The Sabrent 2TB Rocket 4 PLUS NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M. 2 Internal SSD Extreme Performance Solid State Drive (SB-RKT4P-2TB) delivers all the Advantages of flash disk technology with PCIe Gen4.0 x4 interface. Based on TLC NAND Flash memory, its performance speeds can reach up to 7100 MB/s (read) and 6600 MB/s (write) when using a PCIe Gen4 Motherboard. Using a PCIe Gen3 Motherboard Speeds will reach up to 3400 MB/s (read) and 3000 MB/s (write). Power consumption is much lower than traditional Hard Drives, making it the best embedded solution for new systems. The Sabrent 2TB Rocket 4+ Nvme PCIe 4.0 M. 2 2280 Internal SSD was designed using PCIe 4.0 which allows for speeds of up to 7100 MB/s (read) and 6600 MB/s (write), significantly faster than PCIe 3.0. In order to take advantage of these speeds, a PCIe Gen4 motherboard is REQUIRED. Otherwise, it will be a PCIe gen 3 speed at a max of 3500MB/s. When installing any NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD directly onto a PCIe Gen4 Motherboard a Heatsink is required to dissipate the heat generated by the drives Extreme speed levels to avoid thermal throttling and maximize performance. 2 2280 Internal SSD is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0. Using a Gen 3 PCIe motherboard will enable The User to reach speeds of up to 3400 MB/s (read) and 3000 MB/s (write). 2 PCIe Gen4 x4 Interface. PCIe 4.0 Compliant / NVMe 1.3 Compliant. Power Management Support for APST / ASPM / L1.2. Supports SMART and TRIM commands. Supports ONFi 2.3, ONFi 3.0, ONFi 3.2 and ONFi 4.0 interface.
