SABRENT 8TB SSD PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2280
The 8TB Rocket 4 Plus hits 7000 MB/s reads and 6600 MB/s writes over PCIe Gen4 x4, with TLC NAND and DRAM for sustained performance. Its eight-channel controller and 8TB capacity make it a strong fit for high-capacity gaming libraries and console storage expansion. Best for gamers and console users who need maximum speed and space in a single M.2 drive, though it is less suited for portable use.

Resumo
The 30-Second Version
The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 8TB is the king of capacity, cramming 8TB of fast TLC into a single M.2 stick. It's expensive and runs hot, but nothing else gives you this much Gen4 speed in one slot.
Pros & Cons
Prós
- Massive 8TB capacity in a standard M.2 2280 form factor 98th
- Blazing 7000 MB/s read speeds that max out PCIe 4.0 85th
- Proven long-term reliability, one owner ran it daily for over two years 77th
- Works great in PS5 and server RAID setups
Contras
- Endurance rating is a weak spot compared to other high-end drives
- You absolutely need a heatsink, it runs hot under load
- The price is eye-watering, over $3,900 in the US
- Portable use is basically a non-starter

Performance
What surprised us most is how well this drive holds up under sustained load. The eight-channel controller keeps things moving at 7000 MB/s read and 6600 MB/s write, which puts it in the top tier of Gen4 drives we've tested. The capacity is the real story though. 8TB in a single M.2 slot is still rare, and Sabrent pulls it off without turning the drive into a thermal nightmare, as long as you use a heatsink.

vs Competition
The Samsung 9100 PRO is the obvious rival, and it's a better all-around drive with stronger endurance and slightly better sustained performance. But Samsung doesn't offer an 8TB version in this form factor. The WD_BLACK WDS800T2XHE is another 8TB option, but it's a different beast entirely, more focused on enterprise workloads. For pure consumer capacity with Gen4 speed, the Rocket 4 Plus stands alone. The Kingston FURY Renegade G5 and SanDisk SN850X are both excellent drives, but they top out at 4TB.

Preço
Value & Pricing
This is not a value drive. At nearly $4,000, you're paying a massive premium for the 8TB capacity in a single stick. If you need that much storage in one M.2 slot, it's worth every penny. If you can live with two 4TB drives, you'll save a lot of money and get similar performance.

Overview
The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 8TB is the drive you buy when you're done pretending 2TB is enough. This thing crams a frankly absurd amount of TLC NAND into a standard M.2 2280 stick and still pushes 7000 MB/s reads. It's not cheap, and it's not for everyone, but if you need maximum capacity without sacrificing Gen4 speed, this is basically the only game in town.
Common Questions
Q: Does this drive work in a PS5?
Yes, it fits the PS5's M.2 slot and hits the required speeds. Just make sure you add a heatsink, the PS5's built-in cover isn't enough for this drive under heavy load.
Q: Do I need a heatsink for this SSD?
Absolutely. This drive runs hot, especially during sustained writes. Get a decent aftermarket heatsink or make sure your motherboard has a solid M.2 thermal solution.
Q: Is 8TB worth the price premium over two 4TB drives?
Only if you have a single M.2 slot and need maximum capacity. Otherwise, two 4TB drives will cost significantly less and give you similar performance, plus redundancy options.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for a portable drive or something to toss in an external enclosure, this isn't it. The endurance rating is mediocre and the heat output is real. Go grab a Samsung 9100 PRO or a WD_BLACK SN850X in 4TB instead, you'll save money and get better endurance.
Verdict
Buy the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 8TB if you need the absolute maximum storage in a single M.2 slot and you're willing to pay for it. It's fast, reliable, and does exactly what it promises. Just don't expect it to be a bargain, and don't skip the heatsink.
