Sabrent Rocket Enterprise PCIe 4.0 Debut with 7,000MB/s Speeds for $4,488
Sabrent has made its debut in the enterprise storage sector, positioning itself as a direct competitor to industry leaders like Micron and Samsung. The company recently unveiled its first high-capacity enterprise SSD, the Rocket Enterprise PCIe 4.0 U.2/U.3 NVMe, featuring a Samsung. Mushkin has launched its very first high-capacity enterprise SSD, the maximum capacity of which is 30.72 TB of Rocket Enterprise PCIe 4.0 U.2/U.3 NVMe. This release directly competes with Micron’s 9550 NVMe enterprise SSD, which came out in 2023.
Designed for data centers and heavy computational applications, the Sabrent Rocket Enterprise PCIe 4.0 SSD is marketed specifically as a non-consumer product. The top-end 30.72 TB (on the drive over the price tag) model carries a retail price of $4,488 highlighting its premium targeting. Other capacity and pricing options include:
- 1.92 TB: $353
- 3.84 TB: $760
- 7.68 TB: $1,371
- 15.36 TB: $2,439
- 30.72 TB: $4,488
Key Specifications of Sabrent Rocket Enterprise PCIe 4.0:
- Performance: Read sequential/write speeds of 7,000 MB/s and 6,800 MB/s. Random 4K read performance is up to 1.6 million IOPS, and write up to 180,000 IOPS, with read latency as low as 90µs, and write 15µs.
- Endurance: Up to 1 drive write per day (1 DWPD) for 30.72 TB, with the model enduring more than 56PB of writes. If data integrity is paramount, the uncorrectable bit error rate (UBER) is less than 1 per 10¹⁸.
- Reliability: 2.5 million hours mean time between failures (MTBF), along with consistently low latency in 4K
- Power Efficiency: 21W (active) and 6W (idle)
- Interface: Supports U.2 and U.3 interfaces.
Additional Features:
- Protection of End-to-end (E2E) metadata.
- Built-in partitioning of namespaces and power-loss immunity.
- NVMe Management Interface (NVMe-MI) over SMBus and Vital Product Data (VPD) support
- Adding Enterprise-grade workloads to this SSD with stability and adaptation for high-demand environments
