Description
More Information
The Sabrent SB-ROCKET-4TB is a solid state drive (SSD) that uses the PCI Express (PCI-E) 3.0 interface and the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol. It has a storage capacity of 4 terabytes (TB).
The PCI-E 3.0 interface is a high-speed interface that allows for faster data transfer between the SSD and the motherboard. The “x4” in the name refers to the number of lanes in the PCI-E interface, with four lanes providing higher data transfer rates compared to fewer lanes.
The NVMe protocol is a high-performance host controller interface designed for use with SSDs. It allows for faster access to data stored on the SSD, as well as lower latency and higher throughput, compared to older protocols such as SATA.
The Sabrent SSD is a high-performance SSD that is well-suited for use in applications that require fast data transfer speeds, such as gaming, video editing, and other resource-intensive tasks. It is also have a large storage capacity which make it suitable to use as a primary storage drive. However, it should be noted that this model uses the older PCI-E 3.0 interface, which has a maximum transfer rate of 9.8 GT/s which is slower than the latest PCI-E 4.0 interface’s maximum transfer rate of 16 GT/s.
Performance and Compatibility
The Sabrent SB-ROCKET-4TB is a high-performance solid state drive (SSD) that uses the PCI Express (PCI-E) 3.0 interface and the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol.
In terms of performance, the Sabrent SSD is capable of fast data transfer speeds, with sequential read speeds of up to 3,400MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 3,000MB/s. These speeds are faster than those of a typical SATA SSD, which typically have maximum sequential read and write speeds of around 550MB/s and 520MB/s, respectively. However, it should be noted that PCI-E 3.0 interface’s maximum transfer rate is 9.8 GT/s, which is slower than PCI-E 4.0 interface’s maximum transfer rate of 16 GT/s.
In terms of compatibility, the Sabrent SSD is compatible with systems that have a M.2 slot and support the PCI-E 3.0 interface and the NVMe protocol. It is also important to ensure that the system’s power supply is sufficient to power the Sabrent SSD. The SSD requires a minimum of 3.3V and a maximum of 3.6V of power. Most modern power supplies should be able to provide this level of power, but it is worth double-checking to ensure compatibility.
It is also recommended to check your system’s BIOS and make sure that it has the latest NVMe drivers to ensure that the SSD will be properly recognized and utilized by the system.
From Factor
The Sabrent SB-ROCKET-4TB is a solid state drive (SSD) that utilizes the M.2 form factor. M.2 is a type of computer expansion card that allows for the connection of SSDs to a motherboard. It’s a small and compact form factor that allows it to be mounted directly onto a motherboard.
The M.2 form factor has different physical dimensions and key designations, Sabrent SSD is M.2 2280 type which means that it is 22mm wide and 80mm long. The “2280” part of the name refers to the dimensions of the drive, with 22 millimeters in width and 80 millimeters in length. This form factor is designed for use in small form factor systems like laptops and small form factor desktop PCs.
It is worth noting that the M.2 form factor can use different types of interface such as, SATA or PCI-E based on the type of SSD and the device it will be used with. In the case of Sabrent SSD, it uses the high-speed PCI-E interface which provide faster data transfer speeds as compared to SATA interface.
