SABRENT 1TB Rocket 4 Plus-G Internal SSD
IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE NOTICE
When installing any PCle Gen 4 NVMe SSD directly onto a PCle GEN 4
motherboard, A HEATSINK IS REQUIRED TD DISSIPATE THE HEAT GENERATED BY THE
DRIVE’S EXTREME SPEED LEVELS TD AVOID THERMAL THROTTLING AND TD MAXIMIZE THE
PERFORMANCE. Many PCle GEN 4 motherboards are sold with a built-in heatsink,
so you’re good to go without an aftermarket heatsink. Just follow the
manufacturer’s user manual for the installation instructions. If your
motherboard does not have a built-in heatsink, we recommend using the Sabrent
Rocket Heatsink for optimal performance.
PCle Gen4 NVMe SSDs generate excessive heat. To help dissipate the heat
Sabrent has developed a state-of-the-art heatsink using the winning
combination ot copper and aluminum. The copper is used to absorb the heat from
the drive, spreading tt up to the grooved aluminum, giving the heat more air
surface to cool off, therefore avoiding them1al throttling and maximizing the
performance ot your drive.
