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

This was part of a water-cooled monster. It got so cold inside the case around the water block that water condensed and dripped on my expensive NVMe. Live and Learn.

Product was like any other NVME ssd, installation is super easy, I’d still recommend watching a generic nvme ssd installation video if you never have installed this type of ssd before. It took me less than 1 minute with prior knowledge. Write speeds are super fast, haven’t had an issue with partioning drives or my motherboard recognizing it. Would highly recommend!

I purchased this SSD two years ago for a gaming rig that I built. After two years of gaming, business applications and internet surfing this SSD is still running strong. I am very happy with this purchase and since Sabrent is still selling them I am currently ordering a second one for the same rig. Im confident that the new one will work as well as the first one.

I havent gotten to my build or to testing the drive, but on unboxing it I notice a few things that bug me: 1) There is no S/N printed on the package or the included case (case seems like wasted cost honestly) 2) The heat spreader for the control chip must have been placed manually because its crooked. Sorry for the potato quality photo but you can see the PCD numbering where its evident. Not going to impact performance one iota, but its a loss for aesthetics 3) Including a manual that first talks about the heat spreader it didnt come with - I get it, the drive needs more cooling than what it has, and is either going to get that from the branded heat sink or a motherboard counterpart, but it just seems odd to put it there while selling a SKU that doesnt include the cooler. I imagine the performance once tested will be synonymous with crystal benches already posted and will update review if anything changes.

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.

Excellent NVMe 4,0 M2 SSD Extreme Drive !!! Im very happy with this product Im actually looking to buy two 2TB drive to add to 2 existing computers!!! I would highly recommend !!!!

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)

Drive failed within 45 days like the headline says. BSOD occurred with an uncorrectable error before booting to it again thinking it was a driver error only to happen again with a process1 initialization error. That caused the drive to not be discoverable through bios or file explorer. Tried to use chkdsk only to not start and other software to try to recover any corruption that may be on the software side. Nothing worked and the only test that worked was where it detected over 50k bad sectors before the drive crashed the test and disappears from detection again. Reached out to Sabrent for support, will report back once I hear back from them. Edit: Got ahold of support and with some hiccups on that, they RMA’d the failed drive and sent a replacement once they received the drive. Took about a total of 3-4 weeks to finally get the new drive.

Instant boot up with Windows 11 in less than 5 seconds. Loads Fallout 4 like it was nothing when Vsync is disabled.

This is a great product
