[8 TB] Replaced my 64 gb steam deck with this. No issues at all, very well packaged and performed great.

[4 x 2.7 x 0.5"] I bought this to upgrade my steam deck OEM 64GB drive. The price may be a bit high, but the packaging is lovely and can be re used for other various things. This little drive was very easy to install in the Steam Deck. You can watch videos on how to do so. Installing the games on it worked out well and I have no issues with running games from it.

[4 x 2.7 x 0.5"] Great addition to the build!

[8 TB] I have bought a few of these over time and they always work as expected and provide good performance.

[4 x 2.7 x 0.5"] Works great as boot drive on a pi5 with and nvme carrier board. No problems at all.

[4 x 2.7 x 0.5"] Is ideal for the Steam Deck since it is one of the only form factors that fits. Unfortunately, you're going to pay for that privilege because the vendor knows they are one of the only form factors that fits.


Valve's heat shield is a little snug so rather than trying to slide it over like a sock, just remove the adhesive and apply like a bandaid.

[8 TB] I have a recent Dell laptop that uses M.2 2230 SSD. The factory installed SSD didn't perform very well and didn't have the very good specifications for its price. I looked at the Sabrent Rocket 2230 and liked the much-improved specifications. It was worth the price. The laptop is noticeably faster in operation and seems to be more stable than it was with the factory SSD. I'd recommend the Sabrent to anyone looking to improve the performance of their device with a 2230 form factor SSD.

[4 x 2.7 x 0.5"] I was nagged for this review, which I feel is a despicable practice that needs to end. Making it even worse is I haven't even used the SSD or cooler yet (and, if I'm lucky, I never will).

I bought this one for use as a spare SSD so I could quickly replace one of the ones I already have in use if one should ever fail. I bought the combo because it was the same price as the SSD only. However, the heatsink I'm using already is not likely to ever fail.

I have five identical SSDs and one cooler already in use so I'm basing this review off of them. So far, they have been working well. I use them primarily for data storage: four in a desktop computer and one in a laptop.

In both computers, one of the drives in each also serves as a boot partition. For booting and running a computer from, they run as fast, if not faster, than the Samsung 970 Pros they replace which is remarkable considering that the Sabrents are TLC and the Samsungs are MLC. Write life for TLC drives are generally around half that of equally sized MLC drives but are still high enough to make it unlikely for anyone to exhaust the write life before replacing the drives for newer technology.

The heatsink appears to cool better than the one used on the motherboard of my desktop computer. It just barely clears the graphics card (your mileage may vary).


Edit: I've since noticed that the heatsink in this package is a newer version that has a different mounting screw arrangement which is absolutely brilliant! Unlike the older version I'm still using, the mounting screw is captive so it can't get dropped and lost. It's also longer and the screw head is located in a recess in the top of the heatsink, making it much, much easier to guide the tip of a screwdriver onto the screw, even if you don't have a clear view of it. If buying the heat sink separately, be sure to get the SB-HTSP version.

[4 x 2.7 x 0.5"] Excellent value for money. I use it in the case for external ssd to iPhone 16 to record 4k 120 fps log, everything works without problems

[4 x 2.7 x 0.5"] Affordable price, quick delivery, smooth installation and optimal performance. Happy to have made this purchase, and may even buy a second one soon!
