Review on Sabrent 2TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal SSD | Extreme Performance Solid State Drive | R/W 7100/6600MB/s | SB-RKT4P-2TB by Tyler Suarez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fast but random reads are not up to the norm

Bought the day it was available from Revain (I already had a WD SN850). We've been using it for 2 weeks now. As others have pointed out (and as expected), this thing is very fast on sequential read/writes. This is faster than the WD SN850 in terms of sequential operations. My only complaint is the random poor quality reads, which is definitely noticeable in day-to-day use (e.g. Windows 10 boot time is about 2 seconds slower compared to my WD SN850, same situation). with gaming loads, etc.). I decided to keep it because the value proposition is great and I can tolerate small hits in performance. The packaging of the product is thought out to the smallest detail. Another little thing I liked was the pulsing pattern of the HDD activity LED. The Sabrent will flash the HDD activity LED just like a traditional hard drive (you may see both short and long pulses depending on how active your hard drive is). In contrast, the LED on the WD SN850 simply flashes at regular intervals regardless of hard drive activity. It's a small thing, but I like the Sabrent better!
