help Sabrent Rocket4 Plus-G FAQ

Is the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus-G a PCIe 5.0 SSD?

No. Despite the Plus-G name, it is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive using an M.2 2280 connection, with advertised sequential reads around 7 GB/s under suitable conditions.

What does the G in Rocket 4 Plus-G mean for gaming?

The Plus-G uses firmware optimized for Microsoft's DirectStorage workload. DirectStorage support also depends on Windows, the graphics stack and a game that actually implements the technology.

Will the Rocket 4 Plus-G work in a PlayStation 5?

Its PCIe 4.0 performance is in the range expected for PS5 expansion storage, but the drive must fit Sony's physical requirements and use an appropriate heatsink. The DirectStorage-focused firmware provides no special advantage to a PS5.

Does the Rocket 4 Plus-G need a heatsink in a desktop PC?

A heatsink is advisable during sustained transfers or gaming workloads because high-performance NVMe controllers can throttle when hot. Buyers should check whether their motherboard already supplies an M.2 heatsink before purchasing Sabrent's heatsink version.
