Sabrent Teases 8TB Rocket 4 Plus SSD – Ultra High Capacity M.2 Storage
Having 8TB of storage on a single M.2 SSD is already incredible, but pairing that capacity with top-level performance creates a drive that we’ve previously only dreamed of. With Phison’s E18 SSD controller, Sabrent can offer some of the fastest SSD speeds on the market, and with their new 8TB Rocket 4 Plus model, they will pair that speed with industry-leading drive capacities.
Right now, the exact specifications of Sabrent’s 8TB Rocket 4 Plus (SB-RKT4P–8TB) SSD are unknown. Based on the drive’s 4TB counterpart, it is likely that this drive will deliver sequential read speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s, sequential write speeds of up to 6,850MB/s, and random 4K QD32 read/write speeds of up to 650K/700K respectively.
Sabrent’s planned 8TB Rocket 4 Plus SSD will sit close to the limits of the PCIe 4.0 interface and the limits of the storage potential of today’s NAND and the M.2 2280 SSD form factor. This SSD is pretty much as high-end as you can get, and so far, nobody has launched a drive with this performance level and capacity to retailers. Sabrent may be the first SSD manufacturer to bring an SSD of this size and speed to the market.
Right now, we have not received information from Sabrent regarding the Rocket 4 Plus 8TB’s release date or pricing. Those who want an indication of how Sabrent’s Rocket 4 PLUS 8TB should perform can look at our review for Sabrent’s Rocket 4 Plus 4TB model.
