I don’t plan on using this for gaming. I want to use it for recording, saving and transferring guest speaker at church. Is that possible with this? Or is this set up only for gamers? Thank you.
It would be a great external hard drive for storage. Great for your need, It would be expensive but fast, maybe consider a normal HDD or SDD for storage as well.
The Samsung 980 Pros are just as fast too & I'm using the 2TB ones. I want to get the 4TB WD Black SN850X's ones next. I hope those get the same speeds your getting with your 2TB WD Black SN850X, the ones here in your video. Hopefully they too get as close to 3000 read/write speeds as possible.. Some people format these all wrong, they use a USB-C or USB-A cable too and don't use the included Thunderbolt 3/4 cable or connect the enclosure directly to the Thunderbolt port on the computer. They insist on using the USB cables & ports, over the Thunderbolt 3 or 4. And then they'll ask themselves "Why are they not as fast as advertised?". Your video here shows why perfectly!!!!. I doubt I'll ever get another Samsung T5 or T7 ever again. The NMVe SSD's are around the same price. 40gbs over 10gbs is a no brainer. There is this Acasis TB4 SSD enclosure here, "Generation 4" PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD's, TB3/4 cables & TB3/4 ports. Using these together, the R/W Speeds are just as fast as my 2020 27' iMac's internal HD. Close to 3000-R/W. It's half the speed of my 16" M1 Macbook Pro Max though (@7000-R/W). But this set up here in your video I still get close to 3000-R/W on my M1 Macbook. I'm happy. I came from a 2013 iMac with an i5, only 8gb ram, a failing mechanical internal HD and it only had TB2 & USB-A ports. 50-R/W was the max. Thank you for sharing. Great video & great content.
It'll work. It should. The Acasis Enclosure can work with up to an 8TB SSD. I plan on getting the same one you are planning on in getting, if you didn't get it already by now. If you do let me know how fast it gets up to. I would appreciate it.
@iforgot3942 Ive just bought the acasis enclosuer at a good price of Amazon. Still undecided on the nvme, regardless of how fast there are it's unlikely I'll get anything above 2000mbs on my mac.
@@frazerweb as long as you have Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 ports on your Mac you’ll get up to 3000 read & write speeds, setting everything up like in this here video. Only if you set it up like in this here video. If it’s a USB-C cable or a Thunderbolt3/4 cable connected to a “USB-C port”, it will only “only” perform up to 10gbs speeds (USB 3.2 or 3.1 Gen.) instead of getting the 40gbs (TB3/4). My Mac has Thunderbolt 3 ports & I’m getting Thunderbolt 4 speeds. ✌️
Ok I have this exact same combo this week and nothing but the same second results you get just under 1000 MB/s…I’ve been trying to find a solution before just returning the drive. I’m plugging my Acasis enclosure direct to the usb port on my MacBook.. and cannot get the speeds you have in your final test.. am I missing something here ?!?
Thanks for watching, make sure you have it plug to the Thunderbolt 4 ports on your mac. You wont get high speeds unless its plug to the thunderbolt 4 port. Thanks
Is it normal for it to heat up so much? I changed the thermal pad to no avail plus if I try to open the case the pad is detached from the nvme and attached to the lid. Thank you
Mine stay fairly cold even after 1tb of transfer (around 40C). I have an Acasis 401u with a Firecuda 530. I used two thermal pad from third party. One 1mm under the ssd and a 1.5mm over. The thermal pad given with those enclosure may or may not be adequate since the builder of the enclosure have no way to know what ssd you will put in there. Keep in mind also that the controller on those SSD are often shorter than the nand modules around making it possible that you will have contact (and imprints) on the thermal pad yet an overheating controller. You may need a thicker pad than you think and may even need to have different pad height covering the controller vs the nand modules. Placing a thermal pad under the ssd can help dump a bit of head into the board under it. Also make sure that your thermal pad actually touch the controlled and the case. Don't trust the manufacturer thermal pads blindly.
Ignore the negative comment. This video was helpful. And I found the little mistakes authentic 😂. I was like this drive is so slow then had the relief just like you in the end.

Did you use the 1mm thermal pad? Does it touch the housing when you close the lid?
I did use it and I don't know if it touched or not. Thanks for watching.

Where did you buy the enclosure and the ssd?
Amazon
Acasis official website's price seems lower than Amazon's price now, as Black Friday promotion
can you share the link you bought the Acasis that came with that thunderbolt?
I just did, sorry about that, I thought I did.
thank you !
what is your pc / laptop? mac? windows?
Mac
Wonder if the acasis would work with a the WD BLACK SN850X 4TB
It'll work. It should. The Acasis Enclosure can work with up to an 8TB SSD.

I love my Acasis with a Samsung 980 PRO 2 TB. It gets 2800 r/w
That is with my Mac Studio Ultra 48 core and using one of the 6 TB4 ports.
Nice, I had to return mine because it will eject itself and would mess my downloads. Oh well..
@@josedelarocayou returned the Acasis?
@@kentowne2462 Yes, it kept ejecting itself.
@@josedelaroca sorry to hear that. Like donross7820, I have it with a Samsung 980 Pro and it has been running like a charm.
Do they have an enclosure for the ssd that comes with heatsink just cause I have an extra one
i got anxiety watching this video
What about temperature and heat generation???
Dude doesn't even know how to put the nvme in the slot and is doing a video review.
No, Dands, you are wrong. He's not doing review videos. It's an unboxing video. Know the difference and then comment.

Not 40Gbps but 22Gbps
That’s the literal maximum you’ll ever get out of a “40Gbps” thunderbolt 3/4 connection.
