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)

The transfer speeds are ridiculously amazing with this bad boy. I highly recommend grabbing a heatsink for it though. Make sure you find the proper fitting one for your laptop or desktop. Without a heatsink, the temps increase pretty quickly and redline during large transfers. This causes your PC to spit out hardrive health notifications. I ended up getting a heatsink but still use apps to monitor the health and temps during transfers.

Very easy to install, fits great, and I have had no issues. Not really sure how else to rate it considering Im not looking at it since I installed it.

If you are looking to expand your storage capacity in your PS5, Look no further. I watched this for awhile and found it on sale. Installation was a breeze and was back up and running in less than 20 minutes. No issues with compatibility so far. It is fast enough to run games straight off of it without lag or latency issues. Highly recommend!!!!

So I wanted to really get some mileage on this ssd before I wrote this review and I think that over two years of daily driving is a good indicator of how it will preform. First off lets talk about Sabrent they have taken the industry by storm lately and for good reason. They have been working closely with phion to produce some of the fastest drives on the market. When I bought my first m.2 drive it was no question that it was Samsung pro was the best money could buy but over the years Samsung has really dropped the ball and Sabrent was there to pick it up. Be it speed or capacity you could have your cake and eat it as well. This drive is a gen 2 pcie 4.0 device and really maxes out the available bandwidth. Other than benchmarks you are really not going to see these kind of transfer speeds as unless you have identical drives everything else will be your bottleneck. The only real projects that I work on that come close are image stacking where I combine hundreds of raw files into one image and there I am pulling from the ssd into ram and you can really see the speed increase. For games and most applications almost any m.2 ssd will keep up with the task where this one will give you a slight edge. To me though it was the combination of speed and the (at the time) highest density drive you could get. 4tb sounds like a lot and really for most it would be more than enough but for me it was enough to not have to worry every time I worked on a project if I was going to have to use slower drives a scratch space but not enough for my system to not have tiered storage spaces. So for longer term how has it held up? Well fantastically in short. I have used it as my main boot disk for over two years and have had no issues at all. Stability has been prefect and the performance has remained strong (note that I keep the drive less the 80% full). I even bought a second one for my new laptop and did some bench marks and the brand new drive was neck and neck with my two year old drive. So I am quite pleased.

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

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

The drive is seriously quick. Excellent sequentials, randoms, and mixed read/write. Its not quite as strong on reads in general as the competing drives, but it more than makes up for it with its outstanding write ability. If youre using the drive for professional work or something that is write heavy, this should be at the top of your list. Higher endurance rating and such strong write performance in every metric over its direct competition makes it a no-brainer. An unfortunate truth is that if you intend to use this with AMDs X570 platform, you need to be careful which M.2 slot you will use. Typical board topology is that the top M.2 is direct CPU lanes driven while the lower M.2 slot(s) are chipset driven. Due to the chipset connecting to the CPU via a 4x link and the drive fully saturating PCI-e 4x 4.0, the overhead of the chipset driving the rest of the I/O means it will be bottlenecked somewhat in straight sequentials. I see about 6400MB/s read and 6500MB/s write in CrystalDiskMark when the drive is installed in my chipset driven M.2 slot. Fortunately this has little to no effect on real world performance as straight sequential workloads are rare and the drive is so fast they are finished quickly anyway. Chances are something else will be the bottleneck before you actually manage to hit even the reduced 6400MB/s performance. The drive specifies it needs a heatsink, but in my testing the copper heatspreading label did a more than sufficient job for desktop use and even light benchmarking. It seems only really necessary if you do I/O intensive workloads, and whatever heatsink your motherboard comes with should be more than sufficient. Bear in mind this is one of the rare two-sided M.2 drives, due to using 8 NAND packages and two DRAM packages (4 NAND and 1 DRAM on each side), so it likely will not fit into any laptop or portable device since they typically use a low profile M.2 connector.

I actually bought this as a back up in case the one that came with the SSD I bought didnt fit right. I ended up not needing this but it did fit my PS5 flawlessly.

My PS5 seems a lot faster. And my new games download is faster as well. You can’t go wrong with it. This is high quality.

Im running the 8tb Rocket 4 Plus right now in my laptop. I wanted to upgrade from the 2tb that my computer came with, which was frankly way too little for my storage needs (Surface Studio Laptop). I was a little concerned at first about its size/whether or not itd fit properly in my laptop, as well as whether or not itd overheat since the Surface Studio Laptop doesnt have a whole lot of space for heat dissipation/etc. It fits, it fits perfectly, and ever since I picked this thing up in September 2022 its been used heavily as my daily driver. Packed it with games, its exceptionally fast, and overall just a fantastic purchase. Buy once, cry once sort of deal. Ive been very happy with my purchase since the day I put this laptop back together with it inside, and its been going strong for around 5 months at the time of writing this review. I dont get any real heat issues with it, even when running games or rendering 3d art in Daz Studio. Overall, if youre looking for a good SSD in this higher end price range, I dont think you can really go wrong with this one.
