💾 Patriot Memory Burst 240GB SATA III SSD Internal Solid State Drive 2.5" - Retail Package Bulk 10 Pack Review

I put this in my main laptop and installed FreeBSD on it. Got a bunch of ATA/CAM errors when trying to write to and read from the disk. Tried it on my wife's laptop. The same mistakes. Tried on another laptop I had. The same mistakes. Tried installing OpenBSD on all three machines. Same read/write errors. Tried to install Debian Linux on all three machines. Same read/write errors.
