REAL WORLD FILE TRANSFER COMPARISON
We have put the Sabrent Rocket Q NVMe SSD beside the best in the business for our true to life data testing. In this test, we simply place 15GB files representing music, video, pictures and operating systems onto the target drive. We then copy each file from one place on the target disk to another, recording the time taken for the transfer.
The Sabrent Rocket NVMe SSD placed sits right up there in No. 3 spot, even beating out a PCIe 4.0 SSD. Great results.
REVIEW ANALYSIS AND FINAL THOUGHTS
If you are looking for a powerful SSD that can take on out of the ordinary tasks, the Sabrent Rocket NVMe SSD fits the bill. But that is key to it all isn’t it? Knowing what you need the SSD for. Where TLC NAND flash memory used to be a value level memory, today has brought it’s performance right up there with the best. Where should this SSD be used? The Sabrent Rocket NVMe SSD is a content creators dream. We can see that in our true testing scenario where it is moving large photo, music and video files… very quickly. It also fits right in there with business needs as well as the enthusiast looking for the biggest and baddest.
The Sabrent Rocket is a NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 SSD capable of reaching just under 3.5GB/s read and 3GB/s write with up to 700k IOPS. It is available worldwide in several capacities, however, the 4TB version we tested today is truly cream of the crop. Pricing at this capacity might seem high but its actually not bad at .20/GB. It has a five-year warranty and its performance is some of the best we have seen yet.
Prices are still ridiculous. For 532 dollars I get the: 4TB small ADATA XPG Spectrix S40G. For the rest of the money you would spend on the Sabrent, you can buy a lot of ice cream.
This is why I specifically address the fact that the buyer needs to understand his needs with respect to the task at hand. What do you need your SSD to do? Specific to whic SSD, we are late to the game in this review and it has already shown great sales and a great reputation from its purchasers.
Where are you finding that for $532? Newegg’s price is $799.
The Sabrent Rocket SDDs will only have the 5 year warranty if you actually register it through their website with proof of purchase receipt from a retailer or online retailer. Register it within the first month because the warranty offered starts on the day of purchase, so they warranty it during period it is being shipped to you from the retailer. I’ve just done the registration the other day so it’s still a fresh memory.
I just bought the 4 TB off of Newegf it should get here by Monday (August 3rd, 2020)
I already have the 2TB version of this SSD for my non Steam games. So I’m excited for it to arrive.
Not a fan of this brand, bought two 1tb M.2 drives and have had nothing but Drive C errors. Sending both back to manufacturer. Horrible, I work from home and the system gets laggy and crashes, after rebooting Event Viewer says repairing Drive C…
