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)

Quality looks and feels amazing dont bother looking around for a better ps5 solution or paying a higher price for an ssd with a pre-installed heatsink just buy it! I havent gotten to test it yet since my samsung 980 pro was dead on arrival but it will be a massive improvement over the sheetmetal door on the ps5 that holds in a pocket of heat effectively slowing down and stressing your new ssd expansion

I first put this into my MOB that was only Able to get Gen 3 speeds and I did not think I would see a difference being that this is Gen 4. Boy was I wrong. Much snappier response time getting in and out of programs transferring files from USB were a little quicker. Loading the OS was a little quicker to. It also runs Cooler then any of my other drives by about 5-7C the average Idle Temp was 25-27C In a desktop anyway. Later I put the drive in a Gen 4 MOB. Loading Windows was incredibly fast. Boot up to Desktop was 2-3 seconds faster then Gen 3 and shut down time was about twice as Quick. Overall for 72$ when it was on sale for a 500 GB you can’t go wrong. The only downside is it uses a little more power then other drives I would feel better putting this in a desktop rather then a laptop due to the power consumption. The thin heat spreader seems to do a good job keeping the drive cool most the time but when you stress it the temp goes up a bit but has never thermal throttled on me. It does run a little hotter then some other Gen 4 drives when stressed but nothing to be concerned about. UPDATE: after using the drive for 4 months it still holds up and after testing several other Gen 4 drives including the Kingston KC3000, WD SN770 and Hynix P41 the Sabrent has the fastest boot to windows 10 by an entire 3 seconds and also slightly less shutdown time. The only downside is endurance. After writing 3.5 TB the drive went to 99% and if you don’t have a fan in your PC cooing the drive it does get hotter then others but other then that seems just as fast and faster in some ways as even higher end drives.

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

This SSD performs quite well on my Costco Dell 8950 - 12th Gen which has two Gen4 PCIe M.2 ports. I am getting full 7000 MB/s reads. After years of transfer rates around 300 to 600 MB/s, this SSD is absolutely stunning. Absolutely zooming along in LightRoom. I purchased one to test and purchased a 2nd one about a week later. Looking forward to a full 4TB SDD machine. SSDs are one of the best ways to improve computer performance for many people.

Better than installing a heatsink and then covering it up like Sony suggest.

I am not a “tech guy” but I found this fairly easy to install in the PS5. Make sure you order the recommended heat sink. Once an installed it, I set all my installs to go to it, and so far have had zero problems playing PS5 games directly from it!

I will buys this again. No mess heat sink fits right on the cover slot. Totally easy installation.

Pair this heatsink with the m.2 of your choice (I used a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB) and your PS5 will thank you. The heatsink is designed to be a perfect fit for the PS5 and replaces the stock metal cover that comes with the console. With other standard heatsinks like you would use in a PC, such as the rectangular one that you can get with the Samsung 980 Pro, you will either have problems getting them to fit or have a gap around the space where the m.2 goes. This heatsink is form-fitted to secure itself to the ssd and also replace the metal cover. This puts the top of the heatsink right up near where the console fan can suck hot air away from it. Its a smart design and it looks very nice and flush with the plastic chassis of the console. Installation is simple, just MAKE SURE to remove the standoff and move it to whichever hole lines up with the correct size of m.2 you bought. It is a silver metal looking washer and it doesnt necessarily pop out automatically so you may think that it is a non-removable part. Just pop it up and then use it with the screw to secure down your memory. This will ensure that the heatsink makes good contact with it. I recommend this heatsink 100%.

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.

I was very impressed at the thickness and material of this for the price. Definitely a must when adding space to your ps5. Recommend
