Having already reviewed the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus when it came with a different type of NAND on board, a lot of what we felt then remains true because so much of the design and pricing is the same as it was when we looked at it 12 months ago.The Phison E1...

We started this report with a bit of an amusing play on the ole SSD component switch scenario which is all too common but, what Sabrent has done here is not common in any way. They bettered their product and maintained a great price point for what enthusi...
The 2 TB Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus retails for $310, and the PS5 heatsink alone is $20. You can also buy it in a bundle with the Rocket 4 Plus, for $330. Fantastic real-life performance PCI-Express 4.0 Competitive pricing vs. other PCIe 4.0 drives Excellent...

The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus is a fast drive that will provide some of the best experience possible, not only housed inside the PlayStation 5, but also in a fast desktop PC. Phison's E18 controller is exceptionally fast, and the drive acquitted itself very n...

Abstract: Last year Sabrent launched the Rocket 4 Plus PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid-state drive and left me puzzled for months finding that the Linux performance was coming in short of expectations under Linux. However, Sabrent recently released a firmware update (v1.2) for...
Great performance, Copper top sticker helps with heat dissipation, Excellent unboxing experience, 5-year warranty
Must register for warranty, Phison E18 will thermally throttle under heavy writes unless properly cooled
Looking at the results from our tests we can see that the Rocket 4 Plus ranks in the top of the Gen4 NVMe solid state drives that we've tested. That is very much expected as the Phison PS5018-E18 is becoming the standard for this second round of Gen4 driv...

Sabrent has been great at offering a wide selection of options, not just when it comes to capacities but also with drive variations for different workloads. The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus is their third PCIe Gen 4.0 drive and in some ways, it has improved...
Sabrent has done a really good job at offering the highest capacity M.2 drives on the market. They have been able to offer higher capacities than their slower moving competitors that have to wait for the demand to be high enough to offer such a capacity...

We know we're already getting people commenting that the tests we perform are synthetic in nature and not truly reflective of real world usage as when you're loading games there isn't much to choose between a PCIe 4.0 drive and a PCIe 3.0 one. Our respons...
