Sabrent is going big, literally. They expand its range of m.2 SSDs with an NVME SSD with a capacity of a whopping 8 TB. The Rocket Q 8TB will be added to Sabrent's line-up that has previously included SSDs with a capacity of 256 GB to a maximum of 4 TB.
The Sabrent 8TB ROCKET Q NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High-Performance Solid State Drive (SB-RKTQ-8TB) delivers all the advantages of flash disk technology with PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and it is fully compliant with the standard Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), commonly-known as M.2. The 8 TB SSD uses vertically stacked NAND memory written by QLC. The interface used is still PCIe 3.0 x4, whereby according to the manufacturer, read speeds of 3.4 GB/s and write speeds of 3 GB/s can be achieved based on a E122S controller from Phison. We did not spot any IOPS results or TBW values, also currently the price of the SSD is not yet known.
Features:
- M.2 PCIe Gen3 x 4 Interface.
- PCIe 3.1 Compliant / NVMe 1.3 Compliant.
- Power Management Support for APST / ASPM / L1.2.
- Supports SMART and TRIM commands. Supports ONFi 2.3, ONFi 3.0, ONFi 3.2 and ONFi 4.0 interface.
- Advanced Wear Leveling, Bad Block Management, and Over-Provision.
- All Sabrent SSDs come with FREE Sabrent Acronis True Image
8TB, now that's what I am talking about, these would be great for COLD storage and NAS if priced reasonably. More info can be found here.
