The Sabrent 500GB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD Maximum Performance Solid State Drive With Heatsink (SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-HTSK-500) delivers all the advantages of flash disk technology with PCIe Gen4.0 x4 interface.

Based on Toshiba's BiCS4 96L TLC NAND Flash memory its performance speeds can reach up to 5000 MB/s (read) and 2500 MB/s (write) when using a PCIe Gen4 motherboard. Using a PCIe Gen3 Motherboard Speeds will reach up to 3400 MB/s (read) and 2500 MB/s (write). Power consumption is much lower than traditional hard drives making it the best embedded solution for new systems.

The Sabrent 500GB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD was designed using PCIe 4.0 which allows for speeds of up to 5000 MB/s (read) and 2500 MB/s (write) significantly faster than PCIe 3.0.

Note: In order to take advantage of these speeds a PCIe Gen4 motherboard is REQUIRED. Otherwise it will be at pcie gen 3 speed at max of 3500MB/s.

The Sabrent 500GB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0. Using a Gen 3 PCIe motherboard will enable the user to reach speeds of up to 3400 MB/s (read) and 2000 MB/s (write).

When installing any NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD directly onto a PCIe Gen4 Motherboard a Heatsink is required to dissipate the heat generated by the drives extreme speed levels to avoid thermal throttling and maximize performance. This Sabrent 500GB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD comes with the Sabrent M.2 2280 SSD Rocket Heatsink preinstalled.
