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

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.

For amazon, its worth mentioning I actually got what I ordered! It really is a heck of a lot faster than my older 970 EVO, but the difference is only something youre going to notice in specific scenarios and mostly if youre looking for it. What sold me on the upgrade is the warranty and lifespan which is advertised as better. It is really an amazing value. I wish I had a 10tb sabrent rocket nvme 4.0 as my SATA drives are soooo slow compared to these. Heat hasnt been an issue really as my motherboard has a heatsink/fan thing with thermal pads on the copper heat spreader (another huge plus imo) this Sabrent 10tb nvme comes with. Video editing : I do video editing and I didnt realize how much my SATA drive was holding me back especially on renders. When outputting to NVME, I noticed my render times dropped dramatically. I should not be surprised because the renders Ive noticed this on are 10bit huge files, but it is worth mentioning that a video card upgrade may cause your hard drive to become a bottleneck.

Easy installation, fast, stable. Using it for the OS drive.

This is the 3rd or 4th Sabrent Rocket NVMe Ive purchased (varying from 512GB - 2TB). Performance is stellar and I cant tell the difference compared to other NVMe (WD Black, Samsung 960/970/980) brands Ive used. From copying files to loading up games, it never skips a beat.

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 !!!!

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.

I installed this as a second drive for doing video editing mostly. It was generally easy to install ( the utility from the website is not as user friendly if you are not familiar with drive cloning, transfer, and format types ). It is definitely faster than some of previous generation SSDs that I had been using.

I compared this to many other NVMe drives on the market and was looking to upgrade from my older Gen3 500gb offbrand NVMe I was using as my boot drive. I considered the industry accepted go-tos Samsung and Western Digitals of the memory world, but I decided to give Sabrent a try as the price to performance wasnt matched by anyone else in the segment. I am glad I did. Cloning my boot drive with Sabrents Acronis software could not have been easier, a couple of clicks and I was done. Moving my OS (Windows 10) and relevant data from the old drive to the new was easy, ridiculously easy. I now have a much faster (Rocket is an appropriate name) drive, with more storage for a relatively low price. My OS loads quicker, games and programs I have installed on this drive have faster load and response times, and moving huge files happens FAST. I am so impressed I am planning on ordering two more and populating all my M.2 slots and maybe running a RAID set up. While it is not a make it or break item I did like the tin case it was shipped in, packaging was a nice touch, and the Acronis software available for download is a value add as well. If your in the market for NVMe Gen 4 M.2 drive I would highly recommend this product. Please make sure your motherboard has PCIexpress 4.0 (Gen4) M.2 slot (although this is backwards compatible and will work in a Gen3 M.2 slot, albeit with a reduced bandwidth). Note I am using this on a B550 Aorus Master motherboard.

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)

Sabrent really outdid themselves with this drive. Its made an enormous impact on some of the games that take forever to load, otherwise. I installed this as a replacement for a standard SSD when it died unexpectedly. I paired this up with the heat sink by Sabrent and immediately noticed an enormous difference in performance. Given the long life of this product, the price point, and the capabilities. I couldnt be happier.
