Sabrent Rocket Q Spec and Price in the United Kingdom

NVME2TBM.2 22803200 MB/s read

QLC NAND is the giveaway here: the Rocket Q trades the TLC memory and higher throughput of its Rocket siblings for cheaper-per-gigabyte capacity, landing at $309.99 for 2TB against the Rocket 4 Plus's $409.99. Sequential speeds of 3,200/3,000 MB/s and a PCIe 3.0 interface put it well behind the other two Sabrent drives, though DRAM cache and a 530TB write endurance figure over a 5-year warranty keep it usable for everyday storage rather than sustained heavy writes. Best suited to bulk file storage, game libraries, or a secondary drive where raw speed isn't the priority.

Tied 72nd of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential read — 3 models share this figure. Tied 62nd of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential write — 5 models share this figure.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 14, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

  • Reviewers judged it the best-performing QLC drive of its time, with class-leading sequential speeds and a very large SLC cache.
  • It includes a DRAM cache and a copper heat-spreading label, and Sabrent bundles cloning software and a toolbox.
  • Its endurance was notably better than Intel's QLC drives and it is backed by a five-year warranty.

Commonly criticised

  • Heavy sustained workloads hit the drive hard, and it was slow when reading back data at higher queue depths.
  • Game-level loading was not as quick as its synthetic scores suggested.
