What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the SABRENT Rocket 4 Plus 4TB SSD for its exceptional speed and large capacity, making it a top choice for enthusiasts and creators. Users report read and write performance often meets or exceeds advertised PCIe 4.0 specifications, significantly reducing load times for demanding tasks. The 4TB size is highly valued for ample storage. A key consideration, however, is thermal management. Under sustained heavy use, the drive generates considerable heat, often requiring users to implement aftermarket cooling solutions to avoid performance throttling. Despite this heat caveat, the drive offers outstanding value, delivering premium performance at a more accessible price point for those prepared to manage its thermal output.
Know before you buy
Yes, the Rocket 4 Plus meets all of Sony's requirements for PS5 storage expansion. Its high-speed PCIe 4.0 interface and included heatsink ensure it performs reliably within the console's thermal constraints.
The heatsink adds significant height to the drive, which may prevent it from fitting in many thin-and-light laptops. It is primarily designed for desktop motherboards and the PS5 console, so check your device's clearance before installation.
Yes, you will see a substantial improvement in load times and asset streaming. Because this drive uses the NVMe 4.0 interface, it is significantly faster than traditional SATA drives, allowing for much quicker data transfers.
No, this drive is plug-and-play and uses standard NVMe drivers built into modern operating systems like Windows 10 and 11. However, ensure your motherboard supports PCIe 4.0 to achieve the maximum read and write speeds.
Yes, the drive is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots. Keep in mind that your speeds will be capped at the maximum bandwidth of the PCIe 3.0 interface, meaning you won't reach the full 7000 MB/s read speed.
