The Rocket Pro drive, while not as speedy as the XTRM-Q TB3 model, offers enough performance for most applications while protecting itself from damage due to overheating thanks to its aluminum chassis. When continuously writing to the drive, it will become quite warm so if you do plan on working with very large projects, we recommend placing its chassis in a well-ventilated environment.
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 pre-formatted exFAT:
We did format it back to NTFS just before starting testing:
With the help of AIDA64, we could extract more information regarding the drive; not a lot of info is available due to presence of a pass-through (bridge) chip:
