  • Works very well for what I bought it for.
Capacity: 8 TB
This review is for the Sabrent Rocket Q 8TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3300/2900MB/s (SB-RKTQ-8TB) (Amazon needs to stop its despicable practice of combining reviews of what it considers to be similar products!). I was dismayed when I first received the SSD in a cheap, folded up bubble wrap envelope until I saw the package inside the envelope. Nothing there was especially remarkable until one opens the box and removes what is inside. Inside was a very sturdy, deep drawn, aluminum box about the size of a 2.5" SSD, except it's 13mm thick, with fairly dense removable foam padding to protect the SSD inside. One could drive a car over this box and not damage the SSD inside (or the box). I had no trouble formatting this as GPT ext4 for use in a Linux Mint laptop. Installation in the laptop was quick and easy. The SSD itself uses QLC NAND. Since more data is stored per cell, the SSD will have a shorter write life than TLC and MLC SSDs. Also, since each cell is more crowded, data leakage will start happening sooner than with TLC and MLC NAND. However, the TBW rating is still high enough that most people will never come close to exceeding the the TBW rating or experience data leakage during the five year warranty period. The warranty is one year when first purchased but can be upgraded for no charge to five years if the SSD is registered within 90 days of the purchase date. Registering also allows you to upload a copy of the receipt to be kept on file should you lose your copy, which is needed should you need to file a warranty claim. Despite the higher speed of NVMe drives over SATA, I do not recommend this drive for a boot drive unless your computer has room for only one drive and you also need the extraordinary capacity this drive offers. It's better suited for static data storage that is infrequently written but frequently read. I recommend this drive for compact, high capacity, relatively static data storage installed inside a computer. It would not be suitable for use as an external drive unless the drive was powered up frequently and mostly read rather than written to. I chose this drive over the only other 8TB SSD I'm aware of (a 2.5" SATA model), despite being QLC, for its longer warranty, large capacity, and because it allowed me to keep one of the 2.5" bays in my laptop free for another purpose. Once data has been written to the drive, it will be mostly read only with the only writes being when occasionally adding new data. Since the drive will be powered up frequently and have few writes, it should outlast the warranty without loss of data. My laptop is running on Linux Mint 19.3 booted from an MLC NVMe drive. I have a 4TB 2.5" MLC SSD for data frequently accessed, written, edited, and deleted. TRIM works on this drive. I'm currently populating the drive with data from two 4TB SSDs. To allow me to use my current 4TB SSD backup drives, I partitioned the drive into two equal sized partitions. It took around 18 hours to populate one partition with 3.225TB of data. Transfer speed from a 2.5" 4TB MLC SSD was throttled by SATA interface of the source drive so there was no speed advantage to be gained by the NVMe drive for me. Even when being read inside the computer, there will be no noticeable speed advantage unless working with enormous files (say 50GB-100GB or more), which I will not be doing. Drive temperature during population never exceeded 35°C with a 25.5° ambient temperature and no heat sink on the SSD. Normally, one wants to maintain 20-25% free space on an SSD to help ensure minimal fragmentation (yes, SSDs fragment but that will be kept to a level an SSD can easily handle as long as TRIM is enabled and there is plenty of free space on the drive). Generally, the more often a drive will be written to, the greater amount of free space one wants to maintain. Since my drive will be mostly read only, I can get away with maintaining the lower limit of free space. The one partition I have fully populated is only 80.6% full so there is plenty of free space there. The partition I'm currently slowly populating will not reach maximum usable capacity for quite some time. Even though I copied data from the source drive to the remaining partition on the Sabrent in fairly small batches to avoid overflowing the cache, I saw a noticeable slowdown in write speed as it approached 50% capacity. For my use, this won't be a problem because future writes will usually be under 10GB (very occasionally, up to 25GB) and will be one time events, the data then being read only after being written. It's still faster than SATA and is more than fast enough for watching movies. ... show more

  • NOT A BOOT DRIVE, ARCHIVAL DRIVE; other than that, great.
Capacity: 8 TB
First thing's first. QLC is not made for boot, it can, but it's super volatile and will degrade faster. Treat this more as a spinning platter HDD and you'll be good. Should be used as a storage drive. It's expensive, since it's the tech and the size of the stick that makes it expensive. NOW if this were in a 2.5IN form factor with larger NAND PACKETS, it would be more robust. BUT... QLC is not robust. I bought this for my absurdist PC build in my podcast room. I had a lot of money and I wanted to build the most expensive PC I could buy with non-server parts (since then you could totally break the 20+K mark, I only spent 15K on it. PC: ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha MOBO 256GB Kingston 32000MT RAM RTX 3090 (since the TI wasn't out then) AMD TRx4 3990x 4tb Sabrant BOOT Gen 4 TLC 8TB (x2) Sabrant Storage Gen 3 Drives. Needless to say with a total of 20TB on my motherboard alone and the ability to expand that even more if so-choose. Yeah, I'm happy with this purchase. To those complaining about a missing terabyte, I agree, that's annoying but that's how the game is played. Just like 8K is really closer to 7.5K and 4K is 3.8K. Supposedly has to do with partitioning and raid tables. IF I had to guess, they're saving 1TB for redundancy purposes and to increase the life of an already more volatile form of NVME. Meaning in case of a failure, it's double writing up to a Terabyte to a private sector, so it can be recovered. Also like in lithium cells best not to fully populate SSDs/NANDS. Think of it as a library with a lot of shelves, you need aisle space to fetch the memory, but the more shelves of data you put in it, the harder it is to get to the books, but in return you're able to store more memory. And this is 4 shelves per rack meaning they're super tall and wobbly. The more you call from this QLC the more chance of bumping the shelf and knocking it over. AKA corrupting the data. And when one goes, the whole thing goes, like dominoes. Conclusion: BUY IT if you need a lot of memory in a tiny space, ARE NOT using it as a boot drive, and accept that the speeds are slower due to the type of RAID programmed on its controller. As an ARCHIVAL DRIVE, this is great. (Backing up old photos, videos and documents). HECK YEAH it's expensive. Remember 30 years ago, the concept of 1GB was absurd, now we're dealing with 8TBs. I would definitely recommend since at the time of purchase Sabrant were the only people crazy enough to put out an 8TB NVME drive. Heck they were one of the few 4TB NVME manufacturers as well, haven't checked up to see if more companies put them out. If you need the space, within this absurdly small footprint. I don't know, pretty hard to suggest anything else. Since it doesn't really exist. ... show more
