[Amazon.ca] Sabrent 512GB Rocket NVMe TLC $54.35 ATL (58% off from $129.99)

Sabrent 512GB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-512)

it's a decent TLC NVME, with pretty high TBW for it's class. It's my first Sabrent storage drive, and planning it to put it in my nas as readonly cache so i can't comment too much on the research/feedback for using it as a daily system drive.

Before anyone asks, no this doesn't work with a PS5. This is a gen 3 NVMe drive. This is the one I got for myself off a guy that sold stuff from storage units he bought. $100 for a 2TB, no warranty of course though. Has been ok for the last few months, drive health has been at 100%.

Yup ridiculous. the gen4 version 1tb is cheaper than the gen4 500gb and gen3 1 tb.

I have 4 Sabrent Rocket in my esxi servers, rocking hard with several VM's 24/7 for 12 months+ each, one being 24 months +, no issues. Those Phison based drives are excellent from my experience. I know my experience is not a baseline, but just wanted to chime in on my reliable experience.

I have about six 1TB sabrent gen 4 rockets hitting over the age of 19 months and 3 more over two years - that's a total 9 sabrent rockets non have failed me or cause any issues.

It has its own utility to do secure erase, acronis cloning and has been rock solid for me. Even the Sabrent 4 plus runs just as fast as my Samsung 980 pro and WD SN850 on my desktop client.

So far 9 of my Sabrent NVME gen 3 and 4's have been super solid for me in both server and regular desktop machines which have seen quite the abuse and usage.

I even have one in my Bell 6000 series PVR as an external drive which is constantly writing and erasing for the past 19 months+

Maybe I'm lucky or someone are unlucky dunno but for now I'd be highly recommending them based on my own experience

Can you explain about the no warranty. I strong believe Sabrent is one of the TOP SSDs brands IN north America.

No warranty as I bought it off of another person. Not through like Amazon or another retailer. Like through Kijiji/FB Marketplace sort of thing.

That's what I have read as well.

My Intel NUC came with one of these and it has been fine so far but I'm just one little data point.

No issue w my gen 4 after more than a 1 year + , been solid to date and it has warranty , how about all those purchased w no report of issue?

They did some switcharoos in the components with the gen3 so it's hard to say at this point so maybe your's is ok now. I don't see many reports on the gen4 variant so it applied more to the 3 (including mine, which i had to send back - it wasn't dead but it would cause odd freezing from time to time that went away with a switch to the WD SN850)

Other than that 0gb issue, this drive is one of the few mid tier SSDs that still have DRAM (although only half the usual amount at 512mb per TB of space) and not HMB like SN770 and 570.

In either case, it's absolutely essential to have backups regardless of the drive.

EDIT: just googled the 0gb sabrent issue, and it seems to also affect the gen4 too.

Makes sense, but If you pay way less and last a certain xx dont really care if it breaks lol. Warranty cannot be transferred?
