SABRENT Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/2000MB/s (SB-RKTQ-1TB)

No problems with the order. The product came without an issue. The only issue was on the computer side--and not on the SSD purchased-- where it didnt recognized the installed SSD on the PCIe slot--BIOS listed the SSD but not in the disk management. It turned out that the controller device driver had to be uninstalled and rebooted before the SSD was recognized. Then, with the included Acronis True Image software for Sabrent, it was a matter of initializing and setting up the partition to use as a drive. This is the 2nd SSD purchased for extra storage space. The 1st was used to clone and expand the originally installed 256GB Win10 image.

this is the second product i get from Sabrent , the first one was 4TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal SSD Extreme Performance Solid State Drive R/W 7100/6600MB/s (SB-RKT Sabrent 4TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal SSD , and it was perfect in all aspects . this time i ordered the Sabrent Rocket Q 2TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive and until now it didnt disappoint in any way , although i have to say that the shipment took long time time to arrive but i understand this specially at this time . the part was very easy and direct to install and also it ran perfectly with windows 10 with no issues , the speed is outstanding even for a normal SSD and the writing speed , heat and overall performance was on the note . highly recommended price for quality comparing to other brands .

I just brought the MSI GS66 2070 Max Q laptop with 1TB of storage. I wanted to add another 1TB due to my vast library of games from Steam, Epic, and Oculus. I was looking for a fast NVMe as well. The price on this NVMe was great and boy is this as fast as advertised. Item came wrapped in a nice small aluminum box and well package. Everything screamed quality. Its been inside my laptop now for 2 weeks and it is working perfectly. No issues with installation or formatting the drive. Well worth the price, which I thought was a great value. I would purchase from them again.

I will use the Sabrent SSD card in the Sabrent USB enclosure for fast backup of video and photos on the job site and then to transfer to my backup system at the office. Seems fast for transfer speeds and the enclosure is sturdy and compact - smaller than any other portable hard drive Ive used in the past.

Running on a PCI-E adapter Funny thing, it bested my 970 Evo ( on my MB ) easily when the Evo was C: Once I cloned the drive and swapped and it became the OS DRive.. it was still just as fast.. BUT the EVO was faster as my new the Steam Drive. Computer is stupid fast now.. One other thing.. I never heard of Sabrent and figured a cheap knock off company.. But for the price.. I would give it a try. I was SHOCKED the packaging put the Samsung packaging to shame. That and the performance I see out of it as the OS card, I wouldnt question getting anything from them again.

Been using 3 of these for zfs raid for a few weeks now. Hardware performance has been great and capacity cant be matched by any other vendor at the moment in this form factor. Was concerned about the dual format for 512b/4k sectors. I definitely wanted 4k for zfs and bought a separate Sabrent USB enclosure to make sure they were properly formatted before installation. The software is junk. It has some hard coded 10 minute timeouts on its formats, which is easy to reach on an 8tb drive. Luckily, it will keep formatting after the timeout and you can continue after restarting the software. Also, for those expecting the 512b sector size for any performance reason, its really 512e, which is just a comaptability layer and not a real 512b sector size.

After using this drive for about 11 months now (purchased in March of 2020) I have to say I am very disappointed with it. It is my main boot drive and I have never exceeded much more than half of the entire capacity of the drive (about 52% at most for 1TB drive). After testing the drive many times using CrystalDisk, the read performance is where it needs to be, about 3400 MB/s consistently; however the write speed is an entirely different story. I can never break 500 MB/s. I contacted support and they gave me all sorts of conditionals you have to meet in order to achieve the rated write speed. Really? Ive read on various forums where the drive was replaced due to this problem for some folks. Support was not very helpful at all, they never answered any of my questions and basically said, deal with it. Even after conducting some of the suggestions (trim the drive, optimize/clean the OS etc etc). I know the write performance isnt systemic because I have a secondary WD drive that performs excellent at rated/advertised speeds, and its even older than this drive. Being the boot drive shouldnt hit my write performance by 80 percent, (which is what support tried to say). Hey Sabrent, If i wanted write performance of a SATA SSD, I would buy one. Anyway, avoid this drive; spend a few dollars extra and get a Samsung or premium WD.

I have used this brand exclusively to upgrade customers computers needing a NVME drive, until now. A routine short self-test on the drive in a Dell Gaming laptop caused a violent blue screen followed by the motherboard no longer recognizing anything attached to the NVME port. As if it didnt exist. Luckily, computer has accident protection and Dell will be fixing the machine. I thought this was a glitch. So, I tried another identical Sabrent drive on a different Dell computer, this time it was an XPS machine. Again, a routine short self-test on the drive caused a blue screen. At least, this time the port was still functional. So, I tried a different brand NVME and the self-test ran without any issues. I dont know whether new Dell systems have introduced a set of computer commands that cause incompatibility with the drive but at this time I am abstaining from buying this brand and stick with the brand that works for me. If the issue is fixed down the road, I would be back to buy it again.

I have enjoyed using it, it has great space and doesnt rake up much space. After 1 year of usage it has died just outside of warranty range. For those that do e d up getting this drive I would highly recommend registering it with sabrent to get upto a 5 year warranty.

First things first. QLC is not made for boot, it can, but its super volatile and will degrade faster. Treat this more as a spinning platter HDD and youll be good. Should be used as a storage drive. Its expensive, since its the tech and the size of the stick that makes it expensive. NOW if this were in a 2.5IN form factor with larger NAND PACKETS, it would be more robust. BUT... QLC is not robust. I bought this for my absurdist PC build in my podcast room. I had a lot of money and I wanted to build the most expensive PC I could buy with non-server parts (since then you could totally break the 20+K mark, I only spent 15K on it. PC: ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha MOBO 256GB Kingston 32000MT RAM RTX 3090 (since the TI wasnt out then) AMD TRx4 3990x 4tb Sabrant BOOT Gen 4 TLC 8TB (x2) Sabrant Storage Gen 3 Drives. Needless to say with a total of 20TB on my motherboard alone and the ability to expand that even more if so-choose. Yeah, Im happy with this purchase. To those complaining about a missing terabyte, I agree, thats annoying but thats how the game is played. Just like 8K is really closer to 7.5K and 4K is 3.8K. Supposedly has to do with partitioning and raid tables. IF I had to guess, theyre saving 1TB for redundancy purposes and to increase the life of an already more volatile form of NVME. Meaning in case of a failure, its double writing up to a Terabyte to a private sector, so it can be recovered. Also like in lithium cells best not to fully populate SSDs/NANDS. Think of it as a library with a lot of shelves, you need aisle space to fetch the memory, but the more shelves of data you put in it, the harder it is to get to the books, but in return youre able to store more memory. And this is 4 shelves per rack meaning theyre super tall and wobbly. The more you call from this QLC the more chance of bumping the shelf and knocking it over. AKA corrupting the data. And when one goes, the whole thing goes, like dominoes. Conclusion: BUY IT if you need a lot of memory in a tiny space, ARE NOT using it as a boot drive, and accept that the speeds are slower due to the type of RAID programmed on its controller. As an ARCHIVAL DRIVE, this is great. (Backing up old photos, videos and documents). HECK YEAH its expensive. Remember 30 years ago, the concept of 1GB was absurd, now were dealing with 8TBs. I would definitely recommend since at the time of purchase Sabrant were the only people crazy enough to put out an 8TB NVME drive. Heck they were one of the few 4TB NVME manufacturers as well, havent checked up to see if more companies put them out. If you need the space, within this absurdly small footprint. I dont know, pretty hard to suggest anything else. Since it doesnt really exist.
