Realmente rápido y sólido.

Me ha gustado mucho este SSD. Me permite ejecutar perfectamente el sistema operativo de Mac desde el mismo disco duro con prácticamente la misma rapidez que el SSD interno.

高速で発熱もあまりなかった。

レビューでは発熱するというものが多かったが、ごく普通の発熱でした。スピードもIntel Macとの組み合わせでは想定内の十分なスピードでした。気に入ったので1月の特売に合わせて、すぐに追加で大容量のものも購入しました。

Sabrent Rocket XTRM-Q 2TB Thunderbolt 3 Externe SSD

Ich habe die SSD Extern an einen iMac angeschlossen (Thunderbolt 2) und auf der SSD MacOS installiert.Danach wurde 1TB grosses Backup per MIgrationsassisten eingespielt, was ca. 4 Stunden dauerte. Hierbei wurde die SSD tatsächlich sehr heiß. 70°C Aussentemperatur am Gehäuse war die Spitze. Dazwischen auch mal weniger. Ca. 65 °C. Ich habe nicht dauerhaft gemessen.Nachdem die Migration abgeschlossen war, habe ich die SSD über nacht abkühlen lassen.Jetzt wird sie im Betrieb nie mehr als Handwarm.Ich denke die Temperaturspitzen treten nur beim Schrieben großer Datenmengen auf.pro===Verarbeitung und Haptikkein unangenehmer plastikgeruchSchrieb/Leseleistung unter TB3 nah an den Spezifikationen des Herstellersneutral===ob das silikoncase wirklich bei stürzen schützt bezweifele iches schütze auf jeden fall das metall vor kratzern oder mackenTB3 kabel ist reativ kurz, für imac aussreichendnegativ======Temperaturspitzten bei hohem durchsatz

Great product at a great price

I use this for vector graphics, map-making, data management and general productivity. I wouldn’t recommend this for those that create and then delete lots of very large files on a daily basis — like those who create and edit large video projects. But this is a very good choice for most other uses, applications and workflows.

Wow, super fast

OSX TimeMachine backed up 600TB in around 30 minutes from a MacBookPro 16" with Thunderbolt cable supplied with this external drive. Copied 250TB of photos to the same disk in around 15 min using a simple copy / paste. So much faster than same backup using spinning disk external storage using the same connection & cable type, and faster than a brand new ITB SDXC card directly connected to my Mac.

Fast delivery (within 2 working days) & good product.

The product came well packed. I used it with my iMac. It came with Thunderbolt cable, and also a Sabrent Shockproof Protector. The drive does becomes a bit warm, but so far, it has not given me any problem.Copying files to and from the drive is very smooth. Good buy indeed.

Very, very, very hot

It's very fast, and it works (so far). But I'm a big techie who's owned plenty of drives, computers, camera gear, etc. and I've never seen a device run anywhere near this hot. You can quite literally burn yourself touching this. I don't have children or pets, but I'm concerned about the longevity of something like this. Fingers crossed.

Over the Moon!

I bought a 2TB digital drive and quickly ran out of space. So needed a bigger drive. After looking around I found the Sabrent Rocket. What a machine! Tiny so it doesn't take up a lot of space, this drive is a real rocket.Fast, reliable, easy to set up and use, the Sabrent Rocket does it all. And the most differential between the 2TB drive I first purchased, and the Sabrent was $200. Think about that. $200 more for twice the space.My 2TB drive was a La Cie. I've bought a half dozen solid-state drives from LaCie and have always loved them. Given this was a different brand I was a bit hesitant at first. But once I installed it, I had zero hesitation. This is a great drive at a great price. Tough to beat.

great product, fast, light and portable

i wanted an external hard drive i could use for the main operating system to replace the internal hard drive on my mac, don't need huge storage so this was plenty, works great

The latest OS on Apple computers, Monterey, cannot format the Rocket.

Their customer service knows that the latest operating system on Mac cannot format the Rocket. It is strange to me that they do not share this information on the description of the product. You need to find a Mac with the older operating system and format the Rocket there.

Very good, BUT!!

Great external drive and very compact BUT it does not come with a Thunderbolt 3 cable included, I had to buy it separately……….That’s a no go especially at that price point.The read and write speeds are incredible!! Around 2500 MB/s with a zip packed folder and over 313 GB in size - nice Sabrent!! 😎All in all I can definitely recommend this external NVME to professionals. I’m using it for all my libraries of Logic Pro Audio Units. EASTWEST Hollywood Orchestra for example is loading instantly with no lags or waiting time 🤙 Changing presets is also possible with those mindblowing speeds.

Incredible Drive. Incredible speeds. Great Plex Drive!

I have one of these drives for my Plex media.I have another one of these drives for my family videos and pictures.These drives are very fast, large capacity, and excellent build quality.You pay a lot to get these drives, but it really improved the performance on my Plex server. Highly recommended.

Revival of Old Drives

This worked perfectly and was just what I needed to keep from disposing of two old, high capacity drives.

Sabrent USB Type-C SATA 2.5" y 3.5" Dual Bay Hard Drive Docking Station

I buy the drive docking station of mark "SABRENT", Then that I received, I agree with the logistics, service, price-quality and delivery time. I must be fair and appreciate the attention provided and I will be happy to find products from the same line that meet my needs. Thanks

Good for external usage.

It works great using an old SATA drive as an external drive. I have yet to try using it to copy drives since I don't have an extra one to copy to.

It did not last 2 years…

I was using this to back up my personal doc. Pics, and movies. After less than 2 years of use, one of the dock stopped working. It is not cheap purchase and expected to last longer than 2years.Contacted seller, but they told me that I had to have extended warranty in order to get replacement. If you are ok with dock to be multinational, maybe this is OK product. My case? No. I would not buy the same product again. Expect last more.

Perfect for what I needed

This Optiplex replaces a previous version in a small form. The performance is as though it was brand new. The only issue I had was getting software updates from Microsoft. You need a specific KB file to bring it far enough up to date to install proper usb drivers and for Microsoft update to operate. After I figured that out and got it completed it now is exactly as it should with ample memory and HD space to do everything I need. Shipping was faster than I expected too!

Perfect tool for checking old drives

So simple. Connect to PC, slap old drives in and out to scan them and transfer. Nice.

As fast as the internal storage on M1 Mac

This is a great way to extend storage on an M1 Mac Mini - extremely fast and capable, and much cheaper than Apple's provided options.
