Review on Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 Certified M by David Bott

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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

This is for 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 Gen4 SSD versions of Aorus or Corsair - 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 listed on the box for both Gen4 and Gen3 (currently supports PCIe gen4), you can still use it on a 3rd gen board. generation and it offers slightly better performance compared to the current 3rd generation drive. 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.
