Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD

Overview

In our test of three newly launched PCIe 4.0 drives, they were close in most tests with the Sabrent Rocket 4 winning by a slim margin. Samsung's Evo line used to get our top recommendation, but Sabrent's Rocket Gen 4 SSD is definitely worthy of your consideration.

Storage Performance Roundup: Of all the Gen 4.0 drives we tested in our recent comparison, we liked the Sabrent Rocket best for its class leading performance and incredible price point. If you're retrofitting a new system that doesn't support PCIe Gen 4.0, you can still use the drives since they are backwards compatible.

Unless you have a specific case for drives this fast, you're not gonna see a real-world benefit from these drives right now, so unless you're looking like 10 years into the future or you just want the best of the best, maybe go over the Gen 3 drive for now.
