Would be very cool if you guys can test these on laptops especially higher capacity ones (4TB). Due to the rise of processing power in laptops (AMD), more and more on the go editing devices are being bought and the upgrade path for 4TB is a no brainer. It would be interesting how these NVMe fair on a laptop enclosure and whilst it may vary from laptop to laptop, an approximation is good enough than nothing. Though like this test, it would be nice to see both stress test conditions and real scenario use (like a 10GB file transfer) while monitoring heat and if it throttles.
Great idea! Having not done any testing I can only speculate, but without any airflow inside a laptop you will definitely run the risk of thermal throttling. The chasse would need to be designed to pipe or radiate heat off the controller perhaps to the body of the laptop or another fan. Apple has offered up to 8TB NVME storage on their Macbook Pros for a few years now so clearly they figured it out.
@@ChristianWheel depending on the NVMes operation specification, heat can vary. I know Samsung ones works best at higher heat, sabrent tends to run cooler from what I saw in reviews.
Good content, but pardon me, for Sabrent, yes they are fast and ok to use for game build, but if you do content creation or 3d modeling, with a fair amount of complication and file transfer. At the beginning is good but once after few months of usage, this drive will not perform as suggested, worst is, they died on my after 5 months usage, not one but two. Compared to the Western Digital 850 or Samsung 980 Pro, these drive are higher in price but they are more mature compared to the Sabrent. I am also getting frustrated by their customer service, their 5 year warranty does not give me the sense of security. else Samsung and Western Digital are. maybe should redo and compare the Samsung (980 Pro), Western Digital (SN 850), Seagate (Firecuda 520) or even the Teamgroup (CARDEA A440) Gen 4 m.2 SSDs?
OMG! You really rock! Pro and fun, will hit millions in no time! Could u recommend me some best for the buck between gen 3 and 4? I'm targeting speed tbw price... A video comparing most used heatsinks would be great too!
Hey thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately the price of ALL drives is up right now so budget drives aren't what they used to be. But you're definitely going to do better with gen 3. Unless you have a very specific use case, gen 4 is not worth the money right now imho. Make sure you get something with a dram cache, the drives that are super cheap often lack these which is how they get their price down. For budget, I'm a fan of the Samsung 970 Evo and the WD Blue SN550 (this is dramless, you could possibly spend a few bucks more and get the silicon power P34A80 with dram).
Hey man, how are you? I am planning to buy a gen4 m.2. However, i currently have a gen 3 m.2 on the first slot of my mobo. Should I install my new m.2 gen 4 to the second slot, clone my gen 3 m.2 to my gen 4 m.2, turn off the pc, swap them so the m.2 gen 4 is on the top slot. And boot from that? Also when do I format the gen 3 m.2? How do you suggest I do this?
Your best bet is to use a cloning solution that works from a boot disc, like Paragon DriveCopy, EaseUs Todo Backup, Macrium Reflect or Acronis TrueImage. Several Disk Manager programs will clone a disk from a bootable OS too. Move your current gen 3 drive to its new slot and install the gen 4 drive, then tell your BIOS to boot up to the bootable cloning software disk you've prepared. Do the clone, then make sure your bios is now set to boot from the gen 4 drive. After a day or two has gone by and you're satisfied that your clone worked successfully, you can go ahead and format the gen 3 drive and use it as free space! Cheers and thanks for watching!
You've been a radio personality haven't you? Taking investors or sponsors for the channel? ***edit, sorry I didn't see the bio. I knew it! *** anyway, let me know what kind of sponsorship you're looking for. I like where this is going.
Hey thanks for the kind words! Out of curiosity, where have you heard me on the radio? I'm just starting out on UA-cam but have a lot of plans for it that hopefully I'll be able to pull off with a modicum of quality. Cheers!
@@ChristianWheel I am an IT Executive and you speak very succinctly and 99% of people use "um" " "so" etc a lot. You have an excellent style and your reviews are to the point and informative. In a previous life I was a guest on hundreds of shows across the USA. Your voice is super familiar to me, but I can't place it. My memory is great, but not that great haha. Would love to hear more about where you plan on taking this etc. Just let me know.
Personally I just went through the same thought process buying a 2nd nvme drive for my laptop and ended up getting the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB directly from Samsung for $349 plus tax. If Amazon hadn't botched my original order I'd be rocking a WD N850 Black 2TB drive instead but they made me wait and then shipped me a 500gb blue drive instead which really upset me. 😳😡😠
That Samsung drive is crazy fast too! Both Samsung and WD have their own controllers for this generation of drives but they're all in the 7 GB/s sequential read ballpark. Enjoy your drive!
I haven't had that experience! Sabrent doesn't make the nand nor the controller, so if those go bad then it's _technically_ not their fault. Maybe you got a bad unit? A certain percent of units off the line just get unlucky and break early.
my 1tb rocket 4 plus tests at 7.39/5.85 1GiB CDM. I'm lovin' it.
Loved your video and way of how you presented. Subscribed!
Subscribed to give you a boost - you show promise, and with polish - you will have a great Channel.
Thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to comment. Appreciate you!
Great video! :)
Heeeey thanks! I know they ripped off the name of the drive from the Blazbot "cockrocket" command so I'm happy to hear you're not salty about it.
Very thorough review, thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a nice comment! Hope the review helped you make a decision, will have more storage videos coming soon too.
That is the coolest high-school picture ever
If there had been Tinder back then it would have been my profile pic.

This is cool... very cool , that said YOU would certainly shell out the $$ just to be the quickest!!!
I didn't need one but I had 200 dollars worth of points and I got one basically for free
Congrats! Hope you put it to good use!

Don’t make me question my choices I NEEDED IT bc benchmarks
I, too, derive my self esteem by being able to flex on Reddit strangers!
sorry to ask how many tbw on 4tb because the website doesn't exist
The 4tb is rated for 2800 TBW, a little less than half of the previous generation. Thanks for watching!
Thanks
