2TB is the sweet spot for the Phison E26 controller

TweakTown has tested the 4TB Sabrent Rocket 5, but it’s the 2TB model that really impressed them. Having tested other Phison E26-based SSDs, they expected this model to outperform the 4TB model, and they were right. CrystalDiskMark produced sequential reads of 14,160 MB/s and writes at 12,769 MB/s, which is enough to put it at the top of the charts. Random reads and writes were slightly lower, and the Sabrent comes in second just behind the Crucial T705. This performance varies a bit depending on whether you’re using AMD or Intel, but not by much, and not always slower on AMD.

If you need blazing fast storage, the 2TB Rocket 5 managed broke several lab records and became the fastest SSD they’ve ever tested. The only downside is the price, $400 for 2TB is steep, but that’s the price you pay for the best. Find all benchmarks and details here.
