Sabrento, over the years, it has proven to be a brand reliable and from the products of everything respect, like the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, allowing them to position several of their products among the best NVMe SSDs on the market.
But today we are going to do the review of Sabrent Rocket da 2tb, for an Nvme 3.0 which has been on the market for a few years now and which has represented for the US brand one of its first turning points.
Will he be able to keep forehead to the last found again in terms of SSD technology? How to will entail in writing and reading? Let's find out together!
Sabrent Rocket 2TB • Technical specifications
Il Sabrent Rocket da 2 terabyte (as well as versions with less storage) is based on PCIE 3.0 technology.
This means you can use it smoothly on any type of gaming setup without worry of any cali in banda o di performance, as always as long as put it on in the Nvme slot closer Alla CPU.
Compared to a Nvme based on PCIe 4.0, however, we must keep in considerazione that this SSD will not perform the same: Sabrent indicates that the speed of reading is equal to 3400MBPS (Megabyte Per Second), while that of writing a 2750MBPS.
The 2 terabyte Sabrent Rocket is based on a controller Phison E12S, quite common for Nvme 3.0, while the memories are NAND BiCS 96L TLC di kioxia, a little dated but still perfectly fine valid.
As with many other products of Sabrento, this Nvme mounts a processor dual core Arm Cortex R5 a 32 bit and is available in different versions: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, 2TB and 4TB.
Read and write speeds vary according to the size of the NVMe you are going to buy: for convenience, here is a comparison table.
| SSD size | Label speed |
| 256GB | 3100/1050 MB/s (Seq. Read/Write) |
| 512GB | 3400/2000 MB/s (Seq. Read/Write) |
| 1TB | 3400/3000 MB/s (Seq. Read/Write) |
| 2TB | 3400/2700 MB/s (Seq. Read/Write) |
| 4TB | 3450/3000 MB/s (Seq. Read/Write) |
Finally the guarantee: the produttore guarantees the correct functioning of the product for two years, which you can extend to five by registering it on the official website of Sabrent.
Sabrent Rocket 2tb • Test e benchmark
As always, in these cases, we ran several tests for the Sabrent Rocket review using the most common programs to check how SSDs perform: CrystalDiskMark, ATTO Disk Benchmark e Anvil’s Storage Utilities.
You will then find one below analysis detailed of test that we have conducted and a comparison with the others Nvme that we have reviewed, where we will obviously focus on the challenge between PCIe 3.0!
Sabrent Rocket 2tb • CrystalDiskMark
This tool developed independently is now a great classic: the first test could only be done with CrystalDiskMark.
In particular we see the test more simple: the one with a 1GB transfer repeated several times, twice with speed sequential and and two random, both in reading and in writing.
According to a CrystalDiskMark, it Sabrent Rocket respects as declared by produttore without too many problems, and indeed in writing exceeds well 300 MB the speed of label.
THENVME ranks on the level of the Crucial P5, considered by many to be one sweetspot in terms of M2 PCIE 3.0, as regards the data reading chart, while it is detaches of a good one 300MBPS in writing, positioning itself at the same level as the Goodram IRDM.
Sabrento then he plays it with Crucial as for the palm of NVME 3.0 faster, leaving aside i newer models which undoubtedly present an unattainable quality / price ratio.
Sabrent Rocket 2tb • ATTO Disk Benchmark
So let's move on to ACT Disk Benchmark, which deals with analyzing the transfer of packages data of various sizes and draw one chart da 512 byte a 64mb.
In graphic let's see the behavior from 4 kilobytes a 4 megabyte, generally the range in which the Nvme they are squeezed more.
Like the older brother Rocket Plus, the Rocket proves itself extremely stable in the range we have analyzed, but also reaching up to heavy writing come a 64mb.
Here too the challenge is substantially with Goodram IRDM which, presents performance very similar both in reading in that writing, with differences minime.
However, we must remember that this Nvme it is easily available on any site that sells computer products, while, as written in the Goodram IRDM review, the latter is difficult to find.
Furthermore, for a difference of just 10 euros, theSSD Nvme loses comparison with the Sabrent Rocket Q4 always produced in house Sabrent, which has much better performances, at a low price difference.
Sabrent Rocket 2tb • Anvil’s Storage Utilities
We come to one analysis extremely detailed of the nvme thanks to Anvil’s Storage Utilities, which draws a score also based on operational and IOPS latencies, the input / output performance per second.
Once again we see a Nvme which performs well in both reading in that writing, totaling a score of 17791 which puts it in front of the Goodram IRDM.
In short, the Sabrent Rocket still fight for the palm of best Nvme 3.0, although, as we wrote at the beginning, it has been available for quite some time.
Sabrent Rocket 2tb • Conclusions
This review of Sabrent Rocket ends with a considerazione: now they can be found Nvme 4.0 to a price definitely accessible, as the Crucial P5 Plus (see on amazon) which, in its 2 TB version, costs about 20 euros more than the Sabrent Rocket but offers performance more in line with our times.
If, on the other hand, you want a top-of-the-range gaming setup that can take full advantage of the lines Pcie Express 4.0 we would like to recommend valid alternatives such as the Kington KC3000 or, precisely the Crucial P5 Plus.
The real advantage of Sabrento, in our view, is that often theirs Nvme they come strongly discounted al Black Friday or to Prime Days: we suggest you enter our Telegram offers channel in view of the next round of discounts!
We have reviewed this SSD in 2022 since it has been a for years absolute bestbuy of its market, and we did not yet have official data to include in the benchmarks. thank Sabrento for providing us with i samples to test and we look forward to new releases that can make this brand as competitive again as it has been for years!
