Everything that decides whether the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus is the right drive: controller, DRAM, NAND, rated endurance, PS5 and laptop fit, and how it compares with the obvious alternatives. Hardware facts are taken from the reviews and datasheets listed at the bottom; capacities and speeds come from our comparison of 60 drives.
Who it’s for: Gen 4 builders who want an E18 drive with DRAM and TLC, a classic high-end design with high rated endurance. Skip it for: Buyers who want the warranty without paperwork: it is one year, extended to five only if you register the drive.
| Controller | Phison E18 (8-channel) |
| DRAM cache | Yes — DDR4 (4 GB on the 4TB model) |
| NAND | Micron 96-layer TLC |
| Interface | PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe, M.2 2280 |
| Heatsink version | Sabrent sells a separate PS5 heatsink that fits this and other bare M.2 drives. |
| Capacity | Seq. read | Seq. write | Endurance | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 TB | 7,000 MB/s | 5,300 MB/s | — | 1 yr / 5 if registered |
Rated endurance is 1,400 TBW at 2TB, 2,800 TBW at 4TB. We could not confirm the rating for the 1TB model from a primary source, so it is left blank. Speeds are the manufacturer’s sequential ratings.

We show retail prices only while we can refresh them at least every 24 hours. For market context: TrendForce’s 16 Oct 2026 retail sample runs $133–$250 per TB for mainstream 1–2TB drives, and NAND contract prices are forecast +15 to +20% for 4Q26. Check any listing against that range with the price per TB calculator, and see the SSD price chart for the trend.
