SABRENT 1TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD Maximum Performance Solid State Drive (Latest Version) (SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-1TB).

This SSD was my first M.2. Ive ever owned and boy, was it extremely fast. I had set this up with the heatsink solution and made it my primary OS drive. No other changes made, and just let it go. Fast forward one year later, almost to the day, and my PC begins to have massive issues and BSODs. Come to realize the drive was failing. Backed up my data, and formatted. However, the drive completely died after formatting and it doesnt seem like I can get any assistance with this. ***UPDATE 11/11*** Sabrent support was really helpful in the RMA process and was able to replace the failed drive quickly. Its still a bit frustrating that the lifespan isnt long at all, but Im glad they were able to help resolve the problem.

Cloned my Lenovo Yoga 256gb drive to 1TB. Used the Acronis cloning software. Took about 8 minutes using a USB C port. No hassle and very fast. This is a PCI 4 device and the Yoga is a 3 computer. Can use it if I need to use in a new machine.

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 Id 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, youll be getting PCI-E 4.0 speeds, plenty of storage, and the convenience of M.2 (no SATA cables creating unnecessary clutter). I didnt 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. Youll save time and prevent some headaches along the way.

Of course, slow is a relative term with these zippy m.2 drives. Theyre all blindingly fast. This particular drive though has random reads that are 100k lower and random writes that are 180k lower than a nearly identical SSD I have by another manufacturer (W_D). Thinking about returning it actually.

In terms of hardware functionality and performance, it meets my unreasonably high expectations. That was once I got it to clone properly, that is. I gave it 3 stars for installation for this reason: there is an issue with Sabrents cloning software that will cause several steps to move the process forward before they have actually completed their copy phase. This results in a bootable but non-functioning installation of Windows to be written to the SSD, causing an sihost.exe hardware error crash to occur upon logging in to what is an unresponsive/flickering desktop. This has apparently been a problem for several people, but luckily there is a suggested workaround on Reddit- download the free version of Macrium Reflect and it will clone your existing drive onto the Rocket 4.0 without issue. Of course, this is only necessary if you intend on cloning an existing system and its associated filestructure. If doing a clean install of an OS or using it as a data drive for games/graphics editing etc, following the traditional process as you would with any other drive, the bug is related specifically to the cloning software. Other than that WOOT! Faster than my 970 Evo Plus (on paper...i cant tell any speed increase during use but thats only because the 970 was already moving faster than human perception can cognitively sense. So yes it was an unnecessary upgrade. But I like my nerd loot)

Me encanta la marca

I like the speed of the Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal SSD. I have had other NVMe drives that claim speeds they can never reach such as the Intel Optane NVMe is actually slower than a SSD on SATA 6 port UPDATE 11-25-2021; After running this drive just a few months on an ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING WIFI Motherboard Houston - We have a problem . It has been my boot drive from day 1. I am running Intel Core i7-11700K @ 5.0 GHz Unlocked LGA 1200 ROG Strix Z590-E Gaming WiFi Motherboard DDR4 4X M.2 Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 16GB (2 x 8GB) 4400MHz Performance Memory Kit - PVS416G440C9K x2 32GB 1600W power supply , Thermaltake Cosmos full tower. avg idle temp 42c, loaded avg 53c, highest ever recorded 64c Drive has encountered an error and now reports 0GB. I have reset the CMOS, I have never overclocked the system, ran memtest no problems, Processor seems to be working or the memtest would not work. Power supply is working fine on all rails. trouble shooting now will update with results.

This is a great product

The plastic wrap for the packaging was slightly damaged in some small areas, but everything else was almost like brand new. The SSD works, and it reads/writes crazy fast!

I bought this to power my new computer I built to replace the last one I built in 2011 (2.5 128GB Crucial SSD). AMD X570 Chipset for my MB and Ryzen 3700X for the CPU. RX5700 GPU (not a huge gamer). My MB recognized this immediately and I was off and running. MB had built in heat sink so I did not need to buy the one from Sabrent where it was included. Holy cow is this thing lightning quick. I loaded Windows 10 on a USB 3.0 thumb drive and it installed in no time at all. From power button to login its about 5 seconds. Simple stuff (Chrome, Word, Excel, etc.) opens instantly. Installs of downloaded programs are mere flashes on the screen. Load times of games I am sure have been reduced but its hard to tell because my old machine cant load any of these new ones so I dont have comparison. Ive always liked Sabrents products but this is the first foray for me into an actual internal PC component. I know Samsung is the king of these drives but I wanted something PCIe 4.0 and this was the most affordable way to get into the space. As long as this thing lasts for awhile, Im all about it. I almost want to get a second one just to transfer stuff between the 2 drives!
