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)

Pair this heatsink with the m.2 of your choice (I used a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB) and your PS5 will thank you. The heatsink is designed to be a perfect fit for the PS5 and replaces the stock metal cover that comes with the console. With other standard heatsinks like you would use in a PC, such as the rectangular one that you can get with the Samsung 980 Pro, you will either have problems getting them to fit or have a gap around the space where the m.2 goes. This heatsink is form-fitted to secure itself to the ssd and also replace the metal cover. This puts the top of the heatsink right up near where the console fan can suck hot air away from it. Its a smart design and it looks very nice and flush with the plastic chassis of the console. Installation is simple, just MAKE SURE to remove the standoff and move it to whichever hole lines up with the correct size of m.2 you bought. It is a silver metal looking washer and it doesnt necessarily pop out automatically so you may think that it is a non-removable part. Just pop it up and then use it with the screw to secure down your memory. This will ensure that the heatsink makes good contact with it. I recommend this heatsink 100%.

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.

Absolutely perfect fit and does a great job of keeping the additional SD cool in the PS5

Me gusta su diseño y no ha habido problemas con su desempeño.

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 installed this in an M.2 expansion slot as apposed to directly to the motherboard. The fastest speed I could get from it is 930mps read, 830 write. The Samsung ssd I have in the next expansion slot hits 3600mps. So it might be fast in a M.2 slot directly installed on the mother board, it is not in expansion slots. This is a Gen 4 Asus board. Other than that, I am just using it for download, documents and pictures storage, so blazing speed is not needed

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 am not a “tech guy” but I found this fairly easy to install in the PS5. Make sure you order the recommended heat sink. Once an installed it, I set all my installs to go to it, and so far have had zero problems playing PS5 games directly from 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!!!!

Works great, but make sure you seat the heat sink correctly.
