The <B>Sabrent</B> 1TB Rocket 4 PLUS NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal SSD Extreme Performance Solid State Drive (SB-RKT4P-1TB) delivers all the advantages of flash disk technology with PCIe Gen4.0 x4 interface.<br><br> Based on TLC NAND Flash memory, its performance speeds can reach up to 7000 MB/s (read) and 5300 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.<br><br> The <B>Sabrent</B> 1TB Rocket 4+ Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD was designed using PCIe 4.0 which allows for speeds of up to 7000 MB/s (read) and 5300 MB/s (write), significantly faster than PCIe 3.0.<br><br> <b>Note:</b> In order to take advantage of these speeds, a <B>PCIe Gen4 motherboard</B> is <b>REQUIRED</b>. Otherwise it will be at pcie gen 3 speed at max of 3500MB/s.<br> When installing any NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD directly onto a PCIe Gen4 Motherboard a <b>Heatsink is required</b> to dissipate the heat generated by the drives extreme speed levels to avoid thermal throttling and maximize performance.<br><br> <B>The Sabrent</B> 1TB Rocket 4+ Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.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).<br><br> <b>Features</b>: <br><br> NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 Interface.<br> PCIe 4.0 Compliant / NVMe 1.3 Compliant.<br> Power Management Support for APST / ASPM / L1.2.<br> Supports SMART and TRIM commands. <br> Supports ONFi 2.3, ONFi 3.0, ONFi 3.2 and ONFi 4.0 interface.<br> Advanced Wear Leveling, Bad Block Management, Error Correction Code, and Over-Provision.<br> Upgradeable Firmware.<br><br> <b>Package contents:</b> <br><br> 1TB Rocket 4+ Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 SSD.<br> User Manual.<br><br>
