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

This was my first time using this brand and I am pleasantly surprised in the speed and performance. This will be my go to brand for future builds and I recommend to anyone who was skeptical like I was to try it. You wont be disappointed.

Replaced my WD Black NVME 3.0 and replaced it with this one and downloaded windows and it worked perfect for a week or 2 . I Had issues with heat and booting into windows . Slapped my old NVMe Back in and it worked . The issue was with this Sabrent stick so I called customer service here in states , they never answered my calls like 5 times left a message went in their customer help line and left a message and received help via email , rep emailed me in how to set up my nvme In Bios lmao and how to download their software app . I gave up . Dont get me wrong I think this is a super product to purchase but their customer service is really bad and their website to download specific driver for your NVMe model is bad . You shouldn’t have any issues with their products I just think I had a defected NVMe . I had to power erase the NVMe M.2 and manually search for the right driver to download for this specific model myself and fixed the issue myself after hours of researching on the websites. Sabrent your products are a bit expensive for having bad customer service . Won’t be purchasing this product again

Sabrent NVMe 4 500GB setup as I ended up seting it up NOT using Acronis. Motherboard:MSI x570 a-PRO Samgung 500GB SSD 16GB memory BIOS system MBR (Warning-Save a back-up if your moving your data this is for your data safety and I take no responsibility for data loss. if your not sure you know what your doing...DONT) I spent 7 days working with the Acronis software and came to the conclusion that it was not for me. 1. unable to delete program after clone completing. Very large and caused m.2 failure when deleted. 2. M.2 requires GPT not MBR and if your system was set up under MBR it will not clone with Acronis without changing the system to GPT. 3. To find if your sys is MBR or GPT, right click This Computer, Manage, Disk Management, right click on your Basic drive (left hand side). 4. if it reads convert to MBR your in GPT and (goto 7.) if it reads convert to GPT continue to 5. 5. If a new install and you dont mind losing ALL data and wiping it clean do this: open command prompt type diskpart type list disk, Enter key. You will get a list of all disk running on system. type select disk (X), Enter key. the number of the disk you wish to convert. type convert GPT, Enter key. go back and check 3 and 4. Should now read convert to MBR if all went well install all new Windows and software you want on clone M.2 (goto 7.). 6. If your NOT into losing all your MBR files then: open command prompt type diskpart, Enter key type list disk, Enter key. You will get a list of all disk running on system. type select disk (X), Enter key. the number of the disk you wish to convert. type MBR2GPT, Enter key. This was a new command added to windows 10 and is -SUPPOST- to be lossless convert go back and check 3 and 4. Should now read convert to MBR if all went well 7. At this point you should have a GPT disk ready to clone. M.2 is new so if you have more then one M.2 slot you may try the other if the first one fails. install it and set it up as you would any new disk so it is showing as an active disk. 8. GOTO Windows 10, search for settings, then Backup, under Backup on right side select Go to Backup and Restore (Windows 7) yes, it said windows 7 but it works in windows 10, ask Microsoft why not me. Now you will Create a system image and can be copied to a DVD, network file, spare Hard disk but NOT the current system disk. 9. Shut down computer, Remove/disconnect the system disk. restart with Windows install disk, goto trouble shooting and select the system image you save and install it in the new M.2. Remove every thing but M.2, reboot and it should reboot into M.2. 10. Hope it worked for you. Now you can move the M.2 to any slot you wish and it should work. Tech did till me the M.2 will convert to MBR but my system did not accept cloning in that mode ????, could convert as a storage but not as main drive in my sys no matter what I tried would it run in MBR. New 6 Mar 2020 Upped to a 3 star cause this thing is fast, very fast Update: Has been working fine. In-out near 5000. I use Folding@Home and lots of gaming and was OK kinda with the AMD fan until I started the Folding program which has some programing/M.2 compatibility...the temp went 85c-95c. This is not an M.2 problem it is a software problem and Im waiting till F@H gets more complaints with M.2 users. My fix...NZXT liquid cooler and now its 70c not cold but cooler. Normal idle 48c and see the boards the Ryzens run hot compared to I7, so Im happy.

I havent gotten to my build or to testing the drive, but on unboxing it I notice a few things that bug me: 1) There is no S/N printed on the package or the included case (case seems like wasted cost honestly) 2) The heat spreader for the control chip must have been placed manually because its crooked. Sorry for the potato quality photo but you can see the PCD numbering where its evident. Not going to impact performance one iota, but its a loss for aesthetics 3) Including a manual that first talks about the heat spreader it didnt come with - I get it, the drive needs more cooling than what it has, and is either going to get that from the branded heat sink or a motherboard counterpart, but it just seems odd to put it there while selling a SKU that doesnt include the cooler. I imagine the performance once tested will be synonymous with crystal benches already posted and will update review if anything changes.

I installed the Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal SSD Extreme Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-1TB) in my system and cloned my older SSD to the new one using the provided cloning software (Acronis True Image). My PC is configured with the following: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core CPU, Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB of RAM, Asus AM4 TUF Gaming X570-PLUS motherboard, older GPU GeForce GTX 770, Samsung 850 SDD and a Western Digital 1TB harddrive.

For the past year, Ive been using the Sabrent Rocket 1TB SSD for my Windows 10 system drive. Its been working well and error-free for more than 4,700 hours.

Instant boot up with Windows 11 in less than 5 seconds. Loads Fallout 4 like it was nothing when Vsync is disabled.

This SSD was my first M.2. Ive ever owned and boy, was it extremely fast. I had set this up with the heatsink solution and made it my primary OS drive. No other changes made, and just let it go. Fast forward one year later, almost to the day, and my PC begins to have massive issues and BSODs. Come to realize the drive was failing. Backed up my data, and formatted. However, the drive completely died after formatting and it doesnt seem like I can get any assistance with this. ***UPDATE 11/11*** Sabrent support was really helpful in the RMA process and was able to replace the failed drive quickly. Its still a bit frustrating that the lifespan isnt long at all, but Im glad they were able to help resolve the problem.

I heard a lot about this NVMe before I got it. It definitely did not disappoint. I now have 5 of them in total. 3 in one PC and 2 in another. Its very fast, the temps are good. And the price is awesome. Ever since I got my First Sabrent NVMe drive, Ive been recommending them ever since. There are a couple faster drives but you really arent gonna notice a difference so why pay more? I already load everything and write files crazy fast. I am forever a Sabrent fan now.

Dose everything and more the free software you get helps alot the drive alone is fast like boot in milsecs my bios is slower than this drive
