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.

I am beyond impressed with this drive. I have an "older" Gigabyte G1 X99 gaming motherboard that I have been using for the past 5 years. This motherboard has an M.2 slot, but it is an older slot. So I purchased a Sabrent M.2 to PCIe adaptor card in order to get maximum speed out of this drive. My system drive is a pair of SSD drives running in RAID 0 (fast) mode. This system drive is very fast and has served me well. I'm still using it, because of the motherboard limitations. I can't use a RAID array and my M.2 slot at the same time. Take a look at the screenshots that I attached and see the comparison. This is the CrystalDiskMark (speed test) comparison between a pair of SSDs and this new Sabrent M.2 drive. This new drive is amazing and can read over 3 times faster and write about 5 times faster than a *RAID ARRAY* of SSD drives on 6 GB/s SATA. That is incredible. I am blown away from this drive's speed and capacity at a very fair price. Of course, I have no idea about the drive's longevity or durability. But as long as this drive keeps working then I am going to be a loyal Sabrent customer for life. I even contacted them with a question and the customer service was good. I see no reason that I can't fully recommend this drive based on my experience so far. Well packed, well shipped (FexEx... right on time) and signature on delivery for extra assurance that it arrived in my hands. Overall this is one of my best computer purchasing experiences so far. Very well done Sabrent.

The Sabrent Rocket Q 2TB NVMe SSD is a good choice as an Apple Time Machine drive for data backup. My system is a 2018 15 in. MacBook Pro with 2.2GHz 6-core i7 drive, 16 GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD internal drive, running Catalina macOS 10.15.4. For more than a year, I had been using a 4TB WD MyPassport external drive for Time Machine backups, but I grew frustrated with its sloooooow data transfer. I bought the Rocket Q and installed it in an SSK aluminum enclosure (ASIN B07MNFH1PX). The installation was easy and the drive was running as soon as I plugged the USB-C cable into my Mac. I did have to reformat the drive using the Disk Utility app, but that only took a minute or two. Setting the drive up for Time Machine was easy also. All I had to do was open Time Machine in System Preferences, click on "Select Disk...", and follow the on-screen instructions. More detailed instructions can be found on Apple's website. The initial backup of the full 277 GB of data on my internal drive only took 45 minutes. The one-time encryption of the drive took another three hours. This is a huge improvement over initial backup and encryption with my WD MyPassport, which started one afternoon, ran overnight, and into the next morning. Now that the Rocket Q drive has received the initial backup and encryption, the maintenance backups only take a minute or two. The WD drive, in contrast, could take more than an hour to perform a single routine backup. That's an extraordinary improvement! The only caveat I offer is that the initial backup and encryption made the Rocket Q heat up to the extent that I was worried it would shut down. So I placed the drive atop a block of Blue Ice, and that kept the temperature under control. The regular hourly backups also generate a lot of heat, but nowhere near as much as for that first set-up. I'm looking into swapping the SSK enclosure for something that has cooling fins. Or maybe I'll use thermal glue to attach heatsink fins to the SSK. That issue aside, this Rocket Q is extraordinarily efficient to the point at which I don't even realize that it's there. I'm really happy I invested in it. Update 11/22/20: After seven months, this system is still working well. I solved the heat problem by using Gennel thermal glue to attach Antrader Aluminum Heatsink cooling fins to the SSK enclosure. That seems to dissipate the heat effectively.
