I have a 2020 Intel iMac, and from the OWC website, it appears this does not support Thunderbolt 3. If you plug it into a computer with Thunderbolt 3, it drops down to 10 Gbps. I bought an OWC Envoy Pro SX, and I get 2800MB/s through Tunderbolt 3. Something that people with slightly older computers should keep in mind.

@tomchr9 3 месяца назад

Thanks for testing testing this enclosure. Can you give an estimate of the capable speeds using a thunderbolt 3 port?

@idealynx 3 месяца назад

Great video. Thank you for posting it. It's been a few months. Are you still happy with the 1M2 and the Samsung 990 PTO SSD? How hot does the enclosure get?

@iftibashir 3 месяца назад

It gets warm - not hot. I use it as my main editing drive with Final Cut regularly - no issues at all!

@EAGauss 2 месяца назад

Can you use Samsung Magician software on your Mac to update the SSD's firmware with this enclosure?

@noisetin 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the video. Have you tried it with any other then 990 Pro drives? Maybe some double sided ones? Is there a TB4 cable in the box and is it heavy?

@iftibashir 3 месяца назад

Its larger than other NVMe enclosures but not overly heavy - easily very portable. It comes with the cable in the box (albeit a short one as shown in the video). I have a second unit that came pre-populated with an 8TB OWC drive - works equally as well as the Samsung 990. Your bottleneck with external enclosures like this is generally the interface rather than the actual drive......

@Rushil69420 6 месяцев назад

Have you tried the Zike drive enclosure? People are getting ~3800 MBps read and ~3300 write speeds with it. Although I believe it's the same controller, so I'm honestly not sure where the bottleneck on these is.

@tharrington3 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing your experience with this enclosure. Do you have any thoughts regarding your 0GB enclosure vs. the other options (ie. 1, 2, 4 or 8TB)? Provided you went with a Samsung NVMe, was there a minimum drive speed you considered to achieve the same performance shown in the video for this enclosure?

@iftibashir 6 месяцев назад

Considering the interface is the real bottleneck with any external enclosure, as long as you use a fast NVMe speeds should be similar - the main difference will be keeping an eye on thermals and seeing which thermal throttles sooner, if ever. I do have an pre-populated unit on the way, which I believe come with OWC's own Aura IV drives, so will test and report back if drastically different to the 990 in this video ;o)

@noisetin 3 месяца назад

@@iftibashir Have you received your OWC version with Aura IV drives? How would you compare to 990 Pro speed and heat wise?

@pureevoix Месяц назад

Get the ZIKE DRIVE instead, buy a 2Tb or 4TB M.2 Drive 980/990 pro. Format to APFS, you get 3300mb+ speed writes.

@iftibashir Месяц назад

Not all about speed - it's about sustaining the speed through adequate cooling too.

@geodude4real 18 дней назад

@@iftibashir agreed. but i'm curious, do you think I will ever be transferring enough data to hit a heat level that would then cause it to throttle? Like how much data would this be? Or is it possible that this throttling is really a hypothetical that may be unrealistic in the real world?

@Pacowaka4045 4 месяца назад

Didn't realize that was the heatsink and not a bunch of slots to put your ssd's XD

@jaymeez 6 месяцев назад

How much is the 8TB version? Is it fast enough to run Final Cut Pro off of it?

@iftibashir 6 месяцев назад

Easily enough for FCPX depending upon your interface.

@onlyvik 6 месяцев назад

The acasis 405 pro m1 active cooled enclosure is a much better option. Connecting the owc to thunderbolt 3 ports have very slow speeds. I will return mine.

@iftibashir 6 месяцев назад

I prefer passive cooling as I like a quiet environment. As you can see in the testing, it work’s beautifully for me - I’ve actually ordered another!

@onlyvik 6 месяцев назад

@@iftibashir you dont hear the fan at all.

@idealynx 3 месяца назад

When you say "slow" what computer are you using and what transfer speeds were you getting?

@davissonnguyen 5 месяцев назад

Would this fit the Firecude 530 with a heatsink ?

@iftibashir 5 месяцев назад

Only SSDs with no prior heatsink.

@@iftibashir Ordered now and waiting for delivery. I'm new to this type of drive, can you tell me exactly what type of ssd I need to look out for, ie: spec's, terminology. Also where I can learn a bit more about these ssd' as it's a bit of a minefield. I've noticed the prices vary wildly. Pax. Steven.
