I've been very impressed by the Crystal Disk Mark reports I've seen in other reviews and since I was in need of some budget friendly NVME drives, I took a shot here and a good shot it was! This is my second Sabrent product now (the first being an NVME enclosure funnily enough) and yet again, I am pleasantly surprised. It may be that Sabrent is popular in the US and Canada, but I for one hadn't heard of them until recently, and for a brand that (at least to my knowledge) has just started popping up on the UK marketplace, they're blowing the competition out of the water. Samsung EVO speeds at half the price, enough said!As always, Sabrent impresses with their presentation, very nice,

I bought this to replace a Corsair MP500 drive that was rapidly running out of space. As you can see from the attached picture this a quick gen 3 drive, faster than the Corsair drive it replaced (which was also a fast drive). This is running on a Asus Crosshair VII X470 board. It runs considerably cooler than the Corsair, idle is reading 30 degrees and only goes up to 45 degrees celsius when benchmarking. The Corsair would idle at near 50!Packaging was good. The drive arrived in a small box which contained a metal case with the drive inside cushioned by a soft foam so there shouldn't be any risk of damage during shipping.What really impressed me though was the free Acronis software it came with.

Being furloughed from work, I wanted to continue with some training on Microsoft Server. I had an HP Proliant G8 Microserver at home that was not doing anything, so I converted it to a Hyper-V server so I could build some VM's. The HDD performance was pathetic, so I fitted an SSD; which was OK, but not massively so. So I bought an EZDIY-FAB NVME PCIe Adapter, M.2 NVME SSD to PCI Express Adapter and a Sabrent 512GB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280. Whilst my hardware doesn't unlock the full speed advantage (just half of the advertised performance figures) it significantly raised the performance of my VM's. It was easy to install and configure, and it was incredibly cost-effective.

The SSD arrived in what appeared to be a shrink wrapped cardboard box, this had a very dinky metal case with a foam insert with a cut out for the card to sit in, can't think it could have been better protected to come through the postal system! Put it in the 2nd m.2 spot on the motherboard, the only problem I had was the screw to hold the ssd in place came out attached to a stand off mount and I at first didn't realise I had to remove the screw, screw the stand off then use the screw to fasten the card down. Booted up and no drive shown so started up MiniTool partition Wizard (free download) and that found and formatted the drive. Used Macrium Reflect to clone my game partition on my data drive,

Sold a 500 GB Samsung 960 EVO SATA M2 drive and replaced it with a 256GB Sabrent drive in a StoreMI caching setup to accelerate an old 1TB WD Black HDD. Load times of games are greatly improved due to very high read speed and with the high write speed of the Sabrent NVMe disk content is moved rapidly to caching drive when detected by StoreMI.I imagine that using this drive as a boot drive/non-gaming application would have similar excellent benefits though may notice the slow write speed of the 256GB model occasionally under certain work loads.Very easy to install on my MSI B450-A PRO MAX as I was replacing an existing drive and registering for the five year warranty was very simple.Packaging is a very good coming in a small metal case and paper outer shell.Overall recommended so far,

Bought Sabrent 256GB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 to upgrade my HTPC in living room. Using HP Prodesk 600 G3 micro tower case with Core i5 7500 and 16 GB DDR4 and few storage drives. Installed into weirdly located slot on HP motherboard ( see photo ) with Intel Q270 chipset, even pathetic/poor BIOS from HP recognized it instantly, no changes needed there. Cloned Windows 10 x64 system from old Intel SSD drive using AOMEI Partition Assistant. All flawless and smooth. Please see the screen shot of the performances compared to other drives inside my HTPC. First box is Sabrent 256 GB NVMe in dedicated PCIex4 m2 slot, second one is Intel SSD 150 GB in SATA 3 connector and 3rd and 4th are regular HDDs by Seagate in SATA 3.

For a system drive I usually go with one of the Samsung Pros, primarily for performance and durability. I do like to know the endurance rating in Terabytes Written but couldn't actually find any figures for this drive but it does come with a 5 year warranty once registered. That said the quoted specs for everything else are definitely quite respectable. Anyway, I wasn't getting this as a main system drive but for backup so I figured for the price it was definitely worth a shot. Not disappointed. Paired with a Sabrent USB 3.1 Aluminium Enclosure for M.2 NVMe's this makes for a snappy top quality external drive. Even though you know that you won't even begin to test the performance limits of this thing over USB,

This is hands down, an incredible if not better ssd - value wise, compared to the Samsung’s. I bought this luckily due to the Black Friday sale. But on a general basis this product is normally on a cheaper spectrum to Samsung’s ssd.I was skeptical as I had not heard of this company and tried to find as much fault with it as possible. But after trying this, I simply couldn’t. This is an incredible piece of kit, by an incredible company.For further clarification the device I installed this on was not a desktop. It was a laptop; the Razer Blade 2019 advanced edition. I installed the ssd with no problems. And the speed feedback I got was supringsly better than my old Samsung m.2.If you want the best value,

I bought this product to run my operating system on as starting up and waking from sleep was starting to get painfully slow.I should say, I previously had a 2TB HDD, which I am now using for game storage.But since then, my previous startup times from an off state to being able to browse the internet easily and freely has gone from around 5 minutes all the way down to 10 seconds. With about 5 or 6 of those seconds involving me typing my password. So one can expect to login around 3 or 4 seconds after clicking that power button (depending on how long the bios prompt shows for).This is a huge upgrade for me and I have managed to make my experience so much more enjoyable and easy to use.100%

1. Burst speed is phenomenal on arch Linux2. Overall speed is good; 3000 read & 1000 write as advertised on an Intel B250i board3. Firmware update not available for Linux users (windows only)4. Wear levelling is reduced compared to both SAMSUNG & ADATA offering5. No Smart read data or from Linux (gnome-disk-utility)I could recommend for windows users or users just using this a standard drive, however being a Linux user & running performance benchmarks, looking at SMART data it’s just not what I expected.For a few quid more there are better alternatives.I cannot recommend this of any other use case other than test systems or standard Windows installs - at this price range please consider SAMSUNG

This was about the cheapest 256GB NVME SSD available at around £41. It was delivered quickly and well packaged. Installation was a breeze and the first hint I had to how fast it was was when installing windows. It was the fastest installation I've ever done! After a successful installation a quick check on crystal disk mark showed a read speed of around 3200MB/s and just over 1000 write. It is noticeably faster when loading levels from games and everything feels zippier over all. Very happy with it after a week of use. Only time will tell about longevity, of course, but it's only the operating system and a few programs I save on the drive so no great loss if it fails. I'm sure that everything will be great,

Install took about a minute.Mines a secondary drive and I use it as a scratch drive for editing and capture and so on my motherboard it's in the M.2 slot that has its own bus.I say this because it's something to be aware of. Some motherboard M.2 slots will share a bus, some will preclude usage of other functions, such as additional SATA ports, so be aware.As for the drive itself, it's rapid. Transfer rates a plenty fast and with my setup I'm getting transfers of around 2 gigs per second, which is bottlenecked reading and writing to a Samsung 970 evo solid state, or my much larger mechanical archive drives.I've another m.2 slot spare,

Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD:If you're running windows 7 you will need drivers for the card. These used to be available from Microsoft but (presumably) in an attempt to push people onto Windows 10 they no longer supply them. If you search on the internet they can be found - probably copyright issues involved so I better not say where.I have a Z170-A motherboard from Asus. Really easy to install (so long as you didn't throw away the standoff and screw which came with the motherboard). Remember to disconnect anything in the two SATA express ports and change the bios setting in the 'Advanced' menu for 'M.2 and SATA Express Mode Configuration' from 'SATA Express' to 'M.2'.

So there has been controversy over the new design of this SSD, i purchased this 3 weeks ago and did indeed receive the brand new design which is single sided, has the controller sticking out of the sticker and a "warranty void if removed sticker" which one reviewer claimed maxed out at 1800mb/s.So i installed this 1TB SSD into my new b450 MSI pro carbon AC and ryzen 5 3600x build and im happy to report i am getting the reported speeds, this is my result and i have repeated the test 2 further times which shows its advertised speeds.For £110 im very happy with the speed of this SSD as its a mere £10 more than a standard SATA one and when doing large file transfers will be much faster

Bought two of the 1TB NVMe drives for additional storage in my PC. Drive speeds are excellent, competing the existing OS drive Samsung 960 Pro. It's pretty crazy to think that I paid nearly £300 for the Samsung a few years and now I can get my hands on these (Flash Deal!) for ~£80.Spec wise, the endurance is pretty good. Unfortunately, it is a QLC NAND Drive with 4k sectors which can make cloning problematic but it's wonderful as an additional drive to throw games/data on for quick loading. I also tested the performance of the drives, getting read scores of ~3200 MB/s and writes of ~2900 MB/s - very close to the quoted values.All in all, a great drive especially at deal prices.
