Sabrent 512GB Rocket Nano External Aluminum SSD Review

The Sabrent Rocket Nano arrived in a bespoke metal tin with the SSD packed tightly into a blue foam cut-out, it came with two black connection leads, a USB-C to USB-C and a USB type A to USB-C in the other section of the tin.


My first impressions was how small it was fitting easily into the palm of my hand and aseptically the sandblasted aluminium finish looks really nice along with a good solid protection for the internals, the tin case it comes in is a neat presentation box and a storage case if not being used.


I hooked it up to the laptop I plan to use this with which is running Windows 10 and has USB 3.0 ports, the Rocket Nano has a built in USB 3.2 so I was aware I would not be able to achieve the maximum speeds capable running from USB 3.2 to USB 3.2 but wanted to get a real true test of the speeds I could expect in circumstances I would be using it in.


This is plug and play on Windows 10 so was instantly recognised assigning a drive letter, I ran through several tests using CrystalDiskMark which is accepted as a good simple and reliable disk benchmark software, I ran tests under the default setting, peak performance and a real world peak performance mix, I got very acceptable results across the board with the expected drop of in transfer speeds being perfectly acceptable and allowing for running from USB 3.2 to USB 3.0.


Overall a very nice tiny sleek SSD drive, it has a very sturdy aluminium case that not only looks great but gives good protection to the internals, it delivers very acceptable speeds for an external SSD drive and comes in a neat presentation/carry case. I can’t really fault it so have given it top marks.
