Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 2TB SSD Review

Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2022-03-16

The winning solution we have also found with the Neo Forza NFP425 2TB has been also implemented inside the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, incorporating the Phison PS5018-E18 8-channel controller, 2GB of DDR2666 RAM for caching but also Micron’s 176-layer 3D TLC as eight separate ICs. The two models trade punches in most of the tests, no matter if we do talk about an empty or more than half filled drive. The drive can sustain a constant high write speed when working with large quantities of data and if we’ll leave it to recover for a short period of time, it will be in top shape in no time!

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

In this review we will concentrate our view upon another M.2 SSD from Sabrent, but now taking part of their high-end segment: the Rocket 4 Plus. The drive is available with capacities of 500GB, 1TB, 2TB or even 4TB, while being PCIe 4.0 / NVMe 1.3 compliant, while the maximum read speeds are rated at about 7000MB/s, while the writes at about 6850MB/s.

For situations where airflow is a real problem, we can purchase separately the Sabrent Rocket NVMe Heatsink, which will prolong the life of the drive but also avoid throttling.

The Rocket 4 Plus is delivered inside a very compact cardboard enclosure, which shows a photo of the main product, the compatible bus but also the total storage space:

On the back side, we will note a link to online resources but also the product code name and serial number:

Attention of detail is present with this product as well! With the top cardboard layer removed, we will spot an aluminum casing, sporting the same color scheme as the drive. The casing is composed of two parts, which are joined together by a large sticker (which acts as a hinge):

Inside, we will find the User’s Manual but also the drive, sitting inside a molded protective material:
