Mad Shrimps: Sabrent Rocket Q4 NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 2TB SSD Review

The Sabrent Rocket Q4 2TB drive performs well for a QLC drive, a type of NAND flash mainly user with entry-level and mainstream SSD offerings. The Phison PS5016-E16 controller is making a great pair with Micron’s 96-layer QLC, resulting in it trading punches with the previous mainstream PCIe 4.0.

APH Networks: SilverStone RVS03 Review

Whenever I see a lot of good food on the table during the Christmas season, my memory would always go back to my childhood time when my grandma used to cook our New Year’s Eve dinner. When everybody was around the table, my grandma would introduce all the dishes to the kids. One of her commonly used prologues was, “When your dad was young and poor, we could have very little beef in the beef stew, even for the New Year’s Eve dinner, but now it is very different!” At that time, I thought my grandma just wanted to point out how lucky we were to be able to have more beef than potato in the beef stew. As time went by and I am getting a bit older, I think my grandma meant something else. Maybe she just wanted us to enjoy the meal more by having us imagine a time when beef was considered a luxury for a working-class family’s meal. I have to admit we are spoiled by the things we can afford now compared to twenty years ago. This is true especially for computer storage devices. My first flash drive only had 64MB of storage capacity, and it costed me about $50 USD in 2002. Think about what you can get with $50 USD now for a storage device. You can now buy a fast 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD for about $50 USD, and if you can spend another $50 USD, you can get an SSD enclosure to build an external storage device by yourself. For today’s review unit, the SilverStone RVS03, it is a NVMe/SATA M.2 SSD enclosure that supports the 10Gbps SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface. Is it a good choice for building a 500GB external storage device with a budget of around $100? Let us read on and find out!
