IDENTIFICATION: Match the full SKU PBE480GS25SSDR, capacity, and label/revision before service or replacement. This is a consumer 2.5-inch SATA drive, not an enterprise model or an NVMe device.

Specifications & compatibility

Manufacturer / model / SKUPatriot Burst Elite // PBE480GS25SSDR
Capacity480 GB nominal model capacity.
Form factor / interface2.5-inch, 7 mm height; SATA III 6 Gb/s.
NAND3D NAND; component-level reports identify TLC, but controller/NAND substitutions can occur across batches.
Rated sequential performanceUp to 450 MB/s sequential read and 320 MB/s sequential write. These are published peak figures, not a guarantee of sustained writes or every host workload.
Endurance400 TBW rating listed for the 480 GB model by the independent model database; confirm the product revision and current warranty terms. TBW is a rated-write limit, not a prediction of an individual drive's service life.
Host compatibilityConnects through standard 2.5-inch SATA data/power connectors. Works at the negotiated speed on compatible SATA hosts; check the laptop caddy height, system BIOS mode, and OS TRIM support before installation.
TRIM / SMART / firmwareUse the host OS, SATA controller, and firmware tools supported for this exact model/revision. TRIM and SMART pass-through depend on the OS driver, controller mode, enclosure, and bridge; check vendor documentation before firmware changes.

Preservation & maintenance

  • Record the label, exact SKU, serial, firmware, host/controller, and a read-only SMART snapshot before migrating or changing settings.
  • Keep independent, verified backups. A TBW rating, SMART indicator, warranty, or wear estimate is not a guarantee of data retention or remaining life.
  • Use the manufacturer's exact-model guidance for firmware, secure erase, encryption, diagnostics, and warranty; preserve the original label and firmware state.
  • Do not assume identical NAND or controller internals across production batches unless the manufacturer identifies the revision.
