I'd absolutely recommend this SSD IF your PC has a built in M.2 heatsink. A lot of motherboard do have M.2 heatsinks so it would be great for a desktop. If you are going to put this component into a laptop, I strongly advise against it. It will drain your battery and heat it up. I have purchased 3 of these at 500gb, 1tb and this 2tb model, they all run just as hot.

Got it on time, inserted it, copied data on it and it worked flawlessly. Weird was: After copying all data on it (had to do it twice which ammounted to around 6T of data writes) the CrystalDiskInfo tool claimed that the health status is 96% - which would indicate a quite drastic decline? Even more puzzling is that the tool claims that the drive was powered on 1677 times. This would mean that I would have turned the drive off and on every 10 minutes since I got it. That totally makes no sense. The packaging was intact (there were all the usual stickers on the wrapper and the wrapper was undamaged. Really odd. A piece of advice: The drive comes with a thin metal/thermal sticker. That in itself might however not be enough. Monitor the temperature at the beginning of ...

If you start off with 55C and reach even quickly over 60C you are in trouble. Consider adding some thermal pad & cooler which will immediately reduce the temperature by 15-20C and your device will thank you later for it!

Got this Sabrent Rocket Q4 NVMe becuz it was on sale for the 2TB for $239.99 and it tested out in my benchmark higher than my Samsung 980 Pro NVMe, surprised it even scored better than my SK Hybix Gold P31 NVMe (great NVMe overlooked by most). Been using it as a program drive to hold all my software and games; keeping the primary drive (windows OS Drive) clean and running as fast as possible. When it comes time to replace primary drive (windows OS Drive), defiantly will be looking for a sale on the Sabrent Rocket Q4 NVMe. Normally I would wait one or two year before making any reviews on HHDs or SSDs but this NVMe is turning out to be the best I have tried so far.

I usually don't write reviews but I was so impressed how simple it was to set up and copy my old drive. I was skeptical at first when I saw some of the negative reviews but the instructions was very straight forward and to download and copy my old was a breeze. I did it all in 40 mins, I highly recommend
I installed this drive as my c: drive in a new build on a ASUS Prime TRX40 board with an AMD 3960X, along with a WD 1TB PCIE 3.0 stick as my d: drive. Windows installed fine but about 70% of the time, when I tried to boot, I would get a no boot drive error message. I tried clearing the CMOS, updating the BIOS, reseated the devices in their m.2 slot, but was still getting this weird inconsistent behavior. I thought maybe there was some weird hardware incompatibility issues or BIOS settings issue, so I did some internet searching and saw that many other people had the same issue with this Savrent nvme stick. I tried all of the Internet guidance, as did other people, tweaking and changing various UEFI and OS settings in the BIOS without success. To be clear, the BIOS ...

I tried all of the Internet guidance, as did other people, tweaking and changing various UEFI and OS settings in the BIOS without success. To be clear, the BIOS recognizes the drive and will boot from the drive if I boot it from the boot menu of the BIOS, it just would not boot from it upon normal power up. The only solution was to replace the Sabrent drive per the Internet, so it seems that there is a significant percentage of subpar products that might pass Sabrent internal QC systems but exhibit this weird behavior, that is resolved with just getting a replacement. As a last resort, I wiped out both drives and reinstalled windows from from scratch with only the Sabrent. That solved it, but it still doesnt explain the wonky drive detection in the bios.
In the fervor of the PS5 and XSX showcasing the power of ultra-fast PCIe4.0 M.2 SSDs, I decided that my next build was going to completely abandon all classic mechanical HDDs and SATA SSDs in favor of the closest M.2 SSDs to this new standard I could manage. I needed to find a high capacity, very fast storage medium for a reasonable price. Enter the Sabrent Rocket Q4. I designed my build-out from the ground up focused around having 6 GB of storage using 3 of the 2 TB versions of this exact drive. I cannot adequately express the effect of the amazing 4800 Mbps read, 3600 Mbps write speed of the Sabrent Rocket Q4 on a PCIe4.0 board! I have been astonished at the quality of life change nearly zero loading time gives! I found myself replaying Crysis 2 with less than 10 ...

I cannot adequately express the effect of the amazing 4800 Mbps read, 3600 Mbps write speed of the Sabrent Rocket Q4 on a PCIe4.0 board! I have been astonished at the quality of life change nearly zero loading time gives! I found myself replaying Crysis 2 with less than 10 second load times and Doom Eternal and a lot of classic RPGs which are practically instant and maximizing my valuable and highly limited gaming time instead of staring at load screens! The last time I experienced a fundamental technology shift of this magnitude was in 1998 when Quake 2 came out and demonstrated with 3Dfx the first colored lighting, an act which finally allowed 3D to go on par with and far surpass 2D graphics. The "wow" factor was immediately evident and I am feeling the same thing from these amazing drives! For the rest of the build I paired a 3 M.2 2280 slot board (Gigabyte x570 AORUS Master w/ Ryzen 9 3900XT) with 32 GB RAM and currently a GTX 1070ti (RTX 3080 in my future) with 32 GB of DDR4-3600 to fit under my Noctua NH-D15 cooler. Having storage so fast it is potentially bottlenecked by RAM is mindblowing and a clear testament to the progress of today! Overall, this is an absolutely fabulous investment and I am completely satisfied! I highly, highly recommend these drives to experience the same joy!
I've had my eye on one of these for a long time, but the price was just too high. Then my work gave me a laptop with an SSD, and I saw how fast I was, I decided to get one for myself. The price is still a little steep, but not too long ago they were still in the thousands.
I noticed a rather significant performance boost with the regular Rocket vs the Q. Also when cache fills it slows down much more. Although the stated read and write speed are very similar, once the cache fills the faster better made Rocket 2TB is much faster in larger file transfers. The 5 year warranty of the other drive make this drive questionable. Always register with Sabrent.
Make certain to look at the back of the drive and record the serial number before install, you will need it to register the drive. After installing the drive I entered BIOS to make certain the drive showed up, it did. After entering Windows 10 I opened Computer Management, Disk Management and formatted the drive I ran CrystalDiskMark7 x64 and the drive yielded the following performance [Seq block size 1 MiB, Ran Block Size 4 KiB]: Seq Q8T1: Read 3429, Write 3057 Seq Q1T1: Read 1776, Write 2232 Ran Q8T8: Read 1256, Write 1928 Ran Q1T1: Read 34, Write 160 I used the above because normal desktop uses seldom goes beyond Q8, including gaming. Compared to my 1TB Samsung 970 EVO this Sabrent drive was a little slower with reads except Random Q1T1 where it was a little ...

Compared to my 1TB Samsung 970 EVO this Sabrent drive was a little slower with reads except Random Q1T1 where it was a little faster and faster in writes except a little slower in Sequential Q1T1. When comparing numbers drive size matters and larger drives are faster than smaller ones, however those read & write numbers for this Sabrent drive are good for a 2TB drive at this price. My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master, CPU is an Intel i9 9900KS.
I have many ssd's that are working well. I have Samsung, HP and Crucial ssd's with no problem at all. This is my first Sabrent ssd that is DEAD!!! This is a brick and I will not ever buy from this company again. This is a brick of S..T. I will take this ssd as a loss and will not try to send back to the company because I don't want the excessive pain and anger over dung. I suggest to everyone to use a known company like Samsung, HP, Crucial or other known company and to read reviews for this. I would also tell people to get a better ssd which will be around the same price with better specifications overall. I am done with Sabrent and will never buy another product from them. I thought I could put this into my high end system with great results and I would give this ... MoreI have many ssd's that are working well.

This will go to the recycling center for waste.
