Introduction

Sabrent is an American hardware manufacturer that was founded in 1998. Their product range includes SSDs, external drive enclosures, cables, chargers, card readers, USB hubs, and similar peripherals. Over the last few years, they’ve made a name for themselves in the SSD market by offering highly cost effective solid-state drives with good performance.

Today, we’re reviewing the Sabrent Rocket Nano v2 in the 2 TB variant. The Nano v2 is a highly compact portable SSD that utilizes the blazing fast USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 20 Gbps interface, which doubles the bandwidth over USB 3.2 Gen 2×1, aka USB 3.1 Gen 2. Many portable SSDs using USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 were bottlenecked by the USB interface speed, so it makes sense to increase the interface transfer rate by another notch. We previously reviewed several other 20 Gbps portable drives, and many of them were using a combination of a classic SSD controller plus a bridge chip that translates the USB protocol into whatever interface the controller speaks. Obviously, requiring two components increases complexity, size, and cost, and nowadays, supply chain logistics can be an issue too. The Sabrent Rocket Nano v2 portable SSD uses the Phison PS2251-18 controller, combining the company’s SSD controller IP with an integrated USB interface, making it much simpler to build high-performance portable storage devices.

A while ago, finding a motherboard with USB 3.2 2×2 20 Gbps support has been difficult, but many recent motherboards for Intel LGA1700 and AMD Socket AM5 include the 20 Gbps USB support.

This review covers the 2 TB version of the Sabrent Rocket Nano v2, there’s also a 1 TB and 4 TB version available.
