SABRENT 1TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD Maximum Performance Solid State Drive (Latest Version) (SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-1TB).

This SSDt is very fast. Power-on Windows 10 takes only 4 seconds. Amazing. And it is much cheaper than other PCI-e 4.0 SSD when at discount. I bought another one 3 years ago from the same brand but a PCI-e 3.0 SSD. It is still working fine. So I have no doubt of the lifespan.

Me encanta la marca

Pros: Very fast when it works. Cons: When it doesnt work, be prepared for the run around and to send lots of time to the Time Vampires of Sabrent support. The drive was installed in a new system on 25 March 2021 and died with Blue Screen Errors on 10 May 2021. The system would start to slow to a crawl, the HDD light would stay on solid and then the system would blue screen with a WHEA_UNRECOVERABLE_ERROR . The system would reboot and the HDD light would stay on solid. It would then enter the BIOS and the BIOS was no longer able to see the SSD. After powering the system off, the system would appear to boot normally, but as soon as Windows loaded, the cycle would repeat: Bluescreen, restart into BIOS with HDD light on solid, BIOS unable to see the SSD. This same behavior was observed when installing the drive in a different computer. We have restored our backup to a new SSD (PNY M280CS3030) and the system is now functioning normally. On to warranty fiasco: Alfred G., as he goes by via email, or Carey as he introduced himself when calling in on the support number was our support technician. We opened the support ticket via Sabrents website on Monday, May 10th - at 9:46PM, Alfred G. responded on Tuesday, May 11th at 4:42PM and requested more information. We sent three email messages to [email protected] and go no response until Alfred G. sent a message on Thursday May 13th at 9:32AM with a I am following up on this ticket to find out if you still have questions or if you need any further assistance. - either Sabrent is not reading their email, not receiving it, or doesnt care. So, we called their support number and were able to talk with someone who introduced themselves as Carey. Carey later reveals that he is none other than the infamous Alfred G. Alfred G. / Carey says that he hasnt received any of the three messages weve sent to him and we try to send messages to [email protected] and [email protected] but both email accounts arent able to receive messages from our Microsoft email account. Alfred G. / Carey insists that he has to have the information requested via email and refused to take it over the phone. Alfred G. / Carey is trained well to waste your time! So, we asked to speak to a supervisor and Alfred G. / Carey responds that shes probably not available and will require the same information via email that he requested. Round and round we go. Bottom Line: Sabrents 5 year warranty is useless, but not worthless - it can still serve as a bad example. So, do yourself a favor and purchase a product from a manufacturer who honors their warranty. And stay off my lawn!

So far Ive got 4 of these, all 4 the 1tb version, 2 of them with the cooler and 2 of them without. The with are being used in my main workstation as a main and backup OS drive, and have performed splendidly for the past couple of years. The other 2 I recently got for tiering for my NAS--which were installed on a PCIE card with an integrated cooler so didnt need the cooling unit. So far they are working well in that role. The drive has been robust and aside from the occasional hiccups from poorly optimized resource-hog games (which might not even be this drives fault), they have ran like a champ. I would highly recommend.

Most recent Update: I got a new ssd from the RMA. Once the RMA was approved the return went normally. Original review: The ssd started dying after 6 months. I reinstalled windows 3 times trying to fix it. Now Sabrent wants me to copy my ssd and reinstall windows again. The Sabrent support is bad and kind of rude. They will jerk you around until you give up on a valid warranty claim. Windows cannot fix the errors and they blame the install partitions for not being low level formatted. I guess I will just buy a new ssd and copy to that to fix it. UPDATE I had to reinstall my windows 4 times in the last 6 months because the drive went bad. First the apps do not start or turn themselves off. The games start malfunctioning and become slow to respond. The files get corrupt and cannot be fixed using cmd prompt and restart. The Sabrent customer service is not there to help you, they just troll you. They make you do a long list of things to prove something they do not want proven just to wear you down. You have to reinstall your windows over again for the fifth time in a year and use unknown apps to do tests which are meant just to keep you busy so you will give up and just throw it away instead of trying to get an RMA. They are rude and pushy too. They gave me a two days deadline to use an unknown app to test the ssd while I was busy from doing another windows reinstall that did nothing. The millions of bad files could not be fixed. Still no RMA. There are literally dozens of complaints about all of this from Sabrent support on the other reviews. The drive goes bad in 6 to 8 months and all Sabrent customer support does is give you and endless wild goose chase of tasks just to wear you down and cheat you out of an honest RMA. I bought a WD Black 850 and moved on. All the problems went away when the Sabrent ssd went away. BUY THE WD BLACK 850 instead and save yourself endless headaches. My computer has never run better now with the WD Black 850 and is much faster too.

It’s fast, I’ll say that. Ran some benchmarks and got 5000mb/s Read 4000mb/s write speeds. The same test on more expensive drives show this drive is indeed a good purchase. Easy to install and set up.

Needed to upgrade my stick for more TB chose this for price speed everything. worked perfect packaging was very vice they treat it like a real expensive piece of jewelry, very nice box. everything took me just a few mins all went well.

BE WARNED. NO HEAT SINKS INCLUDED. After waiting weeks for Amazon Prime delivery of a few of the Sabrent 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 drives to be delivered. NO HEAT SINK or even Thermal Tape is included with these particular Sabrent 2 TB PCIe 4.0 M 2 drives. Ordering the OPTIONAL SABRENT M.2 Heat Sink costs about an additional $25 (USD) per M.2 drive along with the additional wait time for the heat sink shipment to arrive. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: DO NOT try and run ANY PCIe 4.0 M.2 drive without a HEAT SINK. Presently, nearly ALL PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe drive use the Phison Drive Controller that does get hot. You can not complain too much because screaming through these 2 TB M.2 gumstick drives is a ton of high speed data. Heat is BAD because of: (1.) Throttling- System mandatory/caused speed and data throughput slow down. (2.) Shortened device longevity. (3.) Thermally induced error as malformed data, out of thermal envelope, stable collateral device functioning and computational orchestration. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR. DO NOT RUN ANY HIGH SPEED PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 drive without a heat sink.

Excellent NVMe 4,0 M2 SSD Extreme Drive !!! Im very happy with this product Im actually looking to buy two 2TB drive to add to 2 existing computers!!! I would highly recommend !!!!
