Our best storage picks are divided into six categories based on form factor and intended use as shown below. Sabrent gave the Rocket 4 a nice boost with the Plus model. Although real-world testing sees it leapfrog competitors by the minutest of margins and vice versa, you get to keep the bragging rights with the Sabrent drive.
On the plus side geddit? It's not a complete home run for Sabrent because in terms of endurance, the Rocket 4 Plus sees a noticeable downgrade compared to its predecessor.
The only comforting factor here is a MTBF mean time between failures of 1. It's got the brand cachet and is no performance slouch either. The Samsung Pro read our review is nearly as fast as its competition, edging out the aforementioned Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus in our file copying tests. That's good enough for storing OS and primary applications, with capacious, faster versions GB, 1TB, and 2TB also available for more demanding users. Like the Rocket 4 Plus, Samsung's Pro also takes a hit to endurance.
However, Samsung also offers a 5-year warranty on its drives, with another positive being its well-built and mature Magician SSD software. It's worth mentioning that both, the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus and the Samsung Pro are top-tier SSDs, and enthusiasts looking for the ultimate speedy storage solution can't go wrong with either. The differences come down to their official TBW endurance rating, where Sabrent leads Samsung, and how they approach value. Samsung makes it easier to get onboard by offering a cheaper, slightly slower GB base model, and has a lot more brand recognition and track record in the storage business.
While Sabrent and Samsung are our top picks for this category, rivals from WD and Crucial are not far behind. WD's SN is a blistering performer, though you may need to spend extra on a heatsink as it has been noted to get fairly warm under heavy loads. While it's been Samsung commanding our top SSD lists in recent years, competition from the likes of WD, Corsair, Sabrent, Crucial, and a few others has been felt for some time, leading to great value alternatives that deliver comparable performance and excellent reliability.
The previous generations have a solid track record, but with WD's newer firmware, the SN can push further with faster sequential transfers and good latency. This iteration also allows for adding a heatsink for enthusiast users worried about cooling or throttling issues.
The drive's thermal performance is just fine regardless, and overall it's one of the best mainstream SSD options.
I did update the latest firmware to it before cloning my OS over. It was indeed still a tiny bit faster than the and the dirt cheap Adata Gen 3. Cons: - None that I can think of, it does run pretty hot even with a heatsink, but not to where it would become concerning.
Overall Review: I would indeed recommend this product and will be buying more eventually. It's not going to be life changing if you already have a or equivalent, and it's going to need the PCIE Gen 4. It does even outperform, though only slightly, Gen 3. Noticed some users posting drastically lower speeds and complaining they weren't getting advertised speed, and I can all but promise they are putting them in Gen 3.
