SABRENT 2TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal SSD Extreme Performance Solid State Drive R/W 7100/6600MB/s (Latest Version) (SB-RKT4P-2TB)

Seems to be working like a charm have not had any over heating issues with my PS5. Product does exactly what it described.

It was smaller than I expected, but it arrived on time and it is exactly what I ordered. I am pleased.

The transfer speeds are ridiculously amazing with this bad boy. I highly recommend grabbing a heatsink for it though. Make sure you find the proper fitting one for your laptop or desktop. Without a heatsink, the temps increase pretty quickly and redline during large transfers. This causes your PC to spit out hardrive health notifications. I ended up getting a heatsink but still use apps to monitor the health and temps during transfers.

So far I like this product it performs very well it came in a very nice packaging that once you open the box you find a tin that houses the drive itself. As for longevity I cannot give this a rating because you do not ask for longevity right after something is ordered. As Ive said before these reviews should not be allowed to do until 6 months after you order the product when they include such things as longevity in them.

The drive is seriously quick. Excellent sequentials, randoms, and mixed read/write. Its not quite as strong on reads in general as the competing drives, but it more than makes up for it with its outstanding write ability. If youre using the drive for professional work or something that is write heavy, this should be at the top of your list. Higher endurance rating and such strong write performance in every metric over its direct competition makes it a no-brainer. An unfortunate truth is that if you intend to use this with AMDs X570 platform, you need to be careful which M.2 slot you will use. Typical board topology is that the top M.2 is direct CPU lanes driven while the lower M.2 slot(s) are chipset driven. Due to the chipset connecting to the CPU via a 4x link and the drive fully saturating PCI-e 4x 4.0, the overhead of the chipset driving the rest of the I/O means it will be bottlenecked somewhat in straight sequentials. I see about 6400MB/s read and 6500MB/s write in CrystalDiskMark when the drive is installed in my chipset driven M.2 slot. Fortunately this has little to no effect on real world performance as straight sequential workloads are rare and the drive is so fast they are finished quickly anyway. Chances are something else will be the bottleneck before you actually manage to hit even the reduced 6400MB/s performance. The drive specifies it needs a heatsink, but in my testing the copper heatspreading label did a more than sufficient job for desktop use and even light benchmarking. It seems only really necessary if you do I/O intensive workloads, and whatever heatsink your motherboard comes with should be more than sufficient. Bear in mind this is one of the rare two-sided M.2 drives, due to using 8 NAND packages and two DRAM packages (4 NAND and 1 DRAM on each side), so it likely will not fit into any laptop or portable device since they typically use a low profile M.2 connector.

Speedy boi, both the drive itself and the shipping. Ordered on a Saturday with an expected delivery on Wednesday. Got it on Monday via Fedex. Important info--this seller (Store4PC) is affiliated with Sabrent; theyre not a scalper so no need to worry about it being third-party. As for the drive itself, its basically the best choice for this size right now (8TB). Nothing else comes close in terms of matching all of the speed, capacity, and at a (sorta kinda) reasonable price point. Sure, you could pick up a HDD at twice the capacity for half the price, but then you have to deal with 20th century tech (primitive nowadays) that is slower than a Ford Model T. Why drive a Model T when you could drive a discount Bugatti SUV? Now, the one downside: Pay attention to the installation instructions. Pay attention to the installation instructions. Pay attention to the installation instructions. This is the first SSD Ive had with a heat sink. The instructions said to be sure the SSD was flush against the screw in the housing. I got it within like a hairs distance and thought, ok thats fine. It was not fine. Tried to install it into the M.2 slot and struggled with it for 5 minutes before remembering that hairs distance. Took the housing completely back apart, re-placed the SSD so it was perfectly flush against the screw, put the housing back together, and put it into the motherboards M.2 slot on the first try. Boom, I shouldve learned to actually follow the instructions perfectly. I didnt make that mistake the second time around. Yeah, thats right. This SSD was so good I bought a second one despite it costing me my entire paycheck (I have plenty of leftover rice from the last time I had to dry my system anyway, so no problem). 16TB of glorious NVMe space that can fit all kinds of activities, completely unmatched. Ill probably even buy another one once the next generation of CPUs come out.

Now i do not overheat. This fixed my ps5 problem. Do not fall in the fan trap none of the addons worked. Buy this if you are overheating. I never heard of this until my problem but thank goodness now i can play this expensive console. playstation if you’re listening, you should build your product with heat shield in it

It took a few tries for me to install...I couldnt install the SSD into the heatsink first bc the copper coils wouldnt let me insert the card all the way. I had to insert the SSD into its slot, and slip the heatsink housing under it...and then the tiny screws were difficult to get to with the SSD already installed. Also, the screw that secures the heat sink to the PS5 housing was too small in diameter...its holding with only leverage.

I actually bought this as a back up in case the one that came with the SSD I bought didnt fit right. I ended up not needing this but it did fit my PS5 flawlessly.

Original review: I decided to grab this over the Samsung 980 Pro, because I wanted 2TB. Its quite fast, which is to be expected. Definitely highly recommended! Update 3/1/2021: Things arent going well at all. According to HWInfo64, Im down to 94% life remaining already, on a disk Ive only been using for just a couple of days over 3 months. For comparison, the 970 Pro I replaced with this Sabrent disk had been in use for over a year (from August 2019), and it still shows 99% life remaining. Usage is exactly the same, etc. FYI, both disks were the 2TB model. Of course, I understand the 970 Pro is MLC vs TLC on the Sabrent (and 980 Pro), but still - this is a substantial trade-off. This gives me a total life remaining of somewhere around 4 years - but I expect that I would likely see some signs of degradation long before that. Its also tough to find anywhere that Sabrent has documented the TBW lifetime of this drive, and I suspect that could be due to a less-than-impressive result. For comparison, the 980 Pro has an endurance rating of 1200TBW. If that disk was at 94% life remaining, that would mean that you have written 47TB to disk. Ive written 16TB, which is admittedly a lot for 3 months - and Im not even sure how Ive done that, since activity has been somewhat minimal - but that same TBW would only equate to around 1.33% of the life of the Samsung, rather than 6% of the life of the Sabrent. So, by that measure, the Sabrent seems to have roughly 1/4 the data endurance of the Samsung 980 Pro, meaning the endurance of this drive is only around 300TBW! This is HALF of the endurance of even Samsungs QLC offering in the same 2TB size, and not even on-par with the 1TB QLC offering. The moral of the story is, yes - this drive is absolutely the best performance offering right now, but that slim margin definitely comes at a substantial cost to the endurance of the drive. Its still a good disk, and Ive experienced no issues at all with it, but definitely do take that into consideration when youre making your decision on which way to go. Personally, if I had known how bad the endurance would be, I would have opted for the 980 Pro, and taken the marginal hit on performance. For others, though, its performance above all else, and I completely understand and respect that decision. Good luck!
