SABRENT Rocket Nano Rugged 1TB USB 3.2 10Gb/s External Aluminum Water Proof [IP67] SSD with Bumper Guard in Grey (SB-1TB-NAWP)

2TB Sabrent Nano (SB-2TB-NANO-BLK)- A tiny, high-quality enclosure (JMS583).- Sabrent 2242 m.2 NVMe SSD DRAM-less, Low-Power (Phison E13T).- Very good synthetic benchmarks results (Crystal Disk Mark 7 attached).- The device does get warm but it does not thermal throttle.- Real-world transfer speeds are a LOT slower than with a decent 2280 m.2 NVMe SSD + separate enclosure.- Sabrent's DRAM-less m.2 slows down a lot as soon as cache is exhausted.- Also some connectivity issues with my AMD X570 motherboard (probably due to JMS583).I did a real-world file transfer (863 files across 48 folders, total of 245GB | 1TB Samsung 970 Pro OS drive ):Write to: Asus Arion + 2TB Adata SX8200 Pro | 4m 57s | 844.71 MB/sWrite to: 2TB Sabrent Rocket Nano | 9m 02s = 542s | 462.88 MB/sRead from: Asus Arion + 2TB Adata SX8200 Pro | 5m 07s = 307s | 817.20 MB/sRead from: 2TB Sabrent Rocket Nano | 7m 44s = 464s | 540.69 MB/sI got the Asus Arion and 2TB Adata SX8200 Pro at about the same price as the Sabrent Rocket Nano 2TB. The Asus enclosure is heavier and larger, but that is the only downside. No connectivity issues, SSD runs a little cooler, but as with the example above, performs 82% faster in large writes, and 51% in large reads! Since I copy a lot from and to the external drives often... As nice and sleek as the Sabrent Nano is, the alterntive with a 2280 m.2 makes a lot more sense. If you only ever copy a couple Gigabytes at a time, this will be less relevant to you.Unless you MUST have one of the smallest NVMe enclosure, do consider alternatives. I am returning this to use the Asus enclosure and the Adata SSD. Most probably even a 2280 Sabrent enclosure and 2280 Sabrent m.2 will do a lot better than the Sabrent Rocket Nano, but I have not tested this. Again, this will very likely give you much better real-world file transfer performance for larger datasets. If you copy any set of data beyond about 20-25GB (ish), the device will slow down to transfer at around 450MB/s write and 550MB/s read in my case.Also if you have X570, maybe also find enclosures with alternative controllers to the JMS583. I have had zero issues with either ASM2362 or RTL9210 based enclosures (e.g. Asus Arion, Orico M2PJM-C3).

Presentation / packaging excellent, design immaculate! Works out of the box! Recommended!

Very pleased to find this. Tiny device, great data capacity (2TB) and just as fast as the internal SSD in my Mac Mini.Super piece of design! To think, the first external HDD I ever had was SCSI, 40MB and the size of a brick...Don't know how durable it is, as I've only just bought it. But it looks solid enough!

Great speed and incredibly small for a 2TBWorth the money

gets very, very hot
