This looks useful, but I really wish you showed the performance in Raid 1 mode. I think most buyers of a dual bay would be after redundancy over using two drives in one enclosure for convenience and just more Raid 0 memory. These enclosures @ 40 GBPs are great and all offer similar speeds (of course it depends a bit on the Nmve used), but how the performance is affected when you mirror the drives would be quite important.
Hello, I have the Acasis Thunderbolt 3 SSD Encloure. I've tried to remove it safely from the Windows 11 Pro pc using by using the icon at the task bar that says, safely remove hardware and eject media. But it doesn't remove. The only way I've been able to do it is by shutting down the PC. Are you having the same problem? Would you have a work around that doesn't involve having to shut down the PC. Thanks, Good Video.
The major issue is that the enclosure delivers performance only if setup in striped mode. The speed you get in striped mode with two NVME drives is similar what you achieve with a single drive in a cheap TB3 enclosure. it seems every slot has only half of the bandwidth available. Take this into account when purchasing but it offers a great storage capacity up to 16 TB. If i compare it to my Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB placed in an older Anyono TB-casing i get MUCH higher speeds on my M1 MBA 16/256 In Blackmagic depending on the stress size 1-5 GB (5 GB seems to be the standard value) i get the following values Stress Level 5 GB Write 2445 MB/s Read 2768 MB/s Stress Level 1 GB Write 3666 MB/s Read 2798 MB/s Stress Level 2 GB Write 2804 MB/s Read 2755 MB/s Stress Level 3 GB Write 2586 MB/s Read 2759 MB/s Stress Level 4 GB Write 2502 MB/s Read 2757 MB/s So it seems that in the Acasis TBU405 ProMax every NVME Port just get half of the available bandwidth by default, does it have differnt values when only populated with one NVME drive, does the WD Blacks same values in diffrent TB-housings? The problem with striping is an extended danger of data loss, and only with striping the device delivers the performance much cheaper standard NVME housings deliver, of course there can't be a higher data transfer due to the limitations of TB/USB4, you have only 40 Gbps , for all (Video, Network, Data), and the amount of data bandwidth is limited by specification, you can use a NVME Gen 5 you won't get more, a high end Gen 3 almost deliver everything possible (app. 95%) but you get them dirt cheap now.
THIS IS NOT a PLUG n PLAY device. Be very very careful. I ve had mine for a week. The instuctions are flawed and not clear. Every day i get a new link from them but no help.

Will the iPad charge if this is plugged in ? That could be a deal breaker

In Blackmagic depending on the stress size 1-5 GB (5 GB seems to be the standard value) i get the following values
Stress Level 5 GB Write 2445 MB/s Read 2768 MB/s
Stress Level 1 GB Write 3666 MB/s Read 2798 MB/s
Stress Level 2 GB Write 2804 MB/s Read 2755 MB/s
Stress Level 3 GB Write 2586 MB/s Read 2759 MB/s
Stress Level 4 GB Write 2502 MB/s Read 2757 MB/s
