Know before you buy
This drive uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor, but the integrated heatsink adds height. While it fits perfectly in most desktop motherboards and the PlayStation 5, it may be too thick for some slim laptops.
While the drive is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots, you will not achieve the maximum advertised speeds. To get the full 7200 MBps read performance, your system must support the PCIe 4.0 interface.
The heatsink is designed to be a permanent part of the drive to ensure optimal thermal management for the 8TB capacity. Removing it may void your warranty and is not recommended for standard consumer use.
Sabrent includes this software to help you easily clone your existing drive to the new SSD. It simplifies the process of migrating your operating system and files without needing a fresh installation.
The combination of TLC memory and dedicated DRAM allows the drive to maintain high speeds during large file transfers and intensive tasks. It prevents the performance drops often seen in cheaper drives that lack a dedicated cache.
Yes, the high sustained read and write speeds make this an excellent choice for demanding workflows like 4K video editing and loading large, open-world game assets. The integrated heatsink ensures it stays cool even during prolonged heavy usage.
