SABRENT 1TB Rocket Nano V2 External SSD – USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, Up to 1500MB/s Transfer Speeds, Rugged Aluminum & Silicone Sleeve, 8K Video-Ready Portable Drive (SB-1TB-NAV2)

I travel a lot for work and need a reliable SSD to store files and backups. The rocket nano has fast upload and download transfers. I work with video files so this is important. The 1tb storage is just enough for on the go workloads. The design is compact, portable and sleek. It fits easily in my palm while I move around on the job. The silicon protect helps with heat dissipation which helps because it does get hot. The cost is well worth it for the functionality and reliability.

This drive is small, sturdy, and super handy. Transfer speeds are blazing fast, just as advertised, and it handles large files with ease. The aluminum case with silicone cover gives it a solid feel, so you don’t have to worry about knocks or drops. Feels like it has endless storage in such a tiny form!. Perfect for 4K/8K video workflows on the go. Highly recommended!

At last i can get a good speed from an external SSD. Thanks GROK for expaining why various fast SSD were slow plugged into my Mac Studio and recommending this excellent product. Thank you apple for misleading us and not warning that the USB/Thunderbolt ports are slow and SSD vendors for now qualifying compatible with but slow!

Excellent 1TB Thunderbolt external NVMe SSD drive. Plug and play. Good performance. Light and small

This tiny solid state hard drive works great and is remarkably fast. My old non-solid-state, but high end hard drive took hours to back up my computer. This drive can do it in minutes. It does get a bit warm, but it is not a problem.

I bought their previous generation of this product after reading all the terrible reviews on it, about how slow it is, and you might get the rated speeds for a minute before it nose dives into oblivion. Which is annoying given how nice and small these things are, but I came prepared, both back then and this time around. HEAT SINKS!!! 50mm x 25mm x 10mm with thermal pad pre-applied. It works, they don't get hot. This version is nice, since it comes with a silicone bumper. SO... Took that to heart, and placed the heat sink on top where the giant hole is which I assume is there to allow the unit to breath. DOES, sadly double its height, but keeps it cool and gets better performance. I get about 1,000MBs sustained. I remember I took my thermostat gun to the old Sabrent and it got to 110F. Which means inside it was a lot hotter and hit its thermal junction. This stays safe to the touch even after 4hrs of file transferring after the heat sink mod. So, I came into both products EXPECTING this issue, and having had enough thumb drives and SSDs, I'm used to these issues and know how to correct them. By the way, the 4pk of Heat Sinks (50mm x 25mm x 10mm) cost me $10. Conclusion: It's the smallest 4TB drive out there, at a decent price and decent speeds. THOUGH, the Sandisk Extreme Pro does stay cool and does do double the speed for less price while not requiring post-purchase modding. I like this due to its size and industrial look. I do recommend it, if you don't mind do the heat sink hack and adding 10mm to its z-height. Though the Sandisk Extreme and Extreme Pros do weigh more than this device even with the 12g heat sink mod. It puts this device's total weight at 62g or over 2 ounces. It's lighter and technically has a slightly smaller footprint than the Sandisk option. I have both so I don't have to choose. I like it, knew what I was getting into and prepared as such.

The spec on paper reads about 1500 megabits per second read/ write, compared to the SanDisk Extreme pro's, which are somewhere in the 2000 megabits per second range, but this thing is crazy fast! I'm using it to back up my Google drive, through a drive imaging software, as well as straight file transfer both of which run at around 22 gig in volume. The transfer time from my PC to the SSD was about 2 minutes to do 22 gigs and around the same to do it as backup drive image. I then tried it to do the same transfer to and from my Samsung S23 Ultra, and it was as quick as doing it from a PC. So all in all, this thing is incredibly quick and it's half the size of a SanDisk SSD. I also like it for its size and the aluminum case as well. It came with a protective rubber sheath, which is perfect to keep the finish looking nice and clean. It's the first time I move away from SanDisk to another brand and I'm not disappointed! It's a bit more expensive than the SanDisk, but worth every penny.

Totally Dope!!! Lightning fast...Working on a musical production. 1gb of tracks ( 50 so far) it saved to the Rocket XTRM Plus in 10 seconds!
