Conclusion
Blazing-fast sequential speed is backed by top-notch all-round performance...A relative newcomer to the upper echelons of PCIe NVMe storage, Sabrent sets the bar high with its range of Rocket drives. Taking full advantage of the extra M.2 bandwidth on offer from AMD's latest processors and chipsets via PCIe 4.0, the 1TB model blitzes the competition by winning every benchmark.
Blazing-fast sequential speed is backed by top-notch all-round performance, and we're unlikely to see a fundamentally faster drive until the next generation of hardware arrives. Naturally attracting a hefty premium over entry-level PCIe 3.0 models, Sabrent's pricing still remains very competitive against other models featuring the Phison E16 controller and fast NAND. And if your motherboard can take it, the option of a high-quality heatsink adds to the overall proposition.
We'd strongly urge Sabrent to cover the drive with a five-year warranty without the need for registration, but other than that, there's every reason to consider it for power users invested in the latest AMD platforms.
