Sabrent 1TB TLC Gen. 4 NVMe SSD

I will likely be updating this review, as I built a brand new PC and would like to write a comprehensive review regarding all components. However, the review will include individual product reviews as well, so let this be the first of the lot. I'll keep it simple for now. First and foremost: this drive is great. It's stupid fast, looks nice, and so far, I've had zero problems. That said, I'm also a first time NVMe user, so take that with a grain of salt. Even an SSD drive would have been a substantial upgrade for me, so it's hard to fully gauge the quality of this product. Which brings me to the only "cons"/concerns I have. 1) Assembling the heatsink felt a bit sketchy. The amount of pressure I had to apply in order to align the screws correctly was much greater than I'd have expected. Even with said pressure, two of the screws barely caught thread and anchored properly. If you've got arthritis or low hand strength, a vise might be appropriate... 2) So far, I've yet to see even a whiff of the read/write speed the drive boasts (while still seeing 2,000+ MB/sec on benchmarks, which seems in-line with most NVMe drives). While that doesn't really upset me, seeing as it's ridiculously fast anyway, my X570 + Ryzen 7 3700X *should* be able to take advantage of it -- I just haven't seen it yet. Perhaps that's just a limitation of the benchmark software I've used so far (largely UserBenchmark for anything other than the CPU/GPU), but it's worth noting *for now.* If I ever see a file transfer/benchmark that reveals the boasted 5,000MB/sec, I will most certainly update this. 3) With the above point in mind, I highly recommend you go with the 1TB version at minimum. My benchmark has fallen substantially since I first ran it, and I suspect it's because of the limited storage I have left for sequential writes. Furthermore, the 1TB+ versions seem to have better specs overall. Last thoughts for this initial review: my first benchmark on UserBenchmark put this drive at some 380% efficiency, ranking my PC as a UFO across the board. That is a tremendous score. While it has fallen to "below expected" versus other benches using this drive on my latest bench, it hasn't seen any real-world performance issues. I again suspect it's entirely because of the remaining space on the drive. Do I recommend the Sabrent Rocket 4? I definitely do. Just don't make my mistake and think that because you were only using ~170GB of total data on your previous PC that you won't suddenly end up with almost twice that with the increase in power/performance/ability to actually play modern games/use intensive apps, haha.

My gaming PC was very slow, boot times were killing me. I was at the point of throwing in the towel and getting a new PC just to stop the pain. I did some research and found that a solid state drive may solve my problems. I purchased the Sabrent 2TB and never looked back. After the install my PC, it felt like I was dealing with a brand new computer. Everything felt faster and I wasn't pulling my hair out because things too forever to load. With 2TB you will not have to worry about running out of space.

Ecillent speed and response with OS bootup time and data transfer rates a great choice for graphic design and or video editing.

I'm extremely happy with my purchase of the SABRENT 2TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 SSD. It's a beast of a drive that delivers blazing-fast performance and plenty of storage space for all my games and files. It was easy to install on my motherboard that supports PCIe 4.0, and it came with a free cloning software that helped me transfer my data from my old drive. The SABRENT Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 SSD has an impressive sequential read speed of up to 5,000 MBps and a sequential write speed of up to 4,400 MBps, which is much faster than any SATA or PCIe 3.0 SSD I've ever used. It also has a high endurance rating of up to 3,600 TBW, which means it will last me for years without any degradation or failure. The drive looks sleek and stylish with its black PCB and gold sticker, and it comes with a 5-year warranty if you register it online within 90 days of purchase. I also like that it supports NVMe 1.3 protocol, SMART and TRIM functions, and firmware updates. The SABRENT Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 SSD is hands down the best SSD I've ever owned, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to upgrade their PC or laptop with a fast, reliable, and high-capacity drive.

I bought this to replace my Samsung 860 EVO 500GB sata ssd because I needed more than 500GB and since I have PCI-E 4.0, I figured I'd use it. Now, the price tag for this drive might look expensive, keep in mind that this is PCI-E 4.0 ready, has 1TB of storage space, AND it is an M.2 drive. So, you'll be getting PCI-E 4.0 speeds, plenty of storage, and the convenience of M.2 (no SATA cables creating unnecessary clutter). I didn't have any issues with this drive right after cloning it (comes with the Acronis software for cloning) and installation was extremely simple for me. Not only was installing this drive to my motherboard really simple but using Acronis to clone was a very user-friendly experience. No matter how amazing this drive is, there are some slight nitpicks that I am going to mention. First off, finding the exact Acronis page to download the software required to clone (if you plan to clone anyways) was the most problem I had with my overall experience getting this drive operational. Second is that if you are planning to buy the SSD with the heatsink combo, then please follow the instructions. It will save you some time and some headaches in getting everything attached. I was confused when I was trying to get this installed onto my motherboard but quickly realized that I had to take off the standoff that is on the motherboard and position it onto the correct hole. Someone mentioned in a review that they took off the tiny foam block (assuming you have the foam block on your motherboard) and installed it. Please do not remove that foam and see if you have the standoff. Once I positioned the standoff correctly, everything else installed easily. When putting the heatsink together, the bottom plate has a "lip" at the screw hole. This is to help people line up the drive and top portion of the heatsink so that everything fits snug and correctly (the manual shows this). Great SSD and heatsink for the price but please read the small manual for the heatsink. You'll save time and prevent some headaches along the way.

Ça faisait des années que j'hésitais à prendre un ssd, travaillant dans le domaine musical je n'en voyais pas tant l'intérêt, mais ça m'a changé la vie. Même si évidemment mes projets chargent toujours pour s'ouvrir, le temps est conciderablement réduit (4x plus vite qu'avant). Windows se lance en 5s, et ça tient presque de la magie. Je suis impressionné de la performance d'un si petit composant. Livré dans un packaging PARFAIT, vraiment PARFAIT. Étant un grand adapté de la valorisation client, avoir reçu mon ssd dans une boîte en metal de la même couleur que celui ci, bien gardé à l'abri des chocs dans un '' support '' en mousse, une notice très simple et efficace, un mot d'accueil et de remerciement, j'aime énormément,en plus la boîte peut être utilisée pour d'autres choses ! Simple à installer, à configurer moins évident car il faut l'activer dans les paramètres Windows, et simple d'utilisation évidemment, je vous le conseille absolument. Si vous hésitiez encore avant de lire ce commentaire, je vous en pris, foncez !

Initially I noticed how small it is, the box is roughly the size of a pack of playing cards and about half the width. Really high quality tin case which opened up to a really nice looking drive. The price was ok compared to a lot of other pcie4 options and pairing this with a b550 Tomahawk. Transfer speeds are insanely fast compared to traditional SATA options. Windows load times have improved significantly, as well as game load times. Lots of games that load players into servers between rounds such as BFV i'm consistently one of the first to load in. Recommended for PCIe4.0 users.

This drive is very fast. Build quality looks good. The heat sink is very chunky and I think it will do a good job. Buyer beware! If you use the heat sink, make sure you do your pre measuring of your motherboard layout. The heat sink is a bit bigger than the the drive is wide therefore if too close to the any other component it will not fit. Picture shown is on the 2nd M.2 slot below the GPU (ASUS TUF Gaming X-570 Pro Wifi). Other than that the installation was a breeze.

Top, werkt perfect met mijn Mac Pro 2010

I’ve been using the Samsung Rocket SSD as my main boot drive for a while now and I’m still thrilled with the results! The 1 terabyte capacity is perfect for my needs and the device is incredibly fast and reliable.. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a high-quality storage device
