SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD 256GB Internal Solid State 3400MB/s Read, PCIe 3X4 2280, M2 Hard Drive High Performance Compatible with PCs, NUCs Laptops, and Desktops (SB-ROCKET-256)

I have a number of Samsung SATA SSDs and they've always been great. Whilst their NVMe offerings have been getting more competitive on price, I'm not certain their price premium is warranted when it comes to the Ben 3 drives. Sabrent drives have been getting excellent reviews for their performance and that is only enhanced by the competitive prices, backed up by a 5 year warranty, so I was more than happy to make them my first foray into NVMe drives.First up, according to respected reviewers, if you're going to for Gen 4 units then the Samsung 980 Pro is the mack daddy nuts. However it is priced accordingly. Sabrent are reckoned to be almost as good but significantly cheaper, and the same applies here. The drive itself, like all NVMe units, it tiny when you're used to 2.5" form factors and came in a really slinky little metal case which means it was well protected in transit. It was easy to install on my motherboard (Asus Z170 Pro Gaming) and was recognised right away, and the bundled Acronis True Image software was pretty easy to use in order to clone my old boot drive which was running out of space. It's perhaps not quite as good as the Samsung software but easy and quick enough for all but the most demanding users.Once installed the drive performed pretty much bang on the stated specs in a crystal Disk Mark test and I'm pretty sure boot up time has been reduced a little, although that may be my imagination. Still, it shows that if you have an NVMe slot there is no point buying SATA now, the price has come down enough to get excellent and capacious drives for sensible cash. The 5 year warranty and excellent max TBW endurance means I'm confident this will be a worthwhile purchase.

My use: My laptop only had 1 M.2 slot for storage so needed an upgrade to keep up with game installs. Wanted TLC drive that wasn't too power hungry, hot running or chunky (not much space in laptop chassis).The Good: Great value - I paid £189.89 (Retail £249.89 on sale for Prime day (October 2020), at the time there was nothing even close to this for value/performance. TLC memory (which has more durability and performance vs the more common and often cheaper QLC memory - but usually as the cost of more memory modules which takes up more space). Performance was excellent - I was getting the advertised speeds running crystal mark benchmark. M.2 is super easy to install too. My purchase included free access to Acronis (limited version specific to Sabrent drives).The Bad: Please note that this is a doubled sided drive - meaning the memory modules are on both sides of the drive, meaning this drive is thicker than single sided drives - this is a consideration for those with very limited space to install M.2 drives so make that it will fit before purchasing. The drive does not support 512 byte emulation (very technical and not sure I fully understand myself - read up on this to see if/how this applies to you, a few reviews on here have gone into detail) so cloning drives may be an issue. The free Acronis software is really good but will only install on drives the software recognises as a Sabrent drive - this was an issue for me as I needed to install it on my Intel SSD (old drive - 660p 1TB) to be able to clone old drive onto new (Sabrent) drive which was both ironic and frustrating as I was eligible to use the software but wasn't able to - Ended up downloading and using Macrium for free which was super effective and easy to use.Overall: Great performance and value TLC M.2 drive.

I bought this to increase the storage in my Huawei Matebook D 14 2020 from 512gb to 1tb.Given the other reviews and Sabrent product write-up, I was prepared to change the sector size from the default 4k to 512 bytes (I wanted to clone from my old WDC SSD rather than do a clean install). However, after I had initialised the 'disk' and created a single partition drive using Windows 10 "Disk Management", I checked with the Sabrent SSD Control Panel - and sector size was already 512 bytes. Perhaps Sabrent are now doing this conversion for all new SSDs or had Windows done that for me?With a handy NVME caddy, I cloned the old drive with proportional partition resizing using my trusty Paragon Hard Disk Manager 17 (that I normally use for backups). That took all of 5 minutes and I still had all of the original recovery partitions etc. I quickly swapped over the SSDs and did a check that BIOS had picked up the new SSD OK.That was it, and everything burst into life. Its works perfectly with no issues at all. Even when I work the SSD hard, the temperature has never exceeded 42 degC nor does transfer speed slow down during use. CrystalBenchMark (see photo) confirms the drive to run at the impressive advertised speeds (3450/3000Mb/s). It's also a significant improvement over the old WDC SSD it replaced (particularly writes). As such I am extremely pleased and the old SSD is now used for backups in my NVME caddy - a full backup now taking about 5 minutes!I had initially considered getting a Samsung EVO 970 as a replacement SSD. However, that costs £50 more without any significant performance benefits. As the Sabrent Rocket also comes with 5 years warranty (confirmed on product registration), I'm pleased to have saved £50! Time will tell if I made a good decision........

Have been looking at the Sabrent 1Tb NVME for quite a while. at £109.99 it's cheap, I got mine as daily special at £82.49 and at that price it was a no brainer for a second drive to run games from and to use as a Video Editing scratch drive.I installed it had to fiddle a bit to get Windows to recognise it but up and running in about 10 minutes. First thing I did was mirror my Samsung 970 Evo 500 onto the Sabrent and then run identical benchmarks using AS SSD (picture shown). I was blown away at the results, the Sabrent is so much faster, although the Samsung has a much higher sequential throughput, this is down mainly to the Samsung software that uses a portion of the System RAM as a fast Cache. The numbers you need to take note of are the 4K ones really.While the Samsung 970 Evo 500 is anywhere between £91 and £121 the Sabrent 1TB is anywhere between £82 and £109. So double the Capacity on , technically, a faster drive at around 10% below either price point, seriously makes this a no brainer to anyone looking for fast and affordable NVME storage.Once the pricing settles down a bit I will be making my next purchase a 2TB PCIe 4 Sabrent to run as my main drive on my Ryzen 3000.Warranty..... 3 years vs 5 years... really you will be upping capacity well before either of the Samsung or Sabrent will ever be out of Warranty so that should not really be a consideration.Thoroughly impressed with the Sabrent drive, the metal box it arrives in is sturdy as well as being enclosed in a layer of cardboard, then plastic film and finally the Amazon packaging, don't actually think too many of these will be damaged in transit.Stonking 5 Stars, from a long time enthusiast computer nerd.

Just a quick note to say I have a LOT of hard drives incl. I think (top of my head), 7 NVMe's.None of the NVMe drives have failed (I've had Samsung Pro 2.5" SSD's fail on me ... things do fail eventually). I bought a 2TB Sabrent rocket (TLC I think) back in 2019, and a 1TB one in 2021 and I'm not aware of any issues.I also have over 20 5TB Seagate portable 2.5" external drives of various types ... none of those have failed on me yet either despite many of them being on 24/7 (albeit with aggressive sleep modes).I do still have a few working hard drives from the 90's lol. :)Over-all hard drives are amazing pieces of technology. Over the last few decades only a small percentage of mine have died - and mostly in the 90's and noughties. In the 2010's I ended-up giving lots of 1TB and below 3.5" hard drives away as relatively speaking they became too small in capacity to justify (for me) their thirst for energy and volume-space. They still worked without issues. Some of my earlier SSDs from 2009-ish developed faults and died on me. Later ones, later and ongoing in the 2010's seem more reliable.I know (well I think) track 0 on magnetic hard drives never get refreshed? So eventually they'd degausse, I guess, rendering the drive useless even if the mechanisms and solid state stuff still worked. In my experience SSD and magnetic hard drives seem equally viable for long life or sudden death though statistically I think SSD's might wear out earlier? Despite having no moving parts. There are many factors, obviously. Maybe one day I'll be faced with a tide of failure.Anyway.So far (still early days into the warranty period), so good for the solid state Sabrent Rocket. I'm very pleased at what you get for the money.

Due to the evident slowness characterising the starting procedure of my laptop, as mentioned in a previous review, I made the decision to purchase this device. This SSD helps my laptop to start quickly since the above-mentioned laptop is provided for gaming, the SSD under review allowed me to upload the operating system to make it faster than before. Now the operative system takes less than twenty-second to get started: a flash, I dare say, if compared with what I described at the beginning. To be honest, I uploaded on the SSD in question all the programs and applications which are generally serial whenever you buy a laptop; with regard to the most common games, by contrast, I decided to use the hard disk, reserving the space on my SSD for the ones I play more frequently. The price I paid was convenient enough at the time of purchase; however, I found it definitely complicated to install it, the reason why induced me to ask both my father and my cousin for some tips about it because matters of fact, there’s no user manual in the package it’s contained inside. By the way, after more than two years it's still working properly.

I got this drive quite some time ago as I was looking to improve my boot times and loading times for games too.I previously ran of another M.2 drive, but with the slower SATA spec. It's made a bit difference for some tasks, and little differences for others, which exactly what I expected.For booting into windows 10, my computer used to spend around 5 or 10 seconds on the little logo with the spinning circles, then boot. With the new drive, those little circles don't even show up unless I've just installed an update or something. It goes straight from manufacturer logo to log in. Awesome.Games have seen some big gains too, more than I thought. Some games are loading twice as fast, some are 3 or 4 times faster. I've got the Witcher 3 doing fast travel in 3 seconds. I wish I tested the older drive, but it used to be around 10 or 15 seconds from what I recall. Don't even get enough time to grab a biscuit now!For other tasks like day to day browsing, moving through the OS, it's fairly similar, perhaps a little snappier at times. If that's all you do, an NVMe isn't really something you'll see much benefit in, and a standard SSD will do.I'm really happy with this though, it's been in my machine since I picked it up, it's been flawless, seen it's fair share of file transfers, game installs, etc, and it's still going with no signs of slowing down yet. Sabrent wasn't a company I really knew much about when I got this drive, so I was taking a change on it, and I'm happy I did. They've shown them selves to be really competitive if the SSD space, and I'll be picking up one of their rocket SSD's for my next build.

I was on the fence for a long time before buying this, on youtube and review forums and quite honestly a lack of info that i could find on this model. It was bigger/cheaper than the big names your used to, much faster than the cheaper Intel 660p.Upon my research i found out its a reliable company, they sell mainly accessories, caddys, usb hubs, and they get a good rep. They also gave this baby a 5 year warranty which is amazing, must really believe in the product.Installation was easy. 1 SLOT , 1 Screw, Done. Ok there was a little more to it than, i decided i wanted a fresh install on this, so enabled ufei boot mode, and away it went....It installed windows 10 in 6 mins flat, With my instant boot i get 3-4 second boot times. Moving files depending on size varys but saw over the 1500mb write mark on a few occasion. So its not just all theoretical, it performs the way it says on the tin.Packaging was Excellent, no crappy plastic you need a can opener to get through, a nice aluminium box holding this well build piece of kit.Worth every penny. Performance / Price / Warranty. You cannot go wrong.

Fast and reasonably priced. This is a double sided, tlc nvme drive. Double sided nvme drives can have compatibility issues with some devices. I used this on my GPD WIn Max which specifically requires as single sided ssd. I manage to fit this drive with a little finagling and some kapton tape. Works great and fast.

Cuidado con comprar este tipo de cosas aquí, las cosas se descomponen al mes y no hay garantía después de mes.

Can't find a better VFM NVMe SSD than this. This is probably my most "worth it" purchase of 2020.Even on PCIe Gen 3, the read speed is almost 3.1GB/s (see CDM benchmark image) which is absolutely outrageous at this price.Pros:• Brilliant VFM• Brilliant packaging - comes in a cute little metal box which is of really high quality and can be used later for storage of something like your credit cards!• Ridiculous speeds - Read - 3.1GB/s & Write - 1.5GB/sCons:• Only one - No Warranty in India.But still, TOTALLY WORTH IT. Super happy with the purchase.

If you're on a budget and want a reliable M.2 PCI.E drive, this is the one to get, I have been using it for a couple of months now, boot times and app loading is super snappy!Great product.
