Patriot P210 2.5" 256GB SATA III SSD

The Patriot P210 is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive with 256GB capacity. It uses a SATA III 6Gb/s interface and TLC memory to deliver sequential reads up to 500 MBps and writes up to 400 MBps. The 7mm height suits standard laptop and desktop bays.

Everyday upgrade for SATA systems

This drive fits users who need a cost-effective boost to boot times and application loading on a SATA-based laptop or desktop. It supports TRIM and S.M.A.R.T. for health monitoring. Builders who require an M.2 form factor or a PCIe interface should look elsewhere.

SATA III 6Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides fit is the SATA III 6Gb/s connection, which is backwards compatible with SATA II. The controller delivers 4KB random reads up to 50,000 IOPS and writes up to 30,000 IOPS. Verify that your system has a free 2.5-inch SATA port before purchase.

Questions about this item

What comes inside the Patriot P210 256GB box and do I need extra cables?

The box contains the 2.5 inch 256GB drive only; a SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from your power supply are required separately.

The P210 line goes up to 2TB — why choose the 256GB version?

Choose 256GB when you need a low-cost boot drive for Windows 7 through 10 or a compact secondary volume for everyday files.

The spec lists 500 MBps sequential read — what does that feel like on a real PC?

Expect Windows to reach the desktop in seconds and large applications to open noticeably faster than on a mechanical hard drive.
