SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD 4TB Internal Solid State 3450MB/s Read, PCIe 3.0 X4 2280, M2 Hard Drive High Performance Compatible with PCs, NUCs Laptops, and Desktops (SB-ROCKET-4TB)

Product Information

Based on “out-of-box performance” using a PCIe 4.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software and usage. Kingston FURY™ Renegade PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD provides cutting-edge performance in high capacities for gaming and hardware enthusiasts seeking extreme performance for PC builds and upgrades. By leveraging the latest Gen 4x4 NVMe controller and 3D TLC NAND, Kingston FURY Renegade SSD offers blazing speeds of up to 7,300/7,000MB/s 1 read/write and up to 1,000,000 IOPS 1 for amazing consistency and exceptional gaming experience. From game and application loading times to streaming and capturing, give your system a boost in overall responsiveness. There are of course additional high-capacity alternatives on the external SSD market. Some of the most popular include: At the time of writing, there is only one non-enterprise competitor to the 8TB Samsung 870 QVO and the Teamgroup QX is it. In fact, this drive is also available in an even more capacious (and expensive) 15.3TB variety.

AMD X570, B550, or TRX40 motherboards paired with a 3000/5000-series Ryzen/Threadripper CPU (or later) Seagate’s FireCuda 530 uses the same controller as the KC3000 and offers stellar sequential read/write performance at 7,300 MB/s and 6,900 MB/s, respectively. The 4TB model also comes with an exceptional endurance rating of 5,100 TBW, making it a top choice for video editing and other storage-heavy workloads. If you have invested in a PCI-Express 5.0-capable system (based on e.g. AMD B650/X670 or select Intel Z790 boards), the best-performing 4TB SSD is currently the Crucial T700. With sequential throughput of up to 12,400 MB/s, this drive is a leader among the still relatively few SSDs that utilize the Gen5 interface. For the same reason, it is also the fastest M.2 SSD overall. Many of the 4TB or larger alternatives are technically entry-level M.2 SSDs and frequently use more inexpensive parts, such as budget controllers and QLC NAND. Here is an extended list of current 4TB M.2 PCIe SSDs at the time of writing. It is roughly sorted by random IOPS throughput, which tends to be the more accurate indicator of real-world performance.Note that all drives with sequential speeds above 3,500 MB/s require a PCI-Express 4.0 (PCIe Gen4) platform to reach their full potential. The PCIe Gen4 interface is present in consumer platforms based on:

If you are looking for 8 TB of fast storage space at a somewhat reasonable price, the Corsair MP600 PRO NH is one of the most interesting new releases. It’s based on the Phison E18 controller and durable TLC NAND, resulting in an outstanding 6,000 TBW endurance rating. List of 4TB M.2 (PCIe/NVMe) SSDs From the manufacturers’ perspective, building SSDs in 8TB or even larger capacities is a pricing issue rather than an engineering challenge. Although common in data centers, really large SSDs are simply too expensive for the mass market. It is also highly competitive in terms of pricing and the 4TB model offers a solid endurance rating of 2,960 TBW . Additionally, it ships with a heatsink suitable for the PS5. PCI Express-based solid state drives in the M.2 form factor are the first choice as system drives, as they offer much higher performance than their 2.5″ SATA counterparts. However, some of the most popular high-end drives such as the Samsung 980 PRO and 990 PRO are currently not available in 4 TB capacities. Of course, the newer memory types are not without advantages. The main one is that the higher densities allow for lower production costs. And as for performance, the difference is quite small as long as you are on the bandwidth-limited SATA bus. Compared to other technologies, modern QLC SATA drives offer an attractive price/performance calculation, unless you plan on putting the drive through extremely heavy use. SummaryNevertheless, the cost of Flash memory has been dropping for some time. And thanks to the arrival of cheaper chips in the form of high-density TLC (triple-level cell) and QLC (quad-level cell) NAND, it is now easier than before to justify investing in large solid state drives. Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston's Flash Memory Guide.

Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. This SSD is designed for use in desktop and notebook computer workloads and is not intended for Server environments.With better heat management comes better stability during peak performance. The slim M.2 combined with a low profile, graphene aluminium heat spreader is optimised for intense usage in gaming laptops and desktops. The optional heatsink model delivers an additional layer of thermal dispersion so when the game heats up, your PS5™ console stays cool. Kingston FURY Renegade SSD matches the top-tier performance of the Kingston FURY Renegade memory line to produce the ultimate team that will keep you at the top of your game. What mainly affects the endurance rating is the type of NAND memory chips use. These are exemplified in Samsung’s 2.5″ lineup by: MLC memory is the oldest NAND generation, but still the superior technology in terms of performance and endurance. MLC has been mostly replaced by the newer and denser TLC type, which is somewhat slower and less durable. The most modern and least durable type today is QLC.
