Sabrent today released a firmware update for its Rocket 4 Plus M.2 NVMe SSD. The new version 1.2 firmware addresses several caching and performance issues with initial batches of the drive that shipped with the version 1.1 firmware. The latest batches should come with version 1.2 firmware pre-installed. The update is released as a click-to-run drive firmware updater that works from Windows. The company recommends those with version 1.1 firmware to update their drives. Usual precautions, such as a data backup, as well as power backup during the firmware update, are recommended.

I'm running version 1.1 and it says firmware is up to date. I guess its coming soon.

Edit: wait hold up so I guess their control panel thing isnt being using for firmware. Just saw the manual download link

Trim was run before each test. Sorry didn't have time to do latency testing.

Did you run anymore test or benchmarks?

How does this SSD stack against the WD and Samsung drives now?
