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

I purchased this SSD two years ago for a gaming rig that I built. After two years of gaming, business applications and internet surfing this SSD is still running strong. I am very happy with this purchase and since Sabrent is still selling them I am currently ordering a second one for the same rig. Im confident that the new one will work as well as the first one.

This SSD has been an excellent piece of new custom built PC (Dec.2020) The performance is remarkable, of course just about most NVMe SSDs would be amazing, when coming from an old custom built PC (Sept.2012) After 3 months of use, the benchmark shows that this SSD rocks! Make sure youre using a motherboard with PCI Express 4.0 capability. I would recommend this SSD to anyone who wants amazing performance, and that they can afford it. Its newer technology, and the price is reasonable for it. I use this drive as my main OS drive (of course, lol) The boot time for Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is very fast, in just under 30 seconds! Ive listed my system specs below. - AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16 Core CPU - 128 GB Gskill DDR4 3200 RAM - Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master Motherboard - Sabrent 2 TB NVMe PCI 4.0 SSD (boot drive) - No point in listing other disk drives - Gigabyte Radeon 5700XT GPU (Was very hard to find) - Be Quiet Case (Dark Base Pro 900 Rev. 2) - Be Quiet 1200W PSU

This SSD performs quite well on my in house build PC - which has two Gen4 PCIe M.2 ports. I am getting full 7000 MB/s reads. After years of transfer rates around 300 to 600 MB/s, this SSD is absolutely stunning. Absolutely zooming along in LightRoom.

Got it on a sale for a friend so I tried it out myself. Works reliably snappy and fast, but not THE fastest on the market. Roughly 2-3 times faster than my other Western Digital NVME

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

Unless you know for a fact that it will physically fit in the motherboard used by you avoid getting the heatsink. Just looking at the motherboard specifications fails to count. This mistake was made by me when building a new computer. [MSI MPG X570 GAMING PRO CARBON WIFI] was purchased by me but when assembling the computer this M.2 Internal SSD the screw meant to lock the memory against its connector failed to line up with the hole for it in the motherboard. However, the computer is being used by me right now to type this review. So without the heatsink, the M.2 Internal SSD works great, to the distortion of mine. Yet as an amateur, a guru or professional may know of some fix or workaround that is unknown to me. For sharing Gravity, grateful to you am I. That the Goddess is asked to alighten a path towards love, joy, & happiness along the self’determined life’cycle chosen by the Higher’Self of yours, by you, pray do I.

Upgraded from an HDD to this NVME. I feel like an idiot for having purchased an HDD in the first place. This is night and day speed difference.

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.

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.

For amazon, its worth mentioning I actually got what I ordered! It really is a heck of a lot faster than my older 970 EVO, but the difference is only something youre going to notice in specific scenarios and mostly if youre looking for it. What sold me on the upgrade is the warranty and lifespan which is advertised as better. It is really an amazing value. I wish I had a 10tb sabrent rocket nvme 4.0 as my SATA drives are soooo slow compared to these. Heat hasnt been an issue really as my motherboard has a heatsink/fan thing with thermal pads on the copper heat spreader (another huge plus imo) this Sabrent 10tb nvme comes with. Video editing : I do video editing and I didnt realize how much my SATA drive was holding me back especially on renders. When outputting to NVME, I noticed my render times dropped dramatically. I should not be surprised because the renders Ive noticed this on are 10bit huge files, but it is worth mentioning that a video card upgrade may cause your hard drive to become a bottleneck.
