SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD 8TB Gen 4, Internal Solid State 7100MB/s Read, PCIe 4.0 M2 Hard Drive for Gamers, Compatible with PlayStation 5, PS5 Console, PCs, NUC Laptops and Desktops (SB-RKT4P-8TB)

Product Information

iometer is an advanced and highly configurable storage benchmarking tool that vendors often use to measure the performance of their devices. The drive has quite affected my day-to-day computer use with its high speeds and massive storage capacity, which I elaborate on below.

If you’re in the market for a fast, reliable SSD and you’re okay with a potential heat sink purchase and slightly higher power demands, I’d wholeheartedly recommend the SABRENT 8TB Rocket 4 Plus. The Rocket Q NVMe SSD delivers amazing speeds, unmatched reliability, and capacity options up to 8TB. The 8TB Rocket Q fell back when we pushed harder with PCMark 10’s Full system Drive benchmark, though. Then came triple-level cell and now quad-level cell, and there is even the spectre of penta-level cell on the horizon too. Couple that with different coupons that you can collect, and you'll be getting a really good deal on ssd 8tb nvme.

Like the ES, it doesn't make the TT Elite list, but it does outperform exceptionally well for what it is, making it the world's best performing 8TB consumer SSD.

An 8TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD capable of this level of consistent performance, and with the positive track record of Sabrent does appear to be a strong value for money for those looking for a high-performance SSD in this class.I don’t take screenshots of the iometer results, I log them and sort through the raw data to chart it instead.

Versatile Use: Whether it’s for a workstation, gaming setup, or even the PS5, this SSD covers all bases with comfort to spare. I did not encounter any heat-related speed throttling problems, something that I did observe with past Samsung SSDs. Intel’s Optane SSD 905P delivers the fastest game load times, but Adata’s SM2262EN-powered XPG SX8200 Pro and Samsung’s 970 EVO Plus both give it a good run for its money with total game load times under 10 seconds. This is quite dense for TLC but has been seen before and will be again; flash is only getting denser as the layer count increases.

I opted to long-term test the 8TB Rocket 4 Plus as an active workload and storage drive for a couple of months, focusing not only on game installs but also media and my Lightroom catalog, which currently sits at 2. When you’re looking at storage solutions that are cheaper per gigabyte, they don’t come close to the performance of this beast.

the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has launched the industry’s highest capacity NVMe solid state drive (SSD) based on the incredibly small Next-generation Small Form Factor (NGSFF)* – an eight-terabyte (TB) NF1** SSD. The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 8TB SSD comes with the Sabrent typical 2-year limited warranty which is bumped to 5-years when you register your SSD, a rather smart move we think that hasn’t caught on with other manufacturers. The most likely is a combination that the Phison PS5018-E18 controller firmware has not been optimized for this amount of NAND and the BiCS5 part isn’t as high-performance as the Micron. Time will tell how the SABRENT 8TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe SSD holds up, but like many others in the tech community, I’m cautiously optimistic that this SSD will join the ranks of storage workhorses that you set and forget – precisely because they just keep on ticking.If you’re in the market for top shelf speed and capacity, it’s tough to ignore the allure of the SABRENT 8TB Rocket 4 Plus.
