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)

This SSD performs quite well on my Costco Dell 8950 - 12th Gen 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. I purchased one to test and purchased a 2nd one about a week later. Looking forward to a full 4TB SDD machine. SSDs are one of the best ways to improve computer performance for many people.

For anyone that owns a PS5, I cant recommend this enough!! I was looking at a bunch of different heatsinks for a while trying to find some that fit with the PS5 without affecting the stock SSD cover (which many heatsinks do). It seems like there are so many heatsinks that cause problems but this one is perfect! It not only functions as a heatsink for the m.2 SSD but it also replaces the stock SSD cover on the PS5. This is a great feature, so you get best of both worlds, and dont have to worry about whether or not the heatsink will fit. Not to mention, Sabrent has always been a very reliable brand that makes quality products. Ive been purchasing many electronics, accessories, and things of that nature from Sabrent over the years, and they always seem to have a solid amount of quality with their products!

Just make sure you have an ssd before u buy it, like this dummy (me) lol atleast I’ll have a heat sink when I get an ssd

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!

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.

The heat sink is really for desktops; it will not fit in a laptop. My bad; I cannot return just the heat sink, so I will sell on eBay. The drive is really, really tiny. Installation in my Lenovo P17 Gen.2 was pretty obvious. I am cloning drive C to the new drive right now.

Sabrent Rocket + are super fast! I have 2 installed in a Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 Dual Enclosure. They run over 10 times faster than previous 8 TB disk drives. A RAID 1 array also provides much better security than the SSD I had to toss out because the iMac could not mount it.

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.

Original review: I decided to grab this over the Samsung 980 Pro, because I wanted 2TB. Its quite fast, which is to be expected. Definitely highly recommended! Update 3/1/2021: Things arent going well at all. According to HWInfo64, Im down to 94% life remaining already, on a disk Ive only been using for just a couple of days over 3 months. For comparison, the 970 Pro I replaced with this Sabrent disk had been in use for over a year (from August 2019), and it still shows 99% life remaining. Usage is exactly the same, etc. FYI, both disks were the 2TB model. Of course, I understand the 970 Pro is MLC vs TLC on the Sabrent (and 980 Pro), but still - this is a substantial trade-off. This gives me a total life remaining of somewhere around 4 years - but I expect that I would likely see some signs of degradation long before that. Its also tough to find anywhere that Sabrent has documented the TBW lifetime of this drive, and I suspect that could be due to a less-than-impressive result. For comparison, the 980 Pro has an endurance rating of 1200TBW. If that disk was at 94% life remaining, that would mean that you have written 47TB to disk. Ive written 16TB, which is admittedly a lot for 3 months - and Im not even sure how Ive done that, since activity has been somewhat minimal - but that same TBW would only equate to around 1.33% of the life of the Samsung, rather than 6% of the life of the Sabrent. So, by that measure, the Sabrent seems to have roughly 1/4 the data endurance of the Samsung 980 Pro, meaning the endurance of this drive is only around 300TBW! This is HALF of the endurance of even Samsungs QLC offering in the same 2TB size, and not even on-par with the 1TB QLC offering. The moral of the story is, yes - this drive is absolutely the best performance offering right now, but that slim margin definitely comes at a substantial cost to the endurance of the drive. Its still a good disk, and Ive experienced no issues at all with it, but definitely do take that into consideration when youre making your decision on which way to go. Personally, if I had known how bad the endurance would be, I would have opted for the 980 Pro, and taken the marginal hit on performance. For others, though, its performance above all else, and I completely understand and respect that decision. Good luck!
