![]() Phison’s controller caused quite a stir when it was announced a year ago. Many of these types are not yet available. Thus the Rocket 4 Plus joins an elite circle of previously available SSDs. Sabrent uses the E18 controller from Phison. Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus with E18 controller The Rocket 4 Plus is supposed to start at 500 GB and also offer two versions with 1 TB and 2 TB of storage respectively. While Samsung’s 980 Pro is supposed to have only 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB, Sabrent offers larger versions. However, a crucial difference between the two SSDs are the available sizes. In order to achieve high speeds, both probably rely on an SLC cache. Furthermore, both use a TLC NAND, which offers three bits per memory cell. The most significant similarity is probably that both rely on PCIe 4.0 x4. On closer inspection, the two SSDs in M.2 format look very similar. Source: Sabrent Sabrent also relies on TLC When writing, however, it probably surpasses the 980 Pro by far with 6,850 MB/s. The Rocket 4 Plus should be on par with the 980 Pro in terms of reading speed. Now the manufacturer Sabrent has already countered Samsung’s astonishing figures. ![]() ![]() The astonishment in the consumer SSD sector did not last long. This seemed to defeat the competition – at least for now. The 980 Pro should be able to read up to 7,000 MB/s and write up to 5,000 MB/s. The company has now officially confirmed what was initially only conjectured. After all, the Koreans’ new SSD is supposed to be able to achieve remarkable speeds. Samsung already defeated – on paper at leastīoth the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus and the Samsung 980 Pro rely on PCIe 4.0, although Samsung just made the headlines with its soon to be 980 Pro. So the Rocket 4 Plus from the house Sabrent is to be able to write among other things faster than the coming top model from Korea. Shortly after the imminent market launch of Samsung’s new flagship SSD 980 Pro, the competition is already following suit.
