That's definitely how most slider USB drives work. The only way it makes sense LOL

@tinglydingle 6 лет назад

A ribbon cable from the board to the USB tip would work as well. I imagine that it'd be prone to fatigue though.

@ahandlethatisnottaken 6 лет назад

The most comfortable position for the slider is in the middle. So that would just make it unnecessarily thick, because apart from the PCB, you would also need a pretty sturdy connector between the slider and the USB plug.

@ahandlethatisnottaken 6 лет назад

Luqman Headley what do you mean? This is the only way as far as I'm concerned, and technically it's the case that slides.

@17931793248650 6 лет назад

If the board was permanently in place then the board would have to be wired to the female USB port to achieve the same slide and bending wires repeatedly results in breaking the wires. So in the end, moving the entire PCB with the USB port was the most sensible thing to do.

@jamesdietrich7378 6 лет назад

Daniel Came here to say this, I don’t know why he was so surprised by that.

@HappyBeezerStudios 6 лет назад

That's actually how alot of thumbdrives do it. Sliding everyhing out gives less points of faliure than using a ribbon cable that has to be soldered on both ends and is flexed every time the stick is moved.

I've never seen any other kind of sliding usb drive mechanism. It's weird he thinks it's strange.

@HappyBeezerStudios 6 лет назад

Had lite 3 thumb drives (one still active), 2 music players and a wireless stich with that mechanic, although it has become less common over the years it seems. It has one big benefit: no cap that can get lost. But I would like to see a shorter variant.

@CybershamanX 6 лет назад

+Daniel Thank you for pointing that out. I was going to say the same thing, so I'm glad I looked through the comments first!

Yes there is an adapter like that albeit more pricey and inherently limited to 10gbit/s and thunderbolt is way to expensive. My recommendation would be a normal sata adapter which can be had for 10$ and a ssd from the used market( even new ssds can be had for cheap if they are 250gb because people upgrade them outright. So you can make a drive like this for 40-50$ nowaydays with most of the perfomance.

@benjaminmiddaugh2729 6 лет назад

Having the entire PCB slide to eject the USB connector has the advantage that you have simplicity and strength. You can lay the circuit out in any way you find convenient (e.g., without worrying about having to bypass a sliding piece in the middle of everything) and you don't have to engineer a connector connection that has to survive repeated sliding. Also, the point of failure is at the edge of the PCB and the enclosure, meaning the slide-out connector is much less likely to break. (Downward pressure on the slider is spread across the entire PCB instead of placed on a narrow strip of PCB or PCB-like material which needs support in some way.) In a mass-produced item like this I would consider this an elegant engineering solution. (I know Linus likes fancy stuff, but sometimes the fancy stuff gives you more problems for no practical benefit.)

@Davlenar 6 лет назад

Exactly. The PCB is going to be much stronger then a solderde on connector

@KenjiUmino 6 лет назад

Hello from 2019! Suggestion for future video: Given Samsung claims 3.5GB/s read speeds and 2.7GB/s write speeds on their 970 Evo pro, and Thunderbolt 3 claims 5GB/s transfer speeds, an m.2 nvme thunderbolt 3 enclosure would be theoretically unbounded. Thunderbolt 3 also has PCIe passthrough, meaning it essentially hands over the PCIe gen3x4 lanes to the connected device; so conceivably the connected SSD would be just as fast as if it was directly plugged-in to an m.2 port. My suggestion is revisiting this video’s idea, to test whether an m.2 NVMe Thunderbolt 3 external SSD enclosure really is “the perfect storage device”. Edit: A suggestion, not a question.

Great timing Linus. I literally did this project 2 days ago. Used a 256 GB sandisk out of my carbon X1 that I had upgraded to 1TB, and a wavlink enclosure. I figured the innie connection would be a little more durable and let you move the enclosure where it doesn't limit the maneuverability of a laptop I plug it into. The particular enclosure you picked, the reviews seems to have trouble with UASP and windows 10, which may explain the lower write speeds vs. the T5.

Yes, they all work that way on the sliding port. The case is the one part that doesn't have any conductors. However, most use a more secure method of attaching the board than just lying it in there. Really good ones will actually have an inner and outer case, or at least rails between the PCB and the case.

@themattenthehat 6 лет назад

Another potential advantage of the DIY solution: flash drives are not typically designed for very high endurance, generally significantly less than proper SSDs. At the very least, a real SSD will publish it's endurance spec, which flash drives typically dont. So, if you actually intend to re-write the drive frequently, the SSD would probably last quite a bit longer than the flash drive.

I use a similar solution, M.2 to USB-C/USB-3 with 1TB WD Blue for a fast(ish) expansion for my Xbox One X

Can u provide a link thr the SSD and the enclosure?

@EnricoGerominProd 5 лет назад

The world really need a good M.2/nvme enclosure comparison. Especially now with the new silverstone MS11. A rugged one special edition will be nice to!

I think that moving the whole pcb is better than have a ribbon cable on the USB connector... the suspect that a sliding mechanism will last alot longer than extending a ribbon cable back and forth.

@Gorphee 6 лет назад

Matt F I'm not positive, but I think most USB thumb drives that slide, all move the PCB

With this beast you can have literally ALL OS ISOs on one USB stick with a multi boot uefi partition. Including Windows 7 and Vista. Unbelievable. A PC doctor heaven.

You have missed a test scenario: USB 3.0 capable external hard drive enclosures with a 2.5 inch SSD installed in it.

@adueppen 5 лет назад

Extremely late reply but it would probably be around the same considering that the M.2 SSD is also using SATA, any major differences would probably come down to the drive controller

Could you make a portable bus powered USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 Dual Drive (Either 2.5 inch drives or 3.5 inch drives) Raid Array Please

@mothereric8774 6 лет назад

I want this for reliable portable storage (ie raid redundancy) for photography/videography work.

@iwontliveinfear 6 лет назад

I have a set of USB 3.0 type A to SATA connectors that I use to power an array of hard drives salvaged from laptops.

@mothereric8774 6 лет назад

What speeds are you getting?

@kquinn2983 6 лет назад

I absolutely love the performance of my T5. Until nvme usb-c thun(...) externals become commonplace, this will definitely be my workhorse. It's also worth noting that it has hardware encryption, which makes it an ideal place to store my local repos. The only negative I can even think of is the color up-sell tactic; you can't get the standard samsung black colored unit in any size smaller than 1Tb. Anything smaller and you're stuck with the strange off-green-blue color.
