seem to use TLC NAND. The endurance rating is not particularly high but it should be fine for an OS/game drive.

On a surface level by all means go for it. If you're techy and read every single detail then i dont know. Average users will not see a difference. Just stay away from Silicon Power as i've had countless SSD's die on me
