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

It offers a marginal performance improvement over the 8TB variant of the Sabrent Rocket Q, which comes at the cost of decreased endurance, sitting right at the 1,600TB mark. Still the general consumer hasn't even adapted to the 4tb NVMe capacity yet so having 8tb at this point seems pointless and expensive.

The Rocket Q NVMe SSD delivers amazing speeds, unmatched reliability, and capacity options up to 8TB. SSDs have just hit the market, though for the moment they're really for enthusiast tier desktops and not much else. Well, if you don't really care about speed, then you stand to gain lots of money by opting for the P34A60.The display of third-party trademarks and trade names on this site does not necessarily indicate any affiliation or the endorsement of PCMag. slots on new motherboards will be built to support the larger Type-25110 format (25mm by 110mm), so we may well see PCIe 5.

SATA SSD, like the Samsung 860 series or WD Blue 3D, but those drives are limited to about 4TB and are slower than NVMe SSDs. Each die interfaces at a speed of up to 666 MTps, roughly half the speed of Samsung’s and SK hynix’s latest flash.

You don't want to bring home one of the fastest consumer drives available, only to find your system won't boot with it installed. NVMe is another technicalhurdle to consider,because systems and motherboards need board-level support for these drives to be bootable.

It dominated our PCMark 10 and 3DMark Storage benchmark testing, setting several new records in the process. If you opt for the big bad 8TB model, you can still get very good endurance coverage during the five-year warranty, though.I would personally go with Solidigm's P41 Plus or Crucial's P3 Plus or even Samsung's 970 EVO Plus, but the P34A60 is by no means unusable. Under the hoods of the skinniest laptops,and in the hollows of the latest desktop-PC motherboards, solid-state storage has undergone a transformation.

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus is available in 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities with an endurance rating of 150 TBW, 300 TBW, 600 TBW, and 1,200 TBW, respectively. The good thing about this drive is that it has a super low cost per GB, and its endurance is pretty high at 600TBW for the 1TB model and 1,200 for the 2TB model. It packs a lot of performance while taking up a smaller footprint on the PCB, enabling the single-sided form factor at this capacity.
