8 TB Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD falls below US$1,000 on Amazon

[Redaktion]

Developed in the United States and available on Amazon for less than a year, the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus NVMe PCIe 4.0 8 TB SSD can reach 7,100 MB/s and 6,600 MB/s when reading/writing data while used on a PCIe Gen4 motherboard. The US$1,499.99 list price is now down to the lowest value in 30 days, so those interested can get it for US$999.99.

Price is still beyond a criminal joke. $600 would be about right.

While I have to agree with you, this deal still looks good if you check out other similar drives on Amazon.
Corsair MP600 PRO XT 8TB Gen4 PCIe x4 NVMe M.2 - US$1,129 (US$1,189 list price)
Fantom Drives VENOM8 8TB NVMe Gen 4 M.2 - US$998.95 (from US$1,049.95)
TEAMGROUP MP34Q NVMe 1.3 PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 - US$1,256.16

If these products were gouged from the very start (and all the rivals just needs to pay attention to each other's pricing schemes doing the year) surely ANY reduction on that product will give the ILLUSION that a fake current deal needs to be considered.

The fact is, you have people that studio for Bachelor, MBA, etc. degrees just to become professional crooks to cheat consumers.


Just saying...

You can get 8TB Kioxia CD6 enterprise drives for just $800 in a 2.5" pcie gen 4x4 form factor.

That'll give you Power Loss Protection and better write caches. Just get an m.2 to U.2 adapter.

Along with the growth of SSD capacity, the question arises of storing "cold" data on them without updating the contents of the cells. And then consumers will find that 3D TLC, compared to MLC, rapidly loses charge in the cells after 3 years, even with little wear, and along with the charge level, the reading speed quickly drops, and then the data stops being read at all. Hoping that an 8TB SSD will keep data for 10 years is almost fantastic. And the problems with the arrival of QLC/PLC will increase in terms of time for data storage without updating the cells.
