THE ROCKET Q 8TB

The Sabrent Rocket Q 8TB SSD follows the typical M.2 2280 form factor (22mm wide and 80mm long).

Right under the somewhat thick copper sticker (does help with temperatures) we find the Phison E12S NAND controller, 8GB DDR3L DRAM package (according to Sabrent) and four Micron 96-layer QLC NAND flash modules (1024GB each).

Unlike the 2TB model the 8TB is a dual side model and so on the other side of the PCB we find another 8GB DDR3L DRAM package and four extra Micron 96-layer QLC NAND flash modules (1024GB each) all underneath a sticker with the serial number, capacity and a 2D barcode (product warranty is clearly void if you remove this sticker).

It's also worth pointing out that Sabrent has launched two very efficient Rocket NVMe heatsinks (black and white) which i seriously suggest getting if you decide on one of their drives, especially high capacity ones (the same of course applies for other brand drives).
