SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD 4TB Internal Solid State 3450MB/s Read, PCIe 3.0 X4 2280, M2 Hard Drive High Performance Compatible with PCs, NUCs Laptops, and Desktops (SB-ROCKET-4TB)

Product Information

Like the 870 QVO, the QX is based on QLC NAND and should offer about the same performance. They are also priced about the same, though the Teamgroup QX comes with an inferior endurance rating at 2,000 TBW versus the QVO’s 2,880 TBW. Other 8TB M.2 NVMe/PCIe Models 1. Corsair MP600 Pro XT With better heat management comes better stability during peak performance. The slim M.2 combined with a low profile, graphene aluminium heat spreader is optimised for intense usage in gaming laptops and desktops. The optional heatsink model delivers an additional layer of thermal dispersion so when the game heats up, your PS5™ console stays cool. Kingston FURY Renegade SSD matches the top-tier performance of the Kingston FURY Renegade memory line to produce the ultimate team that will keep you at the top of your game. If you are looking for 8 TB of fast storage space at a somewhat reasonable price, the Corsair MP600 PRO NH is one of the most interesting new releases. It’s based on the Phison E18 controller and durable TLC NAND, resulting in an outstanding 6,000 TBW endurance rating. List of 4TB M.2 (PCIe/NVMe) SSDs Adata’s XPG Gammix S70 Blade stands out in the crowd by using the somewhat unusual IG5236 “Rainier” controller from Innogrit. Although its random IOPS performance cannot compete with the class-leading Gen4 SSDs, sequential performance is very impressive at 7,400 MB/s (read) and 6,600 MB/s. Launched in 2022, the Kingston KC3000 is among the fastest 4TB M.2 SSD at the time of writing. It is based on the Phison E18 controller and ultra-fast 176-layer Micron TLC NAND. These are the same parts as found in the Seagate FireCuda 530 (see below), but Kingston’s model seems to offer slightly better performance than the average E18 drive. Note that this drive is also available in a slightly faster version sold under the name Fury Renegade.

What mainly affects the endurance rating is the type of NAND memory chips use. These are exemplified in Samsung’s 2.5″ lineup by: If you have invested in a PCI-Express 5.0-capable system (based on e.g. AMD B650/X670 or select Intel Z790 boards), the best-performing 4TB SSD is currently the Crucial T700. With sequential throughput of up to 12,400 MB/s, this drive is a leader among the still relatively few SSDs that utilize the Gen5 interface. For the same reason, it is also the fastest M.2 SSD overall. Corsair is more active than other manufacturers in the high-capacity space, with several drives on the market with confusingly similar designations. The MP600 Pro NH has a lot in common with the MP600 Pro XT, however, as they both use the Phison E18 controller and TLC NAND. There are also a few differences, most notably that the NH comes with no heat spreader and a more modest price tag. Sequential performance is also slightly behind at 7,000 MB/s (read) and 6,800 MB/s, but you get the same massive 6,000 TBW endurance rating with the 8TB model.the 860 PRO, which is one of the increasingly rare SSDs that still use multi-level cell (MLC) NAND.

Many of the 4TB or larger alternatives are technically entry-level M.2 SSDs and frequently use more inexpensive parts, such as budget controllers and QLC NAND. Here is an extended list of current 4TB M.2 PCIe SSDs at the time of writing. It is roughly sorted by random IOPS throughput, which tends to be the more accurate indicator of real-world performance. One of the very few high-end M.2 drives that come in an 8TB version is the Corsair MP600 Pro XT. This flagship SSD from Corsair uses premium 176-layer NAND memory chips and the Phison E18 controller, resulting in sequential read/write performance of 7,100 MB/s and 6,800 MB/s, respectively. Random performance in the 4TB and 8TB capacities is also very impressive at 1M/1.2M read/write IOPS. The endurance rating is 6,000 TBW. Additionally, it comes bundled with a large aluminum heat spreader that is not optional but can be removed if it doesn’t fit in your build. Some highlights from the list (other than those mentioned above): 1. High-End 4TB M.2/NVMe SSD: Kingston KC3000If you just want lots of really fast storage to go, you actually have quite a few options. Unlike hard drives, solid state drives are not limited by the size of spinning platters, only by how the manufacturers decide to arrange the memory chips and layout of the PCB. Therefore they may vary greatly in size and shape. As mentioned, the list of 8TB consumer SSDs is not particularly long at this point in time, and availability is often limited.
