92 PCWorld FEBRUARY 2021REVIEWS
IMAGE: SABRENTSabrent must’ve read some of
my articles and discovered my
love of the color copper. The
heat-spreader and the metal
carrying case for the brand-spanking-new
Rocket 4 Plus PCIe 4 NMVe SSD feature the
color in copious amounts. I like it. Even if
copper leaves you flat, the drive’s stellar
performance will grab your attention—itbested the Samsung 980 Pro (go.pcworld.
com/s980) in many tests.SPECS AND PRICING
The NVMe SSDs we review all use the M.2
connector, and are 22mm wide by 80mm
long (2280). The Rocket 4 Plus is an x4 PCIe
4.0 device featuring a Phison PS5018-E18
controller and 96-layer, Micron TLC NAND.Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus NVMe SSD:
Fast on PCIe 4, fast on PCIe 3
The 2TB version of this SSD is nearly as fast with large files as Samsung’s 980 Pro, and
considerably less expensive. BY JON L. JACOBI
