The HyperDrive USB4 NVMe Enclosure 

There are several portable 40gbps drive bays with fans now in the market. Hopefully you can review some of them

Hi! Thank you for the review! How hot does the case and SSD get after prolonged intensive use?

Nice review! UGreen just quietly released a new USB4 SSD enclosure too. I just got it and it seems well build and is getting similar speeds to the HyperDrive.

Hello and thank you for the vidéos ! Very helpfull. Just got zike with Samsung 990pro 4tb. Only getting 2700Mbs read and 3100 write on the latest sonoma version on my M3 max MacBook Pro. Direct plug No hub or anything. Don’t know what could be the reason I’m not getting those speed you get 🤷🏻‍♂️

In the slides, you use GBps when I think you mean Gbps. I was told that a capital B meant Bytes and a small b meant Bytes, Thanks for the Video. I just learned today that the Thunderbolt 4 interface is the limiting factor and buying a Gen 5 Disk at 14,400 Mbs is a waste of time as they will be throttled by the port.

What file system you were using on the disk? With some slower drives APFS made a difference, giving clearly better result comparing to ExFAT. The question is, does the file system matter with these extremely fast enclosures? Another question is, can I expect similar results on MacBook Air (M2)?

Which is the best and cheap ssd should I buy, considering speed throttling ,Samsung 990 pro would be an overkill right?

Look also for Jeyi TB2464 it has asmedia 2464 USB to NVME Chip far cheaper than you tested

Am confused a bit sir! What does an "enclosure" but enclose? You inserted a Samsung Drive from a previous enclosure into the "hyperdrive". How does an enclosure affect drive speed? Am I missing something, sir?

And there is a valentines sale right now

Why would you want to use a silicone cover on the drive to impede heat transfer to the environment.

What's your real world numbers? For example when transferring 100GB file to and from the enclosure drive.

What was the maximum amount of data you were able to get on it? It performs well in tests, but when you need to load 500GB of data on it, it just overheats and crashes! What kind of drive did you put in it?

What would be helpful is if you'd mention exactly which cip these are using. It's probably the new ASMedia 246xxxx chip. That would b the reason why they perform the same- they've got the same guts. And why they're faster than the Acasis enclosures, which use an older chip.

So I've got this exact setup after watching this video. I'm experiencing a weird issue though.. When I first plug in the external drive and run a speed test with Black Magic or Amorphous, I'm only getting about half of the speed I'd expect. But if I eject the drive, unplug it (that's important) then plug it back in and run the tests again, I get full speeds. This is a repeatable behavior. Just unmounting the disk and remounting it in the disk utility won't fix the read/write speeds upon further testing. It has to be physically unplugged and plugged in again. I'm not sure if this is a Mac issue or a hardware issue with the external drive enclosure. Any ideas?

Are they the same controller inside?

I used the Hyperdrive with the Acer G700 M.2 2tb SSD and got 5234 W and 5112 R this enclosure seems to be capped when used with Samsung or Sabrent

I had a jeyi and this hyperdrive is way more reliable, you get what you pay for

that thing is huge, why not allow 2 nvme to be installed
