Introduces the world’s first 8 TB SSM NVMe – review

Sabrent introduced the drive Rocket q, which is the world’s first SSD format M.2 with support for NVMe and a capacity of 8 TB. The novelty is based on memory Micron 3D QLC and controller Phison e12s.

Speed ​​parameters are not given, however, the manufacturer mentioned that the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface is used, as in the 4 TB model. And there, sequential read and write performance is 3.4 and 3 Gb / s. For random operations, the parameters are 490,000 and 680,000 IOPS, respectively (again, according to the 4 TB model).

There is no data on the price, release date and resource of Sabrent Rocket Q yet, however, it is obvious that the cost of such a drive will be great, despite even the QLC memory.

MTBF is 1.8 million hours. Drives will receive a five-year warranty.
