Review: Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe SSD M.2
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?

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.
What? A game update is rarely more than 300MB???? Are you from the year 2001? Do you not have AAA games on Origin or Steam?
eg. Battlefield 5 updates always greater than 50GB,.... Starwars Battlefront updates over 60GB each

I will stick with my spinning rust for now as it is affordable and I like to have as many games installed as I can. As for load up times I am missing out on sorry but for World of Warcraft and other games I play I can wait a little longer. Thanks for doing the review though as it had some information I was interested in.

Can someone explain why the PCMark 8 Storage benchmarks have the absolute slowest, cheapest, ancient SSDs doing the disc trace timing tests at almost the exact same speed as latest PCI-E Gen4 NVmE drives???
eg. Battlefield 3 has Sabrant Rocket Gen4 at 131.2 seconds and I have an ancient piece of crap 480G Sandisc and that gets 134.3 seconds in same test???
Why aren't the latest PCI-E Gen4 NVME kicking the crap and doing same test in 15 seconds??
Are these newer drives speeds a bit of a scam? Do they only reach those in very rare occasions?

the 15 second would be true if the computers had the ability to directly access the from cpu to ssd or gpu ... but alas things do not work like that there is a lot of io your files have to pass threw from your SSD to be usable by a game so after some point on the gaming side you get diminishing returns, kind of why there is such a big deal around the ps5 ssd ... where there is a custom soc that does the decompression on the spot and skip most of the io allowing the gpu and cpu to have much more direct access to ssd .The speeds are there video editing transferring files etc you will see em ... just the games are a whole other beast .

You could not be more wrong with your assumptions. But yeah, please stay on HDD if you feel that is best for you.
