Sabrent Rocket 4TB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD Review

Again, we have noted that the usage of TLC NAND is beneficial versus drives which use QLC; not only the MTBF value is noticeably higher, but the sustained write rates do hover at about 1GB/s after the pseudo-SLC cache has been completely filed up, which is good to consider when writing large quantities of data to the drive from a single session.

Packaging, A Closer Look

Another interesting product from Sabrent has reached our test lab and to be more exact we are talking about the Rocket NVMe SSD, with the capacity of no less than 4TB! This is a NVMe 1.3 compliant product, with APST/ASPM/L1.2 power management support and was designed to function on a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface; in terms of sizing, we are happy to report that we are dealing with the standard 2280 format, compatible with most machines.

 

The manufacturer does report a 3450/3000 MB/s sequential read/write speed rating, while the product is shipped inside a very compact, sealed cardboard enclosure, highlighting the inclusion of the Acronis True Image Cloning software, downloadable from the Sabrent website:

On the side, we will be informed of the full product name, along with its code name:

 

 

 

The back side does reveal another shot of the product, which is accompanied by a web resource address and the serial number:

 

 

 

After removing the top packaging layer, we will note that the drive is held secure inside an aluminum enclosure, with the two halves held together by the middle sticker:

 

 

 

 

The drive is also accompanied by an Installation Guide:
