SABRENT Rocket 4 Plus SSD with Heatsink 2TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Drive, Extreme Speed, Heat Management [SB-RKT4P-HTSP-2TB]

Speedy boi, both the drive itself and the shipping. Ordered on a Saturday with an expected delivery on Wednesday. Got it on Monday via Fedex. Important info--this seller (Store4PC) is affiliated with Sabrent; they're not a scalper so no need to worry about it being "third-party."As for the drive itself, it's basically the best choice for this size right now (8TB). Nothing else comes close in terms of matching all of the speed, capacity, and at a (sorta kinda) reasonable price point. Sure, you could pick up a HDD at twice the capacity for half the price, but then you have to deal with 20th century tech (primitive nowadays) that is slower than a Ford Model T. Why drive a Model T when you could drive a discount Bugatti SUV?Now, the one downside: Pay attention to the installation instructions. Pay attention to the installation instructions. Pay attention to the installation instructions. This is the first SSD I've had with a heat sink. The instructions said to be sure the SSD was flush against the screw in the housing. I got it within like a hair's distance and thought, "ok that's fine." It was not fine. Tried to install it into the M.2 slot and struggled with it for 5 minutes before remembering that hair's distance. Took the housing completely back apart, re-placed the SSD so it was perfectly flush against the screw, put the housing back together, and put it into the motherboard's M.2 slot on the first try. Boom, I should've learned to actually follow the instructions perfectly.I didn't make that mistake the second time around. Yeah, that's right. This SSD was so good I bought a second one despite it costing me my entire paycheck (I have plenty of leftover rice from the last time I had to dry my system anyway, so no problem). 16TB of glorious NVMe space that can fit all kinds of activities, completely unmatched. I'll probably even buy another one once the next generation of CPUs come out.

Good price, good storage, and it's an SSD, so.. it's fast. Yeah.2 years in, no loss of data. What'd you expect?

The heat sink is really for desktops; it will not fit in a laptop. My bad; I cannot return just the heat sink, so I will sell on eBay. The drive is really, really tiny. Installation in my Lenovo P17 Gen.2 was pretty obvious. I am cloning drive C to the new drive right now.

Finally decided to replace my original system HDD with this SSD. Bought the package w the heat sink. Easy to install w the heat sink. Did a drive clone so I could preserve my HDD no problem. All I can say is I went from a 2-3 min boot time to like a 15 sec boot time. This thing is crazy fast. Same w launching anything local - super quick. So far so good - hopefully it outlasts my pc!

Amazon and Sabrent took $1,234.54 from me for a Sabrent Rocket 4Plus 8TB. I received a fraudulent product and did not become aware of it until after 30 days had passed. Amazon customer service refused to acknowledge or assist with the issue. Sabrent had me mail the SSD to them, they tore the covering off of the circuit board and mailed back the shredded paper with the device stating that it was not their product. Amazon and Sabrent refuse to replace my purchase and have kept my money without providing a genuine product.

It's an excellent drive. I use it for dedicated game storage. It's very fast and reliable.

It took a few tries for me to install...I couldn't install the SSD into the heatsink first bc the copper coils wouldn't let me insert the card all the way. I had to insert the SSD into its slot, and slip the heatsink housing under it...and then the tiny screws were difficult to get to with the SSD already installed.Also, the screw that secures the heat sink to the PS5 housing was too small in diameter...it's holding with only leverage.

I have been using this for 2 years now, and I haven’t ran into a single issue. It’s super fast, especially when booting up and relocating storage.
