Sabrent 512GB Rocket Nano External Aluminum SSD (silver) (SB-512-NANO)

I have used several external drives with different enclosures. Using this for running VMs on it while connected with USB-C. Didn't have any issue. Speed tested with CrystalDiskMark shows 901MB/s, which is fastest speed as compared to other drives I have used. The outer cover gets warm when using it continuously which I think is normal as it didn't affect the drive performance. Will update the review, if encounter any issue.

I live in Al Ain and purchased 2 items through Store4pc-MEast on Amazon. They were delivered 1 day after ordering - amazing. Item 1 was a Sabrent 2.5" Sata Hard Drive/SSD to USB 3.1 Adapter which I purchased to hook up a Samsung 860 QVO 4TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD as an external HD for a mid-2015 MacBook Pro, after other adapters had failed. This Adapter worked like a gem with this SATA drive. It came with a great little manual and, as soon as it was connected to the MacBook it was recognized by Disk Utility through which I reformatted and began using the 4TB straight away. Item 2 was the Sabrent Rocket Nano 2TB External Aluminum SSD. It's a nifty little drive you can take anywhere and came with an invitation to extend warranty to 2 years. I can recommend both products and will definitely return to this seller.

The SSD actually very impressive on speeds on my 16" MacBook Pro. The size is very small and the design is simple but it stands out! Sometimes the SSD will get warm when I transfer very big files to or from it.

I overall enjoyed the product for its small compact size, especially when travelling, unfortunately within a year of usage it broke, and I lost all the data on it. I reached out to Sarbent for a replacement, the process went on and on for 2 years, I sent them the broken ssd to US, and they attempted to send the replacement to UAE which was lost on the way, and they didn't want to proceed again. They mentioned they don't have specifically v1 I purchased in UAE, and weren't willing to provide the v2 which was in stock here, as well as refused to simply refund. All they keep suggesting to send replacement to US address, and I explained multiple times I don't live in US and this is not convenient at all, and the purchase was made in UAE.

Good quality and perfect size and I used it for my Tesla and it works perfectly

Wonderful

For My Data

Product has proven unreliable. Rocket nano is not always recognised by windows. Sometimes you are lucky and nano is visible, other times you need to remove the usb (risking data damage) and plug it again crossing fingers. It gets more recognised by usb c vs usb 3.1. This is the main reason I decided to return the product. Speed is also unreliable, its peaks depend on your hardware, in my case it went above 350MB/second, however its random reading and writing is really ugly and goes as down as few bunches of KB/second. Its third issue was immediately noted, as soon as you move or copy significant amount of data it heats significantly, and this probably affects its performance too
