SABRENT 8TB SSD PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2
The 8TB capacity on a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 drive delivers 7000 MB/s reads and 6600 MB/s writes, enough for massive 4K/8K video projects and entire game libraries. Its M.2 2280 form factor fits motherboards, laptops, and PS5 with a separate heatsink, while advanced wear levelling and thermal throttling protect long-term endurance. Best for video editors and system builders who need one high-capacity drive for active projects and archives without juggling multiple SSDs.

The 30-Second Version
8TB of stupid-fast storage in a single M.2 slot. You'll pay dearly for it, but owners love it and it just works.
Pros & Cons
Vorteile
- 8TB on a single M.2 stick is absurd and wonderful 98th
- 7000 MB/s reads are genuinely top-tier for PCIe 4.0 85th
- Owners report rock-solid reliability over years of use 77th
- Plays nice with PS5, servers, and RAID setups
Nachteile
- Price is eye-watering no matter how you slice it
- Endurance rating is one of the weakest we've seen
- You absolutely need a heatsink, which adds cost
- Portable use is basically a non-starter

Die Fakten
Performance
The numbers are legit. 7000 MB/s read and 6600 MB/s write puts this in the top tier of PCIe 4.0 drives, and in our database it ranks well above average for speed. What surprised us is how well it holds up under sustained load. Sabrent's thermal throttling controls actually work, which matters when you're moving 500GB video projects around. Just know that without a heatsink, this thing gets toasty fast.

vs Competition
Against the WD Black SN850X and Kingston Fury Renegade, the Rocket 4 Plus holds its own on speed but loses on endurance and price. The SN850X is cheaper per terabyte and has a better endurance rating, though you'd need two of them to match 8TB. The Samsung 9100 PRO is the newer kid with PCIe 5.0 speeds, but it's even more expensive and runs hotter. If you need 8TB in one slot, Sabrent is basically the default choice. If you can live with 4TB, the SN850X or Fury Renegade make more sense.

Value & Pricing
This is not a value drive. At roughly $3,940 USD, you're paying a huge premium for density. But if you need 8TB in a single M.2 slot, you don't have many options, and this one delivers the speed to match the capacity. For most people, two 4TB drives will cost way less. For the few who need this, it's worth it.

Overview
The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 8TB is the drive you buy when you're done pretending 2TB is enough. This is a single M.2 stick with more storage than most people's entire NAS, and it hits 7000 MB/s reads while doing it. The one thing to know? You're paying a massive premium for the privilege of never thinking about storage again.
Common Questions
Q: Do I need a heatsink for this drive?
Yes, absolutely. This drive runs hot under load, and Sabrent's own thermal throttling will kick in without one. Grab a decent M.2 heatsink or use your motherboard's built-in cooling. For PS5, you'll need a separate heatsink that fits the console's drive bay.
Q: Is this drive good for gaming?
It's overkill for gaming, honestly. Games don't come close to saturating PCIe 4.0 speeds, and 8TB is more than most libraries need. But if you want every game installed forever and load times measured in milliseconds, it'll do the job. Just know a $150 2TB drive would feel nearly identical in practice.
Q: How does the endurance compare to other drives?
This is the weak spot. The endurance rating lands near the bottom of our database for this class of drive. For typical consumer use, you'll probably never hit the limit. But if you're writing terabytes daily for video work or server use, you might want to look at drives with higher TBW ratings.
Who Should Skip This
If you're a gamer looking for a fast boot drive, this is massive overkill. Grab a 2TB SN850X or Fury Renegade and pocket the difference. If you need portable storage, this is a terrible fit, it's an internal M.2 drive with a 21.5 portable score. Get an external SSD instead.
Verdict
The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 8TB is a specialist's drive. If you're editing 8K video, running a server with limited M.2 slots, or just hate managing multiple drives, this is the one to get. Everyone else should buy two 4TB drives and spend the savings on something fun.
