Disappointed... lac of and misleading information on the question-answer section of this product
From the beginning I was questioning the difference between the Black variant of Sabrent Rocket with the white one. Because of this I went to the questions made by customers on Amazon and found that there were some people asking the same thing. The official answer of SABRENT was that they both were mainly the same, BUT the White one had just a little slower writing speeds, for which I did not care at all because I was going to use it with a USB 3.2 enclosure which does work with those speeds. So I chose to buy this product because it was cheaper than the Black Sabrent Rocket. I assumed there was no other BIG difference between them both as Sabrent's official answer was clear... I'm quoting Sabrent's answer to this question: " The main differences include the Rocket Q having a custom controller, based on 3D QLC NAND Flash, and speeds can reach up to 3200 MB/s (Read) and 2000 MB/s (Write) when using a PCIe 3.0x4 slot. SB-ROCKET-1TB is based on 3D TLC NAND Flash, and speeds can reach up to 3400 MB/s (Read) and 3000 MB/s (Write) when using a PCIe 3.0x4 slot. " Sabrent support. After buying this product and having it delivered at my hotel (I live outside the US) I ended up watching a video in youtube about QLC having a significant MUCH SLOWER speed than TLC and that's not all... The worst thing is this, QLC(WHITE SABRENT ROCKET) has a MUCH SHORTER lifespan than TLC(BLACK SABRENT ROCKET) and that's why I went to the internet again to see what was this all about, I ended up finding that White sabrent rocket had a life span of 260 TBW. and the Black one having a lifespan of **1,665 TBW**. yes you are reading right... MORE THAN 6 times the lifespan of the white one!!!! I think this lack of information on the published item on amazon is misleading because it's decision making one... for only $20 more I could've got a much faster and reliable SSD. Now I wont be able to return this because I live in South America and I would really appreciate a solution to this... I'm really disappointed with this purchase, rating it 1 star... Hope sabrent support could contact me any time soon.
