Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD Review – High Speed & Incredible 8TB Capacity

PCMARK 10 FULL SYSTEM STORAGE BENCHMARK

PCMark 10 Storage Benchmarks produce an overall score as a measure of drive performance. Comparing devices is as simple as comparing scores. The tests also measure and report the bandwidth and average access time performance for the drive. Each test uses traces recorded while performing real-world tasks such as booting Windows 10, starting applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, working with applications such as Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, and copying several large files and many small files.

PCMark 10 results placed the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 8TB SSD a bit lower than expected, but then again this is the only 8TB on the chart.

    I’ve been “patiently” waiting for Samsung to come out with an 8tb nvme 2280 m.2 ssd, but they don’t seem to be in a hurry. I would also love a 16tb m.2 ssd, despite the cost and the current technical limitations. That would be extremely useful, for myself, and I’m sure, others.

      I don’t think we will ever see either from Samsung. They build for mass sales only and niche releases are not part of their business model traditionally.
