@janisporietis 2 года назад

Great video man! I've been using a SilverStone MS09 enclosure and a Samsung SSD 860 EVO M.2 500GB for three years now and it's been great especially, because I do a lot of photography and often being on the road, this is a blast to use. Your video made me wonder if I need to do an upgrade. However, you know what they say, if it ain't broken, don't fix it :)

@jlb74a Год назад

you literally just saved me. I picked up by accident a SATA drive thinking it was a regular SSD. so I picked up a Sabrent enclosure but still couldn't quite figure out how to use the drive. I followed your directions and BOOM a 1 TB drive for about 90 bucks US. THANK YOU!!!!!

I needed this video. Thanks. I just ordered one of these enclosures and I used your link. You helped me build my first PC a couple years ago with your video with the Ryzen 5 3600 and b450 gaming plus max (the 3600 was sold out so I went with the 2600 but I used the same motherboard). Anyway I needed this enclosure so I can swap out the slower Intel 660p 512GB that came with my HP Pavilion Aero 13 laptop (Ryzen 7 5800u version) and put in the XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB leftover from my first build since it's literally double the speed of the 660p.

@RealStuntPanda Год назад

I just bought 2 1TB WD Black SN850Xs with heatsink (on sale for $92 USD each if you buy two); one for each of my PCs. I've also just ordered two more 1TB drives (the cheaper SN770s without heatsink) as backup drives and two of the Sabrent enclosures. I also went with Sabrent because of the quality. I currently have a Sabrent USB-C dock for 3.5 and 2.5 SATA drives that works phenomenally I so figured I'd stick with a known good brand. Oh, and thank you for pronouncing "voila" correctly (2:53)! It's like nails on a chalkboard for me when people say "wala." Ironically it shouldn't bother me since I mispronunsciate words all the time.

@terryevans3825 2 года назад

Very, very good video. You explained it well. I purchased a WD 2000 1TB ssd and found the installation instructions very poor. I couldn't find a way of installing it on my laptop but thanks to you I have now. Is there any form of encryption on this ssd? TJ

@Dr.KaranSingh 2 года назад

@@theTechNotice last question I promise, as the prices of old gen 3 are the same right now as Gen 4. If I make this enclosure with a WD Black SN 850 will it still work with the BMPCC4K camera and as an external storage with USB 3.2 port. With the added advantage of me being able to plug it into a PCI Gen 4 slot and reap all the insane benefits. Thanks and love from India :)

You need to peel off the brown plastic film from the white heat pad. Otherwise the heat from the drive overheat the board chipset and damage it over time.

@jimmybrannan7303 Год назад

This was faster than my cheaper enclosure but it was so tiny my 2tb PNY drive shot up to 67 degrees C with a large transfer and I had to shut it down. It needs to be redesigned I think. Maybe the next model will be better thought out.

@sumdood2035 2 года назад

I have this setup using a similar SSK enclosure, and an OEM 256GB WD SN730 which had 3000+ Read / ~2220 Write in the PC I pulled it out of. Unfortunately all of my other devices max out at USB 3.1 Gen 1, which tops out at 500-600MB/sec. Still slightly faster (and cheaper) than the average SSD based external drive, but most people probably don't realize their speeds will be limited below USB 3.1 Gen 2, and only around 1000MB/sec even with Gen 2.

One more thing. I'd looked into WD SSDs a while ago and, from my understanding, the WD Blue NVMes don't have a DRAM cache. That seems to be the case with cheaper SSDs in general (though the Intel 660p does have DRAM but only 100TBW endurance rating). Has that ever been an issue?

@gmaxsfoodfitness3035 2 года назад

Still the option of 2TB or even 4, if you wanna pay a premium for any more than 2TB, is pretty solid. You also need to think about latency and slower speeds if it were possible to have multiple NVMes in one enclosure. I'd assume they would be a factor.
