Sabrent on Friday announced the latest addition to the Rocket family of high-performance SSDs, the Rocket 5. The drive is rated for sequential read speeds of more than 14,000 MB/s and up to 1.4 million random read/write IOPS. the fastest PCIe 5.0 drive powered by Phison yet released. The Rocket 5 will run with the usual motherboard-supplied coolers, but will also come with a large cooling system that includes a heat pipe and a fan. Today, high performance PCIe Gen5 SSDs based on the Phison PS5026-E26 controller typically offer maximum sequential read speeds of 10 to 12 GB/s depending on the NAND generation used with the powerful controller.
Early drives Fax Lists were paired with 1600 MT/sec NAND , as a result, newer drives were paired with 2000 MT/s NAND . But with 2400 MT/s NAND finally available, Sabrent has been working with Phison to push the limits of what their controller can do, finally getting close to saturating the nearly 16 GB/s PCIe 5.0 x4 interface. So, Sabrent went on a mission to create an SSD based on the Phison E26 that can fully utilize the PCIe 5.0 x4 interface. The company first revealed plans to build a drive with sequential read speeds of more than 14,000MB/s last March, and then showed off an SSD that could hit 14,179MB/s in July.
It's one thing to come up with a specific performance level in the lab, but it's another to build a reliable storage product that consistently reaches that speed and doesn't cost an arm and a leg, which is why the company said it will take some time to build its rocket. 5 commercial products. The lack of availability of fast 3D NAND has been a major problem as Sabrent (and other drive makers) wait for Micron and others to begin shipping 2400 MT/s TLC NAND at high volumes - which is now happening. On Friday, Sabrent finally unveiled its Rocket 5 family, which will consist of three models: the entry-level 1 TB and 2 TB models, while the 4 TB model will follow.
