Sabrent may not be the biggest name in the SSD market, but the company is one of the first to offer a PCIe 4.0 SSD. The new Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs are now available from Amazon and ship within two to three days.

Sabrent Rocket is one of the first PCIe 4.0 SSDs on the market

The Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0 SSD uses the M.2 2280 form factor and the NVMe 1.3 standard. As the product name already suggests, the unit takes advantage of the latest PCIe 4.0 interface, which made its debut on AMD's X570 platform. The SSD's long feature set includes power management support for APST / ASPM / L1.2, SMART and TRIM functions, 'advanced wear leveling' technologies, faulty block management, error correction code, and excess provisioning.

Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0 SSD is made up of three main ingredients, which are Phison's PS5016-E16 SSD controller, Toshiba's 3D NAND BiCS4 96-layer TLC (Triple Level Cell) modules, and an unspecified amount of DDR4 external cache. When installed in a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, the SSD offers sequential read and write speeds of up to 5, 000 MB / s and 4, 400 MB / s, respectively. The converter supports the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. However, when using the unit with a PCIe 3.0 interface, sequential read and write speeds will reach a maximum of 3, 500 MB / s and 3, 400 MB / s, respectively.

The Rocket PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD is available in 1TB and 2TB capacities. The 1TB model costs $ 229.99, which means about 23 cents per gigabyte, while the 2TB model costs 429.99, about 21 cents per gigabyte. The manufacturer also sells an additional package, which includes a $ 20 heat sink.
