[2x Fans] Works great as boot drive on a pi5 with and nvme carrier board. No problems at all.

[Full Height] Requires a bit of patience to install, but overall it was quite easy and definitely worth it for the extra storage. I've certainly noticed an increase in speed since I upgraded from the 64GB eMMC storage.

[Full Height] 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.

[2x Fans] Purchased the 1tb drive to replace my 64GB model. The 1tb is slightly bigger than the original which makes putting the insulating sleeve on a tiny bit trickier, but has no problem fitting properly in the deck. So far it's been a great experience without issue. Would definitely recommend for Steam Deck.

[2x Fans] Received my item fast in a good packaging. Thank you

[Full Height] Moving from my on board RAID controller to a dedicated card was a game changer.

Using my motherboard in RAID 0 had no problem with Sequential reads/writes, but the random reads were painfully slow.

I moved to a PCI riser card (Gigabytes Aorus) so I could have more drives and a possible bonus of the bifurcated PCI lanes would be a bit quicker. Same performance.

I finally bit the bullet and picked up this card. It has been FLAWLESS.

The random read performance is within spitting distance of a single drive. Absolutely thrilled with this setup.

fwiw:
Asus x399-e Gaming
Threadripper 1950x
970 Evo Plus 1TB drives

Now I just need to get PCI4 capable stuff together so I can really put it through its paces

[2x Fans] 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.

[Full Height] Upgraded my 64GB Steam Deck with this and it has been an improvement overall. The stock eMMC is extremely slow in comparison so the Deck boots faster, loads faster, installs faster, etc. Upgrading the SSD in your 64GB Deck is well worth your time and money. The Sabrent SSD works perfectly, is lightning fast, reasonably priced and comes in a very cool case! I now have a 1TB Steam Deck that cost me $570 total, giving me double the storage of the 512GB Deck for $80 less.

[Full Height] Great consumer option for the Steam Deck from a reputable brand. Haven't experienced any issues with this drive and the price is fair for something new vs. the OEM options that we were initially stuck with.

[Full Height] 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
