SABRENT 2TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal SSD Extreme Performance Solid State Drive R/W 7100/6600MB/s (Latest Version) (SB-RKT4P-2TB)

Easy to instal.no heat sink to install

Now i do not overheat. This fixed my ps5 problem. Do not fall in the fan trap none of the addons worked. Buy this if you are overheating. I never heard of this until my problem but thank goodness now i can play this expensive console. playstation if you’re listening, you should build your product with heat shield in it

Speedy boi, both the drive itself and the shipping. Ordered on a Saturday with an expected delivery on Wednesday. Got it on Monday via Fedex. Important info--this seller (Store4PC) is affiliated with Sabrent; theyre not a scalper so no need to worry about it being third-party. As for the drive itself, its basically the best choice for this size right now (8TB). Nothing else comes close in terms of matching all of the speed, capacity, and at a (sorta kinda) reasonable price point. Sure, you could pick up a HDD at twice the capacity for half the price, but then you have to deal with 20th century tech (primitive nowadays) that is slower than a Ford Model T. Why drive a Model T when you could drive a discount Bugatti SUV? Now, the one downside: Pay attention to the installation instructions. Pay attention to the installation instructions. Pay attention to the installation instructions. This is the first SSD Ive had with a heat sink. The instructions said to be sure the SSD was flush against the screw in the housing. I got it within like a hairs distance and thought, ok thats fine. It was not fine. Tried to install it into the M.2 slot and struggled with it for 5 minutes before remembering that hairs distance. Took the housing completely back apart, re-placed the SSD so it was perfectly flush against the screw, put the housing back together, and put it into the motherboards M.2 slot on the first try. Boom, I shouldve learned to actually follow the instructions perfectly. I didnt make that mistake the second time around. Yeah, thats right. This SSD was so good I bought a second one despite it costing me my entire paycheck (I have plenty of leftover rice from the last time I had to dry my system anyway, so no problem). 16TB of glorious NVMe space that can fit all kinds of activities, completely unmatched. Ill probably even buy another one once the next generation of CPUs come out.

It took a few tries for me to install...I couldnt install the SSD into the heatsink first bc the copper coils wouldnt let me insert the card all the way. I had to insert the SSD into its slot, and slip the heatsink housing under it...and then the tiny screws were difficult to get to with the SSD already installed. Also, the screw that secures the heat sink to the PS5 housing was too small in diameter...its holding with only leverage.

100% Recommend. Just arrived and installed this evening. I had been keeping my eye out for its release ever since reading about it. It just happened that I checked on Thanksgiving day and it was suddenly available. Not only was it available but it was the same price as the normal Rocket 4 drive ($199 for the 1TB) and was 30 bucks less than the competing Samsung 980 Pro. So I spent the difference on the available Sabrent NVME heatsink ($24) available on Amazon (if you are going to use one of these drives, you really should have some sort of heatsink to get optimal performance). Cloning my system drive was simple. Sabrent provides a version of Acronis but most any of the other popular tools would have worked as well. Reboot and done. As soon as I powered my machine back on from install, I noticed that seconds had been shaved off of boot time. It went from power off to Windows loading spinning and to a login prompt in less than 15 seconds. I had been using a Sabrent Rocket gen3 in that slot previously and it performed well but this another level. I checked the health and made sure all was good with Sabrents Rocket Control Center and once everything looked good I ran my first benchmark (crop of the results above). It is simply crazy fast. It really has made a noticeable difference in apps opening and loading, large video files open nearly instantly and my next test will be VM performance but wanted to write this for anyone on the fence. While I agreed with the argument that PICE 4 Gen 4 drives would likely NOT really make a huge difference over a fast gen 3 drive, this new line of superfast Sabrents, 980 Pros, WD sn850 drives ABOSULTELY offer real world differences in usability and performance. Coupled with the heatsink, at idle it runs 32C and under load has never broken 39C. As an aside, to see performance like this, you must install it in a PCie 4.0 compatible M.2 slot and most of these are currently found only on AMD x570 motherboards. Even on boards with 2 m.2 slots, make sure you choose one that is connected to the 4.0 BUS. Often, this is the slot closest to the CPU socket. More boards are coming with 2 m.2 slots and in many cases only one is PCIE 4.0. It will run in other slots but you will not see the speeds advertised. I have been working with PCs and in IT since before the days of PATA 33 drives and always kept wondering when we would see the days of instant boot times. Well, with this generation of drives, we are getting awfully close. Finally.

I replaced my primary drive with the Sabrent in order to get the fastest game loading and performance. Very quick access times. I did neglect to buy a good heat sink when I bought it. Sabrent has one for $24 which is a beast and lowered my temp by 10C.

I first put this into my MOB that was only Able to get Gen 3 speeds and I did not think I would see a difference being that this is Gen 4. Boy was I wrong. Much snappier response time getting in and out of programs transferring files from USB were a little quicker. Loading the OS was a little quicker to. It also runs Cooler then any of my other drives by about 5-7C the average Idle Temp was 25-27C In a desktop anyway. Later I put the drive in a Gen 4 MOB. Loading Windows was incredibly fast. Boot up to Desktop was 2-3 seconds faster then Gen 3 and shut down time was about twice as Quick. Overall for 72$ when it was on sale for a 500 GB you can’t go wrong. The only downside is it uses a little more power then other drives I would feel better putting this in a desktop rather then a laptop due to the power consumption. The thin heat spreader seems to do a good job keeping the drive cool most the time but when you stress it the temp goes up a bit but has never thermal throttled on me. It does run a little hotter then some other Gen 4 drives when stressed but nothing to be concerned about. UPDATE: after using the drive for 4 months it still holds up and after testing several other Gen 4 drives including the Kingston KC3000, WD SN770 and Hynix P41 the Sabrent has the fastest boot to windows 10 by an entire 3 seconds and also slightly less shutdown time. The only downside is endurance. After writing 3.5 TB the drive went to 99% and if you don’t have a fan in your PC cooing the drive it does get hotter then others but other then that seems just as fast and faster in some ways as even higher end drives.

I honestly dont know how well the heat dissipation is. But the fitment is oem like. From what I can tell the contact patch should touch the nvme and the cover being the the piece that will draw heat should offer ventilation and not trap the heat.

Better than installing a heatsink and then covering it up like Sony suggest.

I didnt used because, But I gift it to my friend
