As Gen 4 SSDs mature, we get a first hand seat in seeing technological advance at its best. To think, it took 10 years to get to data transfer speeds as high as 3.5GB/s with PCIe 3.0, and now it has been just over a year to see the industry double that wi...
The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus is clearly a high-performance NVMe SSD that delivers some of the best performance numbers of any drive on the market today. If you happen to still be on a traditional hard drive or SATA III SSD and move to the Sabrent Rocket 4 Pl...

Sabrent continues to demonstrate that they are the leader when it comes to ultra-high-capacity enthusiast-grade NVMe SSDs. Updating their Rocket 4 Plus SSDs with superior flash has been a welcome silent upgrade, so to speak. It's priced the same as before...
Excellent performance, Exceptional sustained writes from 2TB version, Nice-looking copper color scheme
1TB version ran out of cache before the end of our 450GB write
This drive is a worthy competitor to Samsung's 980 Pro, at least in the 2TB version. The 1TB will run out of juice on very long writes, something the 980 Pro won't do. Regardless for the price, an excellent SSD...

This SSD reminds us of what made Sabrent the go-to brand for enthusiast-level storage in the first place. It performs as good or even better than similarly configured competitor offerings and does so for less money out of pocket. That's a win/win as we se...
