This ssd drive delivers fast transfer rates just as advertised, very small and a great companion for my new iPhone 15 Pro Max for high res video filming. very light weight and color matches my titanium iPhone. Great quality material by far one of the best drives ever. I have tested it with both my Iphone and macbook pro and so far I am super happy with it.

Fast, Great Price, and COMPACT

I am not one to purchase an item without thoroughly reviewing my options. This SSD was not exception. I extensively reviewed other products in this category, went through a painstaking trek of brushing up on my modern storage tech, and finally came to my conclusion on what product I needed to buy. I was in the market for fast and high capacity EXTERNAL storage. I own a 2019 MacBook Pro with 256GB of storage.

Firstly, I reviewed SATA-based SSDs, which are fast, but not the fastest. I initially was going to go with the ever-popular Samsung T5 SSD drive in this category. After doing a little more digging, I learned of the newer and faster NVME drives on the market. At this point, I found out that you can take an NVME drive meant for insertion directly into PC and place it into an enclosure to create an external drive. Although not nearly as fast as direct insertion into a computer, these external drives can reach upwards of 1000 Mbps theoretically, whereas SATA-based external hard drives linger around the 500 Mbps theoretically. In a perfect world, Thunderbolt 3 enclosures would be the standard with their insane speeds that my MacBook can harness, but it is not feasible right now unless you have deep pockets. I accepted that, for the price point, I would need to go with NVME or SATA.

After checking out more on Amazon, I realized that both NVME and SATA drives were very similarly priced, so I decided for NVME. Why would I go with a slower drive for the same price, right? After seeing glowing reviews and great price point, I then decided to go with the Sabrent Rocket 1TB NVME SSD drive and their external enclosure. However, I really wished that the enclosures for NVME drives were a little smaller. I then took a trek to find smaller enclosures, and this led me to look at other Sabrent products. That is how I stumbled across this product. They had just been uploaded to their store, and I had not seen anything like it in all of my product research.

Once I saw on my computer screen how small this drive was, I didn’t believe it. It is smaller than any other SATA or NVME based drives I have personally seen. After seeing it in person, I am even more impressed. Portability is very important to me, as I will need this on a daily basis due to Apple’s horrific and pricy native storage options. It was very close to the price of the Sabrent Rocket + Enclosure but in a MUCH smaller package. This thing is more like a bigger flash drive rather than a small SSD. That’s how compact it is.

It is fast. On my 2019 MacBook Pro, I am consistently getting around 600+ Mbps on average tasks, which is fantastic in the real world when it comes to external drives. Also, my MacBook recognizes the drive almost instantly upon insertion. Pro tip: Plug this product or any other SSD directly into your USB-C port on your computer to get the full speed benefits. With MacBooks, a hub is almost mandatory now, and plugging this into those hubs will limit your transfer speeds substantially.

My one gripe is that I was not able to find much detailed information on this drive regarding its internals and potential lifespan, but I decided to take the leap anyway given the reception of Sabrent’s other products. So far, I’m very glad I did!

All in all, I got a much smaller and faster drive for the same price point as other leading competitors, and that is a win in my book.

Simply amazing

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2020

Capacity: 2TBColor: BLACKVerified Purchase

I purchased the 2TB version and have been using it daily for several weeks. It operates a LOT faster than any USB thumb drive or the fastest SD card. I have hooked it up to a pretty fast, latest generation ThinkPad running Windows 10, with USB3.1 (10Gbit/sec speed) and find the Rocket Nano to be amazingly useful.
A beautiful feature of this drive is that I can also plug it into my Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and read/write files using my phone. No extra adapters or drivers were needed to use it on my smart phone.
I have not tried it on a MAC yet, but if you format the drive in exFAT, then a MAC or PC (or Android) device can access the files.
It’s as fast as my computer’s internal SSD on reads. The write speed is something that varies with the type of files you are writing. If you’re copying very large files, such as an ISO from a DVD movie, the speed is “wicked fast”. When backing up my business files, which are hundreds of small files under 2MB in size, the write speed is noticeably slower. However, even with writing small files, this drive is still FAR faster than the fastest uSD cards.
Writing a single 1.7GB file took 7.89 seconds… about 215MB/second.
Writing a directory that was 4.30GB, containing files that average about 6MB in size, took 30.38 seconds… around 141.5MB/seconds.
Note: when writing a huge amount of data at once, such as loading the drive with a 900GB file transfer, it does get quite hot. I accidentally forced it into thermal shutdown during such a large file transfer, but no data was lost and the drive was not damaged. When thermal shutdown occurred, I cancelled the file transfer and disconnected it from my PC. Waiting 30-40 seconds for it to cool off and then plugging it into my USB-C port again allowed the remainder of my transfer to be completed. I seriously doubt that many users will experience thermal shutdown… I was really “beating on it”, transferring nearly 1TB of CAD files all at once.

Fast and very compact

Excellent speed in a very compact format. Appreciate the fact that it comes with two cables and a protective (rubber?) cover.
I don’t think there’s more compact storage devices to be found. It might not be the cheapest when looking strictly at speed and storage, but if you’re looking for something that’ll fit easily in small pockets, this is the device.
