Review on ๐Ÿ’ฅ High Performance Sabrent 500GB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD with Heatsink (SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-HTSK-500) by Byron Forman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's fast, running at PCIe gen speeds in my x570 master.

This is for the Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe 4.0 Gen4. without cooler. It's actually a very good device, and at the time of my purchase it was $50-$60 cheaper than the Aorus or Corsair Gen4 SSD versions - they also use the same Phison PS5016-E16 SSD controller, Toshiba 96-layer TLC BiCS4 (three-level cell) NAND. Sabrent also offers a 5-year warranty (you need to register it). I have the heatsinkless version because I'm using a board with an NVMe socket heatsink. The drive will deliver the speed advertised on the box for both Gen4 and Gen3. If you take this device and don't have a motherboard with x570 chipset (the only chipset that currently supports PCIe gen4), you can still use it on a 3rd gen board and it will perform slightly better in comparison to the current 3rd generation ride. At least that was my experience. The packaging was nice, filled with foam, well protected and chic - not what I expected. I'll be getting at least one more soon, probably 2TB. And it comes from a Samsung NVMe fanatic. It was foam filled, well protected and sleek - not what I expected. I'll be getting at least one more soon, probably 2TB.

Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
