Has anyone put this Sabrent in a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot and benchmarked? Does it just limit it to the max supported bandwidth or are there other factors that would reduce the performance of say random reads that were not even near the limit?

that's probably your issue, formatting SSDs isn't helpful, you do a SecureErase

Quote from EHokie :
For anyone considering this for PS5, I bought one from Amazon and returned because it wouldn't register above about 3600MB/s even after formatting about a dozen times.

Yes it does, I put one in a friend's system to upgrade but mobo is pcie3 hoping to upgrade within 5 years but may upgrade to next iteration of pcie by then. BTW, Temps were +4 deg C because no mobo plate cooling just a less effective heatsink as part of mobo equip

the point was the SecureErase is less overhead and better at restoring performance before the PS5 format, letting the PS5 format again and again doesn't accomplish the same and probably reduces performance for a while

It would be unreasonable to expect that if anyone were going to purchase this for a PS5 (which is the only use case I was speaking to), they would run a PC program to prepare it.

It isn't marketed as being PS5 compatible, but it's marketed speed is close enough to Sony's recommendation that some will give it a go. My only intent was to offer my anecdotal experience.

I bought the 1TB when it was first on Slickdeals front page in August 2020 for $170. The 4925-5000mb/sec read speeds have been very consistent.

Edit: on X570 Asus Tuf Gaming-Pro w/ 3900x

i had one of these and returned it... I could never even come close to getting the advertised speeds. Stick with known performers like Samsung and WD

For anyone in the same position as I am (that purchased the 2TB Sabrent Q4 4.0 drive posted last week for $187: https://slickdeals.net/f/15571441-sabrent-rocket-q4-qlc-nvme-pcie-gen4-m-2-2280-ssd-2tb-187-1tb-93-50-more-free-s-h), below are the differences. The use of QLC made me a bit nervous, and the 400 TBW rating also made me a TINY bit nervous (this drive would be for portable non critical secondary use in my case), but I am still considering returning the Q4 for this drive to spend $33 more to get TLC and 3600TBW.

This SSD:

Max Sequential Read Up to 5000 MBps
Max Sequential Write Up to 4400 MBps
4KB Random Read Up to 750,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write Up to 750,000 IOPS
Terabytes Written (TBW) 3600TB
MTBF 1,700,000 hours

The Q4:

Max Sequential Read Up to 4800 MBps
Max Sequential Write Up to 3600 MBps
4KB Random Read Up to 350,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write Up to 700,000 IOPS
Terabytes Written (TBW) 400TB
MTBF 1,800,000 hours

You didn't mention the intel CPU you have. So if you have the 11th Gen, it supports Gen4 pcie , so it should theoretically support the 5000mb/sec reads.

In a nutshell: it should never bottleneck on you. Just make sure you have a slim heat sink for the drive itself, if the laptop doesn't blow heat sink cooling air over the area where you will install the NVMe.

Thanks and yes 11th Gen. Is this worth getting over 970 evo pro?

This is a great deal. I bought the 1 GB back in November of 2019 for $150. It's been rock solid.
Wow...that's seems terribly expensive for that little storage. I would have sprang for at least 2GB.

Ran into this problem with Corsair MP600 Core, couldn't get it above 3800MB/s read even though its advertised as 4700MB/s and youtubers claim 5000MB/s+. Gonna do the S70 blade when my refund comes back.
