here are just a few reviews 

" died after just two weeks, booted laptop to find drive not recognized, removed it and it wasn't detected in a different PC. RMA'd for a refund"

" I had my Blast 480 for about three weeks before it died"

" My SSD stopped working within a month, I RMA'd it and the replacement broke with in a month as well. "

"  Died a little over 2 months from install. Installed in the first days of January 2016, it died last night. No warning, PC locked up, on reboot the drive was no longer detected. Slaved to different system and it would not show up. Installed and ran Patriot's SSD Utility from their website. "No Supported Drives Found." Bye bye data.
Not happy at all, especially because I specifically chose Patriot for their good reputation with memory. Thankfully I run backups but now I'm out an SSD. "

Not if it's anything like their 120GB version. It didn't die on me in two weeks, but it did slow down to being no better than a 7200 RPM HDD within a couple of months.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

adatas a bit better but do you really need thee 1 tb of ssd storage i would recommend going with a 500gb Samsung 850 evo or pro then a 1 to 5 tb (depending on your needs) wd black hdd

Remembering that the people with something negative to say are the ones who voice their opinion the most. Don't just look at the reviews if possible, look at the number of negative reviews to the overall number of people who bought the product.

I like my 1tb Samsung Evo 840s.

 

I wouldn't get any other brand now because their Samsung Magician tool is amazing and free for SSD maintenance. 

Linus is my fetish.

Even worse. The Trion 150 sounds pretty solid, though.
