If you have been waiting on a 2242 drive at a real discount. This is the moment.

What You're Getting

The SABRENT Rocket 2242 is built for systems that need the shorter M.2 2242 form factor, a slot size that fewer drives serve at PCIe 4.0 speeds. It hits sequential reads up to 7,300MB/s and writes up to 6,400MB/s with up to 950K IOPS, putting it in range of full-length NVMe drives. The Phison E27T controller paired with TLC NAND delivers strong endurance, while peak power consumption stays under 6W, making it a smart fit for battery-powered handhelds and compact builds that run warm.

Who This Is For

Best for owners of handheld gaming PCs like the ASUS ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go that use 2242 slots, as well as anyone building a mini PC or upgrading a laptop with a 2242 bay. If you need the storage now and want PCIe 4.0 performance in a short form factor. This is the drive to grab.

Skip it if you can use a standard 2280 drive, where more competition and lower prices exist.

Final Verdict

For $287.99. This is the best price we have seen on a 2TB PCIe 4.0 2242 drive by a meaningful margin. If your system takes this form factor, lock it in now.
