CONCLUSION
Having already reviewed the 2TB model there wasn’t much more I could expect from the 4TB one, even more so since Sabrent lists the same performance numbers (many of you asked however so here it is). Still as you can clearly see from the charts even though these two are exchanging blows, they are without doubt the fastest at what they do and that alone is reason enough for people to choose them. There’s one thing however that the 4TB model does better, durability and with a TBW of 2800 this means it should outlast the rest of your system, easily. Once again, the copper sticker at the top certainly helps reduce temperatures but if you are really serious about offering the best possible cooling to the Rocket 4 Plus 4TB you should grab one of Sabrent’s massive heatsinks (available both in black and white).
At USD999.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 999.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Rocket 4 Plus 4TB is without doubt not what I’d call affordable. Still it’s not meant to be that, remember, it’s aimed towards people with systems based on the AMD X570 and Intel Z590 boards and that alone says a lot. With that out of the way the Rocket 4 Plus 4TB by Sabrent offers impressive performance numbers, very good capacity, even better endurance numbers and a 5-year limited warranty and that’s why it gets the Platinum Award.
