TweakTown’s Jon Coulter has taken a deep dive into the absolutely tiny Sabrent Rocket NVMe 2230 class M.2 drive, and was pleased by what he found.
For those that don’t know, Sabrent has risen to become one of the most recommended SSD manufactures today as they usually offer excellent performance coupled with excellent prices. This is in no small part thanks to the Phison based controllers they use in their designs. Phison units are used across the industry and are shared with other SSDs from the likes of Corsair, Inland, MSI, and Gigabyte.
Also for those that don’t know, the 2230 standard for M.2 drives is absolutely tiny at just 1.18 inches in length. The Sabrent Rocket 2230 comes in at this length while still supporting up to 1TB of storage and up to 5,000MB/S performance. The catch is that it doesn’t have DRAM cache.
Coulter found that while consumer workload performance was trailing other SSDs, The Sabrent Rocket 2230 had solid gaming performance and good durability. Additionally, it’s a single sided drive which gives better fitment options, with Coulter stating that it would be an excellent choice for something akin to a Steam Deck.
