Know before you buy
Yes, the Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0 meets the performance requirements for the PS5. Its included heatsink helps maintain optimal temperatures during intense gaming sessions.
The drive features a single-sided M.2 design, which makes it thinner and more compatible with a wide variety of laptops. However, you should verify that your laptop has an available M.2 slot that supports PCIe Gen 4 NVMe drives.
The heatsink is pre-installed to ensure the drive maintains peak performance and longevity by preventing thermal throttling. While it can technically be removed, we strongly recommend keeping it on, especially for high-performance tasks like gaming or video editing.
The drive comes with a 2-year standard warranty out of the box. By registering your product with Sabrent, you can extend that coverage to a total of 5 years.
Yes, this drive is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 interfaces. Keep in mind that you will be limited to the maximum speed of the PCIe 3.0 slot, so you won't achieve the full 7400 MB/s read speeds.
