The Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0 1TB SSD sold for $260 as recently as July. This drive combines Phison's PS5016-E16 SSD controller with Toshiba's BiCS4 96-layer TLC (triple-level cell) NAND to deliver sequential read and write speeds up to 5,000 MB/s and 4,400 MB/s, respectively. For more info, check out our results from testing the Phison PS5016-E16 NVMe controller. Unfortunately, Sabrent doesn't list random read or write or endurance. You have to request warranty info from the vendor directly.
