Sabrent Rocket 4 PLUS 2TB (2022) NVMe SSD review

We again review the Sabrent Rocket 4 PLUS M.2 NVMe SSD series, this round with a B47 firmware. Powered by a mightily fast PS5018-E18 controller this Sabrent offer might become one of the most compelling SSDs we' have tested in a while. If you like endurance and PCIe 4.0 performance levels breaching 7 GB/sec, of course.

i use a lot of Sabrent Rocket drives. i have two systems with onboard slots and i have dedicated myself the last several years migrating data from hdd to ssd, and on those two systems ssd to M.2.
i like a "clean" computer with minimal cables, lines, and tubing.
but even so, this is out of my envelope (of need) specs.
i typically use one pcie 4.0 as a boot drive and save that $100+ by going pcie 3.0 (with larger volume drives)
but i'm happy with the 1tb Rocket 4.0 as i have it one one system the other is my DAW with Crucial p5+ which is close enough for Rock N' Roll.
but if i was doing a new build with Alder Lake or AM5 i would look long and hard at this guy.

I have a Rocket Q 2TB, and just checked the health status on the drive and it's at 83%. It's 2 years old, this month.
Also checked an old Samsung Sata that I have installed, and it's at 91%.
WTF, why is my drive "decaying" so fast? Is it the brand?

Sweet, the first PCIE 4.0 drive that handily beats the RND 4KQ1T1 figures of my PCIE 3.0 1TB Sabrent Rocket TLC drive.
Finally a drive worth putting in a new machine for OS use.
My MB/s figures are 67 read, 389.7 write.
The Rocket 4+ are 91.58 read, 418 write.
