SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD 512GB Internal Solid State 3400MB/s Read, PCIe 3.0 X4 2280, M2 Hard Drive High Performance Compatible with PCs, NUCs Laptops, and Desktops (SB-ROCKET-512)

I have a number of Samsung SATA SSDs and they've always been great. Whilst their NVMe offerings have been getting more competitive on price, I'm not certain their price premium is warranted when it comes to the Ben 3 drives. Sabrent drives have been getting excellent reviews for their performance and that is only enhanced by the competitive prices, backed up by a 5 year warranty, so I was more than happy to make them my first foray into NVMe drives.First up, according to respected reviewers, if you're going to for Gen 4 units then the Samsung 980 Pro is the mack daddy nuts. However it is priced accordingly. Sabrent are reckoned to be almost as good but significantly cheaper, and the same applies here. The drive itself, like all NVMe units, it tiny when you're used to 2.5" form factors and came in a really slinky little metal case which means it was well protected in transit. It was easy to install on my motherboard (Asus Z170 Pro Gaming) and was recognised right away, and the bundled Acronis True Image software was pretty easy to use in order to clone my old boot drive which was running out of space. It's perhaps not quite as good as the Samsung software but easy and quick enough for all but the most demanding users.Once installed the drive performed pretty much bang on the stated specs in a crystal Disk Mark test and I'm pretty sure boot up time has been reduced a little, although that may be my imagination. Still, it shows that if you have an NVMe slot there is no point buying SATA now, the price has come down enough to get excellent and capacious drives for sensible cash. The 5 year warranty and excellent max TBW endurance means I'm confident this will be a worthwhile purchase.

I've been very impressed by the Crystal Disk Mark reports I've seen in other reviews and since I was in need of some budget friendly NVME drives, I took a shot here and a good shot it was! This is my second Sabrent product now (the first being an NVME enclosure funnily enough) and yet again, I am pleasantly surprised. It may be that Sabrent is popular in the US and Canada, but I for one hadn't heard of them until recently, and for a brand that (at least to my knowledge) has just started popping up on the UK marketplace, they're blowing the competition out of the water. Samsung EVO speeds at half the price, enough said!As always, Sabrent impresses with their presentation, very nice, clean and just informative enough packaging and tiny little metal cases for the drives. Even included a useful manual (for those that may need it). As for my personal experience with the drives, I've purchased these to use as a SSD Cache for a Synology DS918+ NAS running a few applications (PLEX being a main one) in the hopes of speeding up response/load times (cover image loading, etc) and I can't complain. The drives work exactly as expected and already my PLEX front end is a lot nicer to use (spinning drives are just sooooo slow). And for those out there with a similar use case, I've even noticed snappier skipping through a movie (once it has been cached of course).All in all, great product, not much more to say, nothing to complain about, highly recommended especially given the outrageous value. Worth every penny!

If you're looking for best bang for your buck in terms of both performance and £ per GB for your NVME solution, this is the drive you'll want. It costs almost the same as it's Intel drive counterpart, but offers nearly double the read/write speeds, and offers around 80% of the speeds that the very fastest generation 3 NVME drives can offer. It's a very good value compromise between those two metrics.For now, to get the most out of the performance these drives can give, you'll need to be dealing with a lot of large single file transfers, or work with HD/4k video & other media material. If you plan on having this for only gaming purposes, it will speed up things like install and game loading times, but it will not improve your frames per second rate or anything like that. For now, you will mostly get the same value and performance from a regular SSD, of course, NVME drives have a much smaller profile inside your PC case, so that may be another factor you might want to consider. I've tried running Witcher 3 on this drive and it loads pretty much instantly, and loading a saved game is exceptionally quick.I do work with large video/media files, and these drives have a super-fast cache that amounts to usually 20% of the overall size of the drive, so around 400GB of the 2TB drives I have, with my USB 3.0 media backup drives, I can get a data transfer speed of nearly 2GB/second for the first 400GB or so of data I transfer, so using them is very quick and painless.5 year warranty on offer provided you register with Sabrent within 90 days of purchase. Tech support with them has been speedy & courteous when I've dealt with them, and firmware for the drive can always be upgraded even if the drive has data on it, as the software is stored on a separate chip on the drive.Great kit for those that will look to make the most of it, just make sure before buying that you'll be doing tasks that will allow you to use high speeds it to the fullest. I'm sure in a short few years, more games and other apps will get tailored to work at the ultra-high speeds these drives can operate at.

Received super quick. Easy to install. Incredibly fast drive. I love it!

Excelente!!!

i am very happy with my purchase, ive been using this drive for my OS and gaming, windows boots in seconds with this drive and ive had no stability issues, i'm using this drive on an ASUS prime x570-p motherboard with no heatsink/spreader, haven't seen temps climb too high and haven't had any throttling for what i'm using it for.read and write speeds are as advertised.i've only had this drive for a week so i can't speak to its long term stability/durability.the only negative i can say for this drive is the management software feels a little barebones, it gives you all of the information you'd want on the drive but the software is missing a bit of polish. not really a big negative it does what it needs to.

Tenia dudas por la velocidad de la unidad NVMe por que no hay mucha información ni datos de pruebas en su uso, me sorprendió el rendimiento que tiene la versión de 512GB, vengo de un SSD SATA 6.0Gb y se nota el diferencia y mas cuando se hacen copiado de archivos grandes, en reposo se mantiene en 30-33 grados en copiado de archivos sube a 55 grados, no trae disipador pasivo en PC no lo necesita del todo es mas bien por estética con que este bien ventilado es suficiente, en portátiles si es necesario que se lo instalen, por el precio se puede comprar aparte tampoco trae tornillos esos los debe de traer tu equipo, también recomiendo que lo registren en la pagina de Sabrent para la garantía es súper fácil.
