SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD 8TB Gen 4, Internal Solid State 7100MB/s Read, PCIe 4.0 M2 Hard Drive for Gamers, Compatible with PlayStation 5, PS5 Console, PCs, NUC Laptops and Desktops (SB-RKT4P-8TB)

Product Information

The company is redefining the worlds of TVs, smartphones, wearable devices, tablets, digital appliances, network systems, and memory, system LSI, foundry and LED solutions. All in all, while there are faster drives in some specific metrics, in day-to-day use, you’d be hard-pressed to tell much of a difference. These compromises suggest a bigger focus on production efficiency (density and yield), which explains the 1Tb dies used here. The Rocket Q wasn’t as fast at copying large files as the Samsung 970 EVO Plus, Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4. When it comes to the durability and reliability of storage solutions, the SABRENT 8TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe SSD stands out in my personal setup.

seanwebster said:They have had Rocket 4 Plus capacities ranging from 500GB-4TB since before the release of this 8TB model. Remember to check back daily for new updates with the wide selection of ssd, you're bound to find a couple of options you will like! Sector Size Flexibility: The option to reformat and select between 512 bytes or 4K bytes sector sizes is a huge plus.

Then came triple-level cell and now quad-level cell, and there is even the spectre of penta-level cell on the horizon too. If you have a Z790 board and use a Gen 5 SSD, then you may lose functionality of PCIe slots entirely. Old skool thought is that I need many drives for better performance but these new M2 SSD seem very fast. The new 8TB NVMe NF1 SSD has been optimized for data-intensive analytics and virtualization applications in next-generation data centers and enterprise server systems.

Jumping straight in, the SABRENT 8TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe SSD is an absolute beast when it comes to performance and speed.The drive shifts into lower power states at idle, too, consuming just mWs of power compared to the watts of power an HDD sucks down. Gen 2 for this reason, as using a any of the lower bank of SATA ports disables those ports as the lower M. Would one of these on an external drive USB-C (Mac mini intel) handle both project audio and sample libraries? It is no secret that one of Sabrent’s top weapons in the storage world is the Rocket 4 Plus which has been around for some time now. For fellow tech enthusiasts wondering about the practicality of such speeds, let me just say that whether you’re transferring large video files, shuffling through high-resolution images, or gaming, the experience is noticeably smoother.

The 8TB Rocket Q fell back when we pushed harder with PCMark 10’s Full system Drive benchmark, though. But it's still a pretty chunky graphics card, so still feels like you're getting something tangible for your cash.If you are not sure what speed your drives are running at with everything connected, then simply checking the BIOS/UEFI under the drive details pages should show information on the speed/lanes utilised. This is, in fact, also a crucial bit of information when comparing to QLC of the same density that will have twice the planes and CuA in place. Internal SSD Extreme Performance Solid State Drive (SB-RKT4P-4TB) delivers all the advantages of flash disk technology with PCIe Gen4. Back in December last year, we had a world exclusive preview of Sabrent's highly anticipated Rocket 4 Plus 8TB in pre-production ES form. Now they've upped the game once again, going where no one has gone before, 8 terabytes of TLC storage capable of 7,300 MB/s throughput and offering a mind-blowing 6 petabytes endurance.

Our testing process for these benchmarks fills the entire drive surface with data, then partitions a drive section equal to 5% of the drive capacity to simulate how the drive might respond to application workloads. Sabrent have confirmed to us that a new version is in the works, but a definitive release date is unknown.

I also had trouble getting the custom version of Acronis to successfully clone an OS SSD to either Sabrent drive for use as a boot drive. Random read performance is the metric that most impacts overall user experience, and it's up by 9% over the ES, which is nice to see. I did notice a significant boost, although remember, you need a compatible motherboard to reach those peak speeds. This sits directly behind --and is completely blocked by-- the RTX 4090, so heat soak is expected since no airflow gets to such a tight space given the size of a 4090 cooler as shown below.
