PS5 SSD Expansion Testing with the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD
Whether you are looking at upgrading the SSD on your PS5 because you are running out of space or because you heard that some SSDs can increase load times for your favourite games, it is always going to be sensible to spend a few minutes researching before pulling the trigger and spending hundreds on the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus to avoid finding out that the benefits are negligible or, worse still, actually slow your games down! Equally, you should always factor in that the PS5 is a relatively new console and games developers are still in the early stages of maximizing how much they can do with the CPU, Memory, GPU and (of course) super-fast NVMe M.2 SSD. Therefore the commitment you make on buying an SSD upgrade to your PS5 needs to also factor in that it will still perform well in the years to come. The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus meets a number of the key specifications of the PS5 storage bay, but then again many, MANY SSDs do. So today I want to put this SSD through it’s paces with many games to see how well it compares against the internal PS5 SSD doing the same thing. NOTE – FULL Videos of the testing of the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus that combined cover more than an hour can be found at the bottom of the article. This article primarily covers the load times of games and saves on the PS5 using the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD and how they compare with the internal PS5 loading the same game. If you want to watch the full videos that cover PS5 Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus use that feature frame rates, texture swapping, asset management and more, I recommend you watch those videos at the end of this article.
Here is the PS5 internal Benchmark for the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD at the initialization of the system:
What Are the Specifications of the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD?
Before we go through the load time testing of the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus on the PS5, it is worth taking a look at the hardware specifications. Unlike traditional Hard Drives and SSDs that were using the PS3 and PS4 that used SATA connectivity, this new generation of SSD storage using M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 architecture. This is a very, VERY big difference physically, in terms of maximum performance and opens up ALOT of specifications that you should keep an eye on. Aside from the capacity (i.e the amount of data the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus can hold in gigabytes and terabytes) the key ones to factor in when buying an SSD are the following:
- Controller & NAND – These are the brain of the SSD (handling the transfer of data as quickly and efficiently as possible) and the physical cells on the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD that hold the data. As long as you are using 3D TLC NAND (the industry preferred middle ground for price vs performance), you should be ok. Though the better the quality of NAND, generally the better the performance and durability long term.
- Sequential Read – This is the reported maximum access speed that the data on the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD can be access when accessing large blocks of data
- Sequential Write – This is the reported maximum speed that data can be written to the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD. As far as the PS5 architecture goes, this is much less important right now but could become important later in the system’s life as games, services and the level to which the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus can be accessed changes.
- IOPS – These represent the number of individual operations the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD can handle per second, based on the smallest size possible. Again, not strictly relevant in the PS5 right now because of the way data is largely front-loaded on modern games, but may well impact how larger and evolved worlds and multiplayer games are developed in future
- TBW, MTBF & DWPD – Terabytes Written and Drive Writes Per Day, these indicate how much the drive is designed to withstand in activity over a 5 year or daily basis (respectively), Before the drive begins to deteriorate in performance or eventually fail. The PS5 will hardly be able to hit these kind of numbers daily BUT these figures will give you a good idea of the lifespan of the SSD beyond 5 years. Given the lifespan of some consoles can cross over a decade, the higher these numbers are, the better!
Here are the official specifications of the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD:

Testing the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD with the PS5 – Test Parameters
All of the tests of the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD on the PS5 were conducted in groups of 5 games at a time. In the event of a game arriving on a disc, the full disc data and all current updates were transferred over the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD. The disc might be present, but it is only for system verification and would be an identical setup to the PS5 internal SSD that it is being compared against. The SSD was tested using the latest PS5 Beta Firmware update (3.0 or 3.1 depending on the time of testing as a further update was made available during the widespread testing) and although the supported drives when the SSD expansion feature might change, the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus SSD is fully functioning and supported on the PS5 at the time of writing.

I never bought more room for my PlayStation before and been thinking of getting one for my ps5 because I’m tired of having no room and my friends have like 2 TB and I’m here with 800GB so I couldn’t download the games they had without having to delete a game and idk what to buy I just know the ps5 can go up to 4TB
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Good to know my PC is more than equipped to handle these “next gen” games. Thanks!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I just installed the 2tb rocket 4 plus and only had a read speed of 4650. So disappointed as I removed and reinstalled it formatting over and over and could only get to 5000mbps which is significantly below what their advertising and what I have seen others ssds get
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
My ps5 says my rocket 4 read speed is only 4585mb/s
Is that good? I thought these were averaging 6500+
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
i bought the same 2tb,but mine speed test only 5800,anyone know why?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
How did you get 6500 mb??? I got the 4tb & only got 6387mb is their a way to make it higher??? & I’ve formatted 5+ times & never got higher then 6387mb
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Mine had 5k speed. I wonder why
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
This the 1tb or 2tb??
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Mine is reading at 5.5. Is there something wrong?

Dude if you want to make youtube content invest in a better capture card. Would be a lot better production.

My read speeds are about 4500mbps, something is wrong.

Just installed this one with 1TB and the speed I got was 5500. Is that normal?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Just installed the Sabrent ssd today . My speeds were only up to 5590 MB/s weird but nonetheless it was worth it for me 🙂
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Just got my Sabrent sad and heatsink for Christmas and I couldn’t be happier!!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I have the 1 tb the original format read spead was 5420 something which is lower than ps5 recommends so I tried to reformat it and it was 5795.688 is there a reason it’s so low maybe because I have it on a 75 inch lg tv??
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Alright I’m sold. Thanks for the information! Subbed!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Hmm using this in a ps5 digital and only getting a read speed of 3861 1TB
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Any reason my sabrent is only running 5200 speed while every one else’s is reading 6500+? Really sad as I just installed today.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Is there a 8Tb ssd coz I’m wanting to buy 1
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I got the same ssd and wen i do the test i get 5500
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Hello can you do a test between The Seagate 530 with heatsink and the Seagate 530 with the rocket heatsink for the Ps5
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I ordered the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus. When I installed it, I saw a blue rubber thing inside the heatsink. Am I supposed to take that out before installing?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I got the 2tb today 🙂 can’t wait to install it when I get home from work
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Just bought one yesterday.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
This a good video however, your test reflects the 500gb. If you test at least the 2 tb we will be able to see this ssd’s true performance. For example I’m currently using the 2tb of the sabrent rocket 4 plus on my PS5 and I get read speeds of 6658. ( the highest of seen on any ssd to date.) Please test the 2tb of the firecuda 530 for the ps5. Test games like red dead redemption 2, gta 5, cyberpunk ect…games with the longest load times.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
could you test the Sabrent SSD interne Rocket Q4 NVMe PCIe 4.0 ? it’s less expensive for a bit less of speed , but it’s maybe could be invisible less loading time , Wait for your test
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
XPG GAMMIX S70 PCIe Gen4x4 M.2 2280 SSD 2TB is this ps5 compatible ??
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Can you test out the Crucial P5 Plus.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I would advice to use one of the available SSDs in place of the PS5 internal storage to run all games, to prolong the life of the PS5’s internal storage since it’s not user exchangeable!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Is the channel PS5 Compares Now,i need my NAS fix.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
As always, good video..
Question : does the sabrent rocket heatsink (the big one!) Fit in the ps5?
I don’t care about the cover of the m2 slot
Thanks in advance
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Hi my friend, Will you test the Crucial P5 Plus, a cheaper one, on PS5?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
All these SSD’s seem to be worth getting really unless a millisecond or so is going to spoil your gaming session 😀
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
DF did a test for Rift Apart, and confirms what you’re seeing. A faster M2 will be a slight advantage over the PS5’s internal SSD. The result, is a slightly smoother transition when the portals open. The PS5’s internal dipped to 58 fps, while the M2 (980 PRO) stayed a steady 60fps. So even if load times for games are going to be indiscernible, the smoother transitions during real loads is a nice touch for faster M2 drives.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I don’t know of anyone tested. Are these drives swappable? Meaning does the PS5 reformat the drive every time it’s put back in?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Would be interesting how the underspec drives compare in games like R&C to the internal and recommended drives
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
sure wish Sony would release the new update. Picked up Inland Performance Plus and was hoping to get the beta version, but still not got email notification.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
My only question is, when is Sony gonna update the software for everyone to utilize the ssd slot. I have my Sabrent ready to install. Need this update already.

I ordered a sabrent 500g mvme drive. cost me 123$ included a heatsink free shipping on prime.

Guess these PS5 SSD videos create a lot of views for you eh?
Since you made 2000 of them… ????

Great video I’m on the black ssd for now when it for everybody after the test is done

The Amazon listing states this is 3500mb/s read speed, so how did you get 6500mb/s on the PS5 mate?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Did you use a Sabrent Heatsink for the SSD?

can i use the Sabrent 1TB Rocket 4 Plus with the Sabrent M.2 2280 SSD Rocket Heatsink (SB-HTSK)
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I’m hearing there’s a cache issue with this drive once it starts to fill up is this true
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
long story short: yes, Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus Drive (PCIe 4.0) is faster than the internal SSD. Question is, will the Sabrent Rocket Q be faster? Then we can have an 8TB NVMe. Or if PCIe 3.0 compared to PS4’s internal SSD…. hmm…
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Sabrent rocket and black wd and samsung 980 and firecuda which is better bro?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Is that heatsink works with ps5
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Did you install it with the Sabrent Heat sink? Does it fit with the giant Sabrent Heat sink?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Warning Warning Warning Warning !!! If you do not have the 2.0 firmware on your PS5 do not waste your time putting an SSD in it because when you power it on it will tell you
to power down and remove the SSD from the internal Bay.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Great video now all we need is a great Heatsink
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
correct me if im wrong but the ps4 games with ps5 updates seem to load faster over ps5s ssd except with destruction allstars .. be interesting to see what the difference is with more actual ps5 titles e.g returnal rachet and clank etc..
iam waiting for the firecuda 530 review and i think i might bite the bullet and go the rocket 4 heat sink with the firecuda 530 2tb that ive already brought!

Will the 1tb version of the rocket plus work on ps5?

The speed difference seems more noticeable for multiplayer online games like destiny then for others, if you can test the load times with more online games like fallout 76 or call of duty that would be nice too. Aside from that great video! Love your channel man ????????

Just so you guys know the last gen Sabrent rocket 4 nvme 2tb is working perfectly for me at 5600 read speed tested in the ps5 speed test . Well over the 5000mb it’s rated for. I played demon souls all night as well as legion and Valhalla . All load times are equal to internal sad load speed. Demon souls loads in an instant and it work’s flawlessly

Honestly i didn’t see so much differences just like 1-2 sec faster

Taping buttons? Really? In a test? Let the games run their course and compare becsuse one millisecond of Taping early on either one screw up the results
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
You should really be testing Ratchet and Clank and Returnal and Miles Morales… games made with next-gen in mind that actually utilize the drives speedload in new ways
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
When you get the firecuda can you also test that and do a 4 screen split comparison with the other drives?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus drive actually does seem to be noticeably faster than the internal soldered SSD! Sweet!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I’m starting to think that SSDs like WD-SN850, Samsung Pro and this one will be good enough for PS5 at this point until the devs start to make their games that will be use these speeds and command my power.
It’s still early in the gen and a good portion of these are cross gen. Probably in the next two years will see this.

now if i only had a grand to drop on a ssd

do you recommend any heatsink in your description for the Sabrent?

Any chance you could test the Aorus 7000s?

Please test ratchet & clank rift apart. I believe this game was made to utilize the PS5s internal SSD speed.

I heard wd makes the most reliable ssd of them all and second only to firecuda 530 in speed. It comes with its own heatsink for 249 for 1TB. Just installed it today in my ps5. Works very good actually some games like devil may cry ps5 version look better run better with the wd ssd. I saw the free ps plus game control looked better on the wd too.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I believe the m.2 NVMe ssd gen 4 market is as much as the ps5 market
U can’t find them anywhere XD
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Which heat sink do you recommend for best performance with this drive?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Well, I don’t know why they call PS5 SSD a “Magical SSD” while it has almost the same performence as my Samsung 980 PRO SSD that I’ve bought 1 month before the PS5 came out.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Would be great if you could test R&C,i think its the most taxing game so far on the SSD.

Doesnt the beta invitation mail say that you arent allowed to share beta content on social media?

Woohoo First!! I ordered a FireCuda 530 4TB! Looking forward to early September when it ships! great hype video! I was seriously looking at this Sabrent Rocket Plus 4TB for months… but the issue of having to install a heatsink pushed me towards the FireCuda 530!
