The 8TB Rocket 4 Plus SSD officially unveiled

The arrival of 8TB consumer SSDs is a watershed moment. Sabrent has announced the release of the 8TB Rocket 4 Plus SSD.

The fastest SSD currently on the market

Sabrent 8TB Rocket 4 PLUS NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Solid State Drive Extreme High-Performance SSD (SB-RKT4P-8TB) combines flash drive technology with a PCIe Gen4.0 x4 interface.

When combined with a PCIe Gen4 motherboard, its performance can reach up to 7100 MB / s (read) and 6600 MB / s (write). With a PCIe Gen3 motherboard, speeds can exceed 3400 MB/s (read) and 3000 MB/s (write).

Because it consumes far less power than traditional hard drives, it is the greatest embedded alternative for new systems. When we recalculate, it costs $ 1,499.99, or over 19 cents per GB.

Sabrent 8TB Rocket 4+ Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Nvme PCIe  The inbuilt SSD is built with PCIe 4.0, which enables for speeds of up to 7100 MB/s (read) and 6600 MB/s (write), which is much faster than PCIe 3.0.

It should be noted that a PCIe Gen4 motherboard is REQUIRED to make use of these speeds. Otherwise, it will operate at PCIe gen 3 speed, with a maximum transfer rate of 3500MB/s.

A heat sink is required when installing any NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD directly on a PCIe Gen4 motherboard to dissipate the heat created by the drives at extreme speeds in order to avoid thermal degradation and enhance performance.

Sabrent 8TB Rocket 4+ Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 internal SSD is PCIe 3.0 compliant. Using the Gen 3 PCIe motherboard, the user can reach speeds of up to 3400 MB / s (read) and 3000 MB / s (write).

Specifications:

• NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 interface.
• PCIe 4.0 compatible / NVMe 1.3 compatible.
• 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, debugging code, and over-security.
• Upgradeable firmware.

Package contents:

• 8TB Rocket 4+ Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 SSD.
• User guide.

SK Hynix and Solidigm's first SSDs are coming

The SSD, which uses the PCI Express 4.0 interface and is designed for the P5530 enterprise market, contains SK Hynix 128-cell 4D NAND flash chips in addition to a Solidigm controller and has capacities of 1, 2, or 4 TB.

Unfortunately, the company could not disclose extremely specific specs, however, P5530 samples are now available for its business partners. Obviously, there will be a solution for the enterprise segment, but you should be aware that this is a significant market, so all firms will focus on it, and end-user-level Solidigm SSDs will be available later.
