My original order was lost by UPS. Amazon refunded me and I placed another order. This time the item was shipped Fedex overnight. I didnt ask for it but someone there must have figured it out and gone the extra mile to make sure it didnt happen again. Its appreciated. I havent opened the drive yet but everyone seems to think its one of the best for the ROG Ally I plan to install it in. Im sure it will be great because it seems like the people at Sabrent actually care. Theyve earned my future business turning what was a negative experience into something positive. Thank you

Easy to to install, genuine factory sealed hard drive. No issues upgrading in my Steamdeck.

I was worried that it would mess up my steam deck, or that I would mess it up installing it. I just followed the instructions online. Make sure to take out your micro SD card and make sure to unplug the battery! And replace the metal heat shield from the stock one to your sabrent. No difference in battery only better faster storage!!!!

Ok yeah Im that person, I picked this up for my Steam Deck and it served its purpose until the 2TB version came out and now that is in the Steam Deck ... but what to do with this? I put it in a small 2230 external drive case and it is now my Windows 10 Boot partition when I want to boot my Steam Deck into Windows. It is sufficiently fast for the tasks it does, temps are reasonable (never really above like 65*C) and it just works. Sabrent knocks it out of the park once again.

My Surface sleeps as expected and this drive Just Works™ for me on Windows 11 Pro, without applying any tweaks. As noted in other reviews here, this drive isnt reaching advertised rates, which is why Im only giving it 4 stars. That said, knocking off a star may not be fair to Sabrent: its not clear to me that this Surface can actually support the rates this drive is supposed to manifest; lots of Redditors are seeing caps of ~3000MB/s regardless of drive make and model. And *that* said, this drive is *significantly* faster than the OEM Samsung drive that came with tablet, especially for random 4K writes. Ive only had the drive since yesterday, but as of this writing, I strongly recommend this storage unit.

Really great SSD. If you are careful during installation, this makes a great replacement for the Steam Deck.

bought for Alienware m18r1 . Alienware manual says max is 512gb per slot? so I went bigger? easy to install. worked as advertised. widows recognized and installed with no problem. Full drive amount works great with steam! win win! ordered another one..lol great transfer speeds also..

SABRENT provides a great how to video. the process itself was childs play. the Drive works flawlessly, performance is much faster then even the quickest SD card (as youd expect). Storage related stutters i was experiencing in some games have disappeared.

I had read a lot of horror stories about upgrading the M.2 NVMe drive on the Surface Pro 8 (SP8). There were a lot of stories about overheating and BSOD when trying to re-install Windows. When I saw this Sabrent drive advertised on Amazon it specifically said Surface Pro compatible and that it ran cool, so I took a chance on it. I am very pleased with the result. Ill do the TL;DR part up front: I upgraded my 256GB M.2 Drive on my Surface Pro 8 with the 1 TB Sabrent Rocket 2230 NVMe M.2 drive, and the drive runs great at PCIe 4.0 Speeds according to CrystalMark 8. No BSOD and runs under 50 Celsius *EDIT*: Under maximum load, about 35 degrees celcius degrees idle/normal operations *END EDIT* according to CrystalDiskInfo 8. I was able to copy all of my files using Acronis partitioning software you get to use free from Sabrent when you purchase their drive. If you want to know exactly how I copied everything over without ever having to go into the BIOS, keep reading: UPFRONT DISCLAIMER: You will need to purchase three things to do this upgrade if you dont have them already. Two of them you would need anyway if you were to upgrade like Microsoft suggests: #4 Torx screwdriver/bit, thermal compound, and an external NVMe drive enclosure. 1) First I did purchase an external NVMe enclosure to copy the old drive to the new one. You can find them on Amazon for under $30 US. You need to make sure the enclosure can take 2230 size drives. I got one that had USB C to USB C cable and was thunderbolt compatible. Another consideration is that after you swap the NVMe drives you can use the enclosure with your old drive and have another high speed hard drive to back stuff up on, although I found you will need an NVMe thermal pad/heatsink for the old drive or it can overheat. 2) After reading about BSOD NVMe upgrade horror stories on the SP8 it lead me to articles talking about AHCI Link Power Management - HIPM/DIPM. HIPM/DIPM power management is not on by default and you actually have to do a Windows registry edit to make it available. There are some good guides on how to do this via a quick google search. I recommend you enable it and turn the feature on. 3) I had to disable drive encryption before copying files over (it is on by default). You can either disable encryption or get a USB encryption key. I chose to decrypt the drive which will take hours depending on how much data you have on the drive. You can re-encrypt once everything is over to the new drive. THIS NEXT PART IS WHERE MOVING FILES OVER AND GETTING WINDOWS SETEP ON THE NEW DRIVE DIFFERS FROM WHAT MICROSOFT WANTS YOU TO DO. 4) I cannot stress enough the kudos to Sabrent for having their own disk partition software. Acronis, which you can get from Sabrents website, will copy all of your files over for you verbatim; no reinstalling necessary. Follow the disk cloning prompts, and the best part is it will automatically increase the size of your main windows drive to maximum while keeping your boot partition and recovery partition intact (just make sure you chose the correct cloning prompt). Acronis alone makes it worth it to go with Sabrent. 5) The SP8 comes with a front and back metal sleave for the NVMe drive. YOU WILL NEED a #4 Torx screwdriver bit (very tiny!) to unscrew the drive and screw it back in. The metal casing snaps off (do so gently so as not to bend the casing). I cleaned off the thermal compound the old drive had, put in the Sabrent drive, re-applied some CPU thermal compound I already had, and put the casing back together, then screwed it back into the SP8. A lot of videos show using a thermal pad instead of re-using the Microsoft drive enclosure. I think the drive enclosure helps distribute heat evenly back into the SP8 chassis. I turned the SP8 on and it recognized me with all of my files intact without ever having to go into the BIOS the first time. I have been running normally for almost two weeks and not a single issue. Drive runs cool and fast. Works great and couldnt be happier. I hope this helps you out if you are on the fence!

Bought 1tb because 512gb was unavailable for a while. I have no regrets, i have just shy of 1tb of space after loading the OS back onto my Deck. Haven’t experienced any heat increases since day 1. Would recommend for deck storage upgrades, especially while on sale.
