Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe SSD M.2 review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/09/2020 10:12 AM [ 19 comment(s) ]

We review the Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB, a fast M.2 SSD that you can purchase for 129 USD these days. Labeled with Reads and Writes in the 3200/2000 MB/s ranges there however is an oddity to be found with this series, as that Q in the naming implies a substantial difference. Wanna know what that is?

I don't agree with those maths. I have 3 HDD 8TB full of steam games, which usually update, once a day or a week. If I fill a 1TB SSD with those games using a SSD QLC with 700- 1000 endurance. and I play a game on daily bases and save it every 5min over the same file, I would be able to update that file 700 times (remember SSD is full so the only way is to update the file rather than place it in other part of the SDD). The disk will last 175 days playing 8h a day. Great investment $129 per less than a half a year

You can't be seriously writing this...

A game save is not the entire game, but a 10-25MB file, so your maths are completely wrong. Also, when a game has an update, not all of it is getting rewritten. Very rarely even a major update is more than 300MB.

This is wrong enough that it should be deleted. Math this bad is way more harmful to discourse than insults and curse words will ever be.

I don't see any wrong, if you write 700 times over same sector your SSD is as good as dead. This can be achieve in many ways. 1TB database change 700 a record and your SSD is dead. A SSD completely full at 100% and updating the same same 700 and boom your SSD is dead. 700 cycles is rubbish.

The only way to achieve 9PB in that SSD, it is using in a DVR, that will be a waste of dollars
