I’m struggling to understand how is that enclosure expandable. Logically, an expandable enclosure should accommodate more than 1 ssd, and have a maximum capacity of let’s say 8TB. If the enclosure would have 4 SSD slots that can each take one 2TB M2, yeah, we could call it expandable. But if I have to throw away the current SSD in order to expand, that’s not expandable, it’s just a case.

@CodyTheBeerBear_ 6 месяцев назад

He means u can take it out and slot in another ssd with bigger memory

@rdy4ever 6 месяцев назад

@@CodyTheBeerBear_ I know what he means, but his definition of expandable is not correct. When you expand, you are able to keep the current capacity and add some more.

@@slob5041 No, that's known as installing. You didn't build the SSD, or the enclosure. All you did was plug it in, and put the screws back in the cover.

Even if you buy all the parts and put a tower together, it's still just assembly. 😆 Now, if you went into a machine shop, and physically built that enclosure, soldered a PC board together, with a all the necessary components, and installed that inside of it, then you could say you actually built it.

Hello Jerad, I'm totally vibing with the whole upgrade game! Whether it's my laptop, desktop, or SSD, I'm all about swapping parts when the time's right. The bonus is that I am always able to sell my old components at a discount which is a win win. Prebuilt SSDs are like Macs, top-notch but when you want to upgrade any component, you have to drop cash on a whole new machine. Loving the content, keep it coming!

My question is, you used a Hynix 2TB NVME for $150.00 plus, and Asus Tuf Gaming Enclosure $49.00 Plus with a 10Gpbs, So why not get a SSD that Reads & Writes at the speed of the Enclosure and Save money on SSD? like LEVEN JP600 4TB PCIe NVMe Gen3x4 PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD, with reads speed 3000MG/sand write speed 2000GB/s, cost -19% $144.99, this give's you a extra 2TB of Storage and couple of buck saving That is my thought, just a retired person living of of fixed income. Thank You for Info.

@rageUK78 10 месяцев назад

my thoughts exactly, makes zero sense paying for faster ram that cant be used, I mean alot of pcs/laptops can only send at around 1000 in any case.....and okay lets say we can use it as internal ram for a laptop or mini pc, well it will need formatting later anyway. Thanks for the tip, I'm trying to work out what 2-4tb drive to get with this exact model. Ideally there would be a decent 20gpbs offering, there are good 40gpbs but they cost nearly as much as the ssd! The 20gbps ones out there are garbage also and need faffing with wiring

I watched your video. Then went to build a SSD on my own. First previously I used a Samsung T5 4TB external SSD (USB Connection). I had it connected to my Sony smart TV. The Samsung T5 SSD has movies on it. Anyway, I used Diskmgmt in Windows 11 to see how the Samsung T5 was setup. It was a GUID / GPT Partition and formatted to ExFat. So I purchased a M.2 NVME 4TB SSD and a USB enclosure. I partitioned the NVME as GUID / GPT and formatted as ExFat. Installed the NVME into the USB enclosure and copied a few movies to it. I connected the hand built external SSD via USB cable to my Sony TV. And the TV does not see the external SSD. Any ideas?

I would not bother buying an external drive when there is this option unless of course the external drive is a LOT cheaper. My build was cheap, I paid £10 for the enclosure ( aliexpress ) and £55 for a 1tb seagate 530 drive so £65, I know I could buy a 1tb cheaper but it would not be as useful especially if I needed to replace my laptop nvme ( could just use this drive in it )

This is why USB 3.2 2×1 (1250 MB per second) or 2×2 (2500 MB per second) is still the better choice. It's widely adapted and supported. What people don't understand is that if you want to have a small drive, then heat is a problem. If you take a good look at the USB4 enclosures, you will realize that they are actually bulky. As of our current technology, USB 4 is not a suitable option for small portable drives. For bet compatibility, USB 3.2 2×1 does a wonderful job. Though 3.2 2×2 would get a bit hot to the touch. I'm using a 990 pro 4TB in the Asus Tuff A1. I run WSL images with docker and k8s on it, and it performs just outstanding.

not all enclusres are the same, most have problems with drives over 2 TB and speed, also if you port is only USB 3.x you get only 1 GB transferspeed

Nice! Great information video. But, a bit unnecessary to put the skHynix platinum in an enclosure... you can put a great and cheaper one, which have compatibles speed... the Nv2 from kingston is about 50 dollars on Amazon and operates in 3500mb/s... the enclosure operates ins 1000mb/s... and the platinum skhynix is about 7000mb/s (and is more expensive) Besides, thank you for sharing this!

Yes, specifically this enclosure came with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10gbps), it can only reach max 10*125=1250 mb/s, way less than inserted into the board. But at temporarily needed, I'm planning to have something of stable quality to do the system cloning, this enclosure is way better than others

so you are not really building one then!? You are just putting two products that can go together, together... ? Video title a bit misleading

still I ll go with regular ssd like Sandisk... issues like heating pushing me back from such nvme drives and enclosers & mostly enclosers are restricted to max 4tb nvme... sandisk also gives speed between 1500-2000 mb/s..

@shreyasdharashivkar8027 10 месяцев назад

heating does not always have to signify that it is bad. the reason is that thermal pad is dissipating heat and helping SSD to prevent thermal throttle

I don't know if I would use a USB 3.2, you are creating a Huge Bottle Neck going into the Computer, almost defeats the Purpose of using an NVME Drive. If you are going to use a USB 3.2 might be better to use SSD. If you use a USB 4 it would be much better but still creating a Bottle neck, I think the Solution would be to Run a Ribbon cable from the NVME Port out the Case to the Drive. If you don't have an Extra Port I would use USB 4 instead.

Samsung T7 already made this video irreleant 2-3 years ago. Why? Samsung sells reliable SSD's for less money than the crap here. Samsung includes casing for less than the shit advertised in this video.
