SABRENT External SSD 1TB, Portable Hard Drive NVMe USB 3.2x2 1000 MB/s Read, USB 3.2 Cable C to A and Type A to C Included, External M.2 SSD Aluminum Shell 2.85 in Length (SB-1TB-NANO)

My experience is only for the 1TB version. For some reasons none of the reviews perform actual real world transfers. In CrystalDiskMark you can see read/writes at 900+ MB/s, but: In the real world, you are looking at 500MB/s to 550MB/s writes copying a large file, assuming you are using a GEN2 port. Reads were generally a little higher at 600MB/s to 750B/s. When connecting using GEN1 you will max out at 400MB/s. I found read/writes were sustainable even when copying 500+ GB in one go. Its gets warm, but not worryingly so. These speeds are still great, but bear this in mind when comparing to other options. This is a USB-C device, not a thunderbolt device. Build quality it above excellent. Packaging is so good you do not want to throw it away. The only issue I had, which may be due to my computer, was that when I swapped between the USB-C port and USB3.1 port on the same computer, the device needed the drivers to be removed, otherwise it only transferred at USB2 speeds.

Such a neat little SS it's so tiny! I use it as extended storage for my playstation and works a dream. Nicely packaged and presented also.

Good product but this is touted as very quick - wasn't overly impressed with speed

Tried in 3 different PCs. Windows plug in tone but not recognised. Rubbish! Instant return.

The Sabrent Rocket Nano arrived in a bespoke metal tin with the SSD packed tightly into a blue foam cut-out, it came with two black connection leads, a USB-C to USB-C and a USB type A to USB-C in the other section of the tin. My first impressions was how small it was fitting easily into the palm of my hand and aseptically the sandblasted aluminium finish looks really nice along with a good solid protection for the internals, the tin case it comes in is a neat presentation box and a storage case if not being used. I hooked it up to the laptop I plan to use this with which is running Windows 10 and has USB 3.0 ports, the Rocket Nano has a built in USB 3.2 so I was aware I would not be able to achieve the maximum speeds capable running from USB 3.2 to USB 3.2 but wanted to get a real true test of the speeds I could expect in circumstances I would be using it in. This is plug and play on Windows 10 so was instantly recognised assigning a drive letter, I ran through several tests using CrystalDiskMark which is accepted as a good simple and reliable disk benchmark software, I ran tests under the default setting, peak performance and a real world peak performance mix, I got very acceptable results across the board with the expected drop of in transfer speeds being perfectly acceptable and allowing for running from USB 3.2 to USB 3.0. Overall a very nice tiny sleek SSD drive, it has a very sturdy aluminium case that not only looks great but gives good protection to the internals, it delivers very acceptable speeds for an external SSD drive and comes in a neat presentation/carry case. I can’t really fault it so have given it top marks.

This is really useful. I can back up all my data, including photos, very quickly and easily. This works with both my husband’s computer as well as my laptop, with no faffing about! It holds a huge amount and saves having to buy an exterior hard drive to do back-ups with. It is very small, easy to hide discreetly in the house, so would probably be secure even if we were unlucky enough to have our pcs stolen. Love it!

This is quality and built really sturdily. I'm impressed with the transfer speed and have moved some larger applications from my work laptop onto it to increase their performance and the performance of my laptop. The storage tin is a great addition and slips into a side pocket of my laptop bag.
