Review on 💾 Sabrent Rocket Pro 1TB NVMe External Aluminum SSD | USB 3.1 Interface (SB-1TB-NVME) by Joe Michels

Perfect for local Veeam backups and ad hoc file transfers, this drive is hands down the fastest external USB drive I've ever used. The attached video shows a folder with five large ISO and EXE files totaling 4.43GB being copied to the Rocket Pro in about 16 seconds at an average transfer rate of about 322MB/s. It comes with a USB 3.1 connector, so it's supposedly the fastest drive that can work, but even on USB 2/USB 1 systems, the drive's read speeds are excellent. The drive's machined aluminum body feels solid and well-built. , and while it behaves like a heatsink, I didn't feel the case at any temperature other than room temperature, even after a 45-minute DiskMark stress test. I agree that the included cable isn't the highest quality I've seen, but it doesn't feel cheap either. A USB-A connector is handy as it's fully backwards compatible with older systems I work with. I've demonstrated this to several colleagues (someone geeks) and they're all thrilled with the performance for the price. .
