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

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.

Purchased on Sep 21, 2020, died on Oct 28th, 2022. For this reason, I cant recommend. Get a Samsung, the one I bought years before this Sabrent is still working. For speed, 990 pro or SK hynix p41. I got the p41 and it blows this Sabrent out of the water in terms of speed (well see about reliability). Getting speeds almost 100% faster on the p41 than the Sabrent. Oh, and when an NVME dies - thats it - you cant even detect the drive to try to recover any data. Keep that in mind and backup important things to another drive regularly.

I built my PC back in late February, and for that time this SSD was really good. Fastest boot times Ive ever had in a computer, great game load times, It performed super well all around. Then in late october, my PC randomly blue screened and turned off. When I tried to turn it back on, it would not boot. Then I got an error saying the boot drive cannot be found. After troubleshooting, I determined the SSD was dead. I then contacted Sabrent Support, which responded to me after 2 days, which isnt bad. However, Sabrents support website and service is straight up awful, and my first response from support asked me to turn the PC on and download Rocket Control Panel, which I obviously couldnt do because the SSD was dead. I replied to the email, and didnt receive a response for another 3 days. Finally, I get a response from support asking me to follow up on the initial response, warning the case will be automatically closed. Wondering what was going on, I replied again, and 2 days later I got enough response saying they are closing the ticket because they couldnt get in touch with me. This is when I realized that in order to contact Sabrent, I would have to make a new ticket EVERY SINGLE TIME I replied to an email because their website doesnt have a reply feature either! I probably made like 7 new support tickets. On the bright side, I did get a replacement SSD which arrived in December, a little over a month later. Since december it has been working, though I bought a Samsung 970 Pro to replace it as my boot drive since I wasnt waiting for a month to use my PC, so it is now my gaming drive mainly. I talked to a few people who had a similar experience as me, so it seems that its somewhat common. I cant recommend this SSD because of this, please take your money elsewhere, as I feel like Sabrent has some sort of QC issues.

This drive was worked very good for 3 years but it started causing crashing issues about 3 years in to its life and I have been forced to replace it. When I made this purchase it was $180 for a 1TB Drive, which I expected to last longer than it did.

Bought my first one a with the PS5 over a year ago still works perfectly. Recently bought a second one for our second PS5.

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.

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.

Purchased September 2020, This drive worked like a dream when I first got it. Read/write speeds through the roof, and starting up the computer was as fast as waking my old computer from sleep. However, at the beginning of this month (April 2023), it catastrophically failed. Blue screen of death, and BIOS doesn’t even show the drive anymore. It looks like I might’ve gotten a faulty one.. conveniently failing outside of the manufacturer’s warranty. Don’t know how I’m going to recover my stuff from it. It works great at first, but I don’t know that I’d recommend it.

This thing is nuts. Crazy fast. Im not running bench marks or anything, but I loaded Windows 10 on it and Ive never seen a system boot up so fast. Blows my mind every time. Im used to waiting a while and then getting into windows and then its still thinking for a while. This one is just zap! Done! Very cool. Only game Ive installed is Diablo 3, all my other games will be on steam and are waiting for another sabrent NVME M.2 drive, this time PCIE 3.0 QLC 2tb. Diablo 3 runs great. Ive had bad luck w SSD drives connected by SATA. They just dont work or die early. My firecuda 2tb hybrid ssd drive could never even be detected, was causing electrical problems, blinking rgb lights or computer turning off, so forget it. I ordered another sabrent nvme drive for my other m.2 slot, about the cheapest 2tb NMVE one for games PCIE 3.0, because now I trust that they work, not the fastest of its kind but super fast. I dont trust SSD and mechanical drives are too big and slow and louder, so Im paying some more for what I know will work. Should not improve gaming too much from what I hear, maybe loading times idk, I just need it to work and didnt want a mechanical drive. Done with SSDs connected by SATA chords. Plugging storage straight to the motherboard now. I have a ROG Strix-E motherboard so it has thermal pads w fan and covering to cool both m.2 drives already. Should be fine. Sabrent is a brand Ive only now heard of. If these two drives continue to impress me like the first one has so far, for the last few weeks, and not crap out right away, I will really trust and recommend Sabrent drives in the future. So far so good!

The first drive I received didnt work properly. After an easy exchange, the replacement works great and its very fast. Definitely recommend.
