Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/2000MB/s (SB-RKTQ-1TB)

[SSD] Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/2000MB/s - 119.98 (129.98 - 10.00) AMAZON CLIP ON COUPON

Looks pretty good. Two things I’d recommend. Get an m.2 ssd. They are ridiculously fast and you can get one for less than the drive you’re looking at. Also consider a 2070 instead of the 2060s. They are the same price and the 2070 gets SLIGHTLY better performance. The difference is barley noticeable, but for the same price you might as well.

Your problem is most likely just the external storage not being fast enough. If it's a recently built PC you probably have m.2 slots on the motherboard. Buy something like this.

I've got a Lenovo Legion 5i for working on large datasets and files in geography work in future school projects, plus some supplemental programing, with some low priority gaming on the side. It came with a 500+ GB SSD NVME M.2, and looking to buy another around 1TB.

I was looking at this sabrent rocket one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lz4LFbFAZBNQX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Is there any reason I should pay any more for storage at that size? Should I look into SSDs with heat sinks?

I also know SATA can be cheaper from my limited research. I'm happy to learn more why that might be a better option, but also interested if above M.2 is a good choice if I had to do an SSD. The legion will allow me to upgrade my battery type but only if I'm not using a SATA.

Thanks so much!

Legit question, why is this considered a good deal when you can buy a fast m.2 ssd for $10 more? Like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZYWTBP Unless SATA SSDs are still good if you don't have m.2 slots?

Just trying to learn.

Sabrent Rocket I've read online they are one of the bests drives for the money. Currently sittings with one in my cart, 1TB for just under $120 USD. 3200 Mb per second DTR and PCI Express x4.
it's got close to the same stats as the Samsung 970 EVO Plus but $60.00 USD cheaper.

Do you think something like this would be compatible?

Also, have you looked into upgrading the ram, I’ve found some people saying dual rank does work and some people saying it doesn’t.

On the same boat as OP. Is this the right Rocket Q? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE&psc=1

30% is not true its doesn't make a really big difference and the max is not needed but I want to pick a mobo that's more future proof I just like the case the power supply I didn't see. the sata ssd is a not really so good for the same price you can get this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=ox_sc_act_image_6?smid=A2ELBRY1PH9SPX&psc=1 and this is much faster 3600 makes it beter for the future and makes a bigger difference than Cas and is from a more reputable brand and it's cost only 7 bucks more

Samsung is probably the best choice, but their m.2 drives are way overpriced imo. If you want to do your own research pretty much all m.2 drives to my knowledge have that dram cache I was talking about. So a quick google search to make sure the brand is reputable and reliable should be sufficient. I personally use this one in my gaming pc and it works wonderfully and is priced very reasonably:

Get a an nvme ssd. This one for your criteria: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_P3a5EbHC5G1DA

Edited to correct terminology.

I used this cheap Sabrent and had zero issues.

Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-RKTQ-1TB/dp/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=1tb+nvme&qid=1596527572&sr=8-3

How does this compared to Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/2000MB/s (SB-RKTQ-1TB)

That is $100 on Amazon right now?

I recently bought this 1tb nvme drive and have been happy with it, it's the cheapest 1tb one i had found with a dram cache. Always a good idea to browse r/buildapcsales, the guys in the comments there will usually mention stuff that isn't as easy to figure out about the products.

Isn’t this drive a better bang for your buck?

So I was just looking around and the one I was going to suggest to you is $100 and 1tb but it’s out of stock right now. So I would suggest this one I know it’s a little bit over your budget but just by $9 but it is NVMe so it’s faster read and write speeds. Take a look

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_i_-VmkEbK4AE1V4

Thought I should mention that this is the Rocket Q, which is PCIe 3.0. Not 4.0. I own this drive and it’s great, but it’s not PCIe 4.0. Going for $120 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KV6vFbAF8J4MW

Will this NVME drive:

work with my gigabyte ga-z270-hd3 motherboard? Any arguments for a different NVME drive at $120?

The parts you have will work but instead of 1 HDD and 1 sata 2.5" SSD, I'd recommend a single NVME m.2 drive.

For example this is currently $120

https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-RKTQ-1TB/dp/B07ZZYWTBP/

and you'd get 1tb of super fast storage, instead of 500gb of fast-ish storage and 1tb of extremely slow storage. You'd also use 2 fewer power connectors and have a bunch more space inside your case.

I see this one for $108. If you're putting it in the 2nd slot, you wouldn't hit the max speeds of the other one due to 2xlane only.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_nU.HFb0YZMJX2

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_W3xWEbB9W15F2

I have the 2tb version amazing NVMe.

It's good enough, but the point was that I picked it up because it was the cheapest NVME drive I could find. My point was more that almost any NVME SSD will fit your need.

This might be the best deal for you right now.

Is this worth the extra cheddar vs the MX?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A2ELBRY1PH9SPX&psc=1

There's definitely a speed difference, but won't really notice it for gaming. 500gb is just gonna fill up fast

Replace just the HDD or both the HDD and SSD? If it were up to me, I’d keep the extra storage (HDD) if you think you’d need it...

If not? I’d go with this , it’s just $10 more and offers almost 1200MHz more in reading against the Crucial P1. (It’ll be generally faster, more bang for your buck.)

Yeah you could get an 500GB NVME Crucial P1 or MX500 for +/- $5.00.

The 1TB Rocket Q is on sale for $108 with Coupon right now too.

Hell, you're still too late, for $120, you can get a 1TB NVMe

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LF2EFb8RZSZZP

I got a few of my old ssds in raid, and it doesn't compete in speed at all

Since this is your first build, I would aim for an Nvidia GPU instead of an AMD GPU. It would be better to avoid the potential AMD GPU issues.

Do you need the 2 TB hard drive? You could take the savings from not buying one and expand the size of the SSD and also jump into an NVMe SSD around the same price, or maybe there's a cheaper 1 TB SATA SSD around.

I'll put it out there that the Ryzen 3600 CPU is one generation newer than the Ryzen 2600 CPU, and is faster (by one generation) accordingly. It also carries a higher price tag, so may not be viable.

Hi, you'll need another NVMe SSD to upgrade storage. I'd go with a 1 TB Sabrent Rocket Q, a well known SSD that is affordable.

Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3200/2000MB/s (SB-RKTQ-1TB) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_c4p.EbD0NA0PP it’s $119 and it also has the Acronis so should be able to copy your data over easier

Got it.

One last question; I found this one too, at $120 with a coupon that gives 3200/2000 mbps read/write speeds. It's only 300 less read mbps, but 1000 less write mbps.

If this pc would mostly be used for leisure and gaming, would there be any noticeable difference between the two?

Thanks for the build! I took a look at it, and it looks like the 1TB SSD is sold out for the near future. I was taking a look at some alternates and was wondering if this is compatible with the rest of the build.

that SDD is a rip off get a NVME SSD better performance and you can even find it for less

EDIT: something like this I would 100% replace your SSD with besides that everything else is solid

If you can stretch a bit for the extra cash, I would pair this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_fpAjFbVZS923P

with a 1 or 2 tb hdd

or for simplicity you could go for that ssd in a 2tb capacity and add another drive later, but that would be even more expensive.

This seems pretty decent https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07ZZYWTBP/ref=psdcmw_1292116011_t2_B07ZPRV8JY

Same quality as the evo:
