Sabrent Rocket Q4 NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 2TB SSD Review

Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2022-02-22

The Sabrent Rocket Q4 2TB drive performs well for a QLC drive, a type of NAND flash mainly user with entry-level and mainstream SSD offerings. The Phison PS5016-E16 controller is making a great pair with Micron’s 96-layer QLC, resulting in it trading punches with the previous mainstream PCIe 4.0 drives we have previously tested. The drive could sustain high performance for quite a bit, but the behavior is quite different versus TLC NAND when SLC cache is exhausted, resulting quite low writes between 50 and 150MB/s, depending on the current cache state.

Test Setup and Extra Info

Test Bench:

The test system did incorporate a Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core CPU, two Trident Z RGB 3200MHz 8GB memory modules with 16-18-18-38 XMP 2.0 timings, a PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 5700 video card but also a Patriot Memory Viper VP4100 PCIe 4.0 SSD ; all these were connected to the BIOSTAR B550GTA motherboard. As a power supply we have chosen a Cooler Master 850W non-modular and the system was running the latest Windows 10 OS build as well.

The drive has arrived unformatted, but for testing purposes, we have formatted it NTFS:

With the help of AIDA64, we could extract more information regarding the drive:
