That would be great but Apple Silicon does not work with PCIe/Thunderbolt enclosures.

Other World Computing says their PCI chassis work with data-based PCI cards. Are you talking about Apple Silicon not working with external video cards?

@@PolluxChung No, I'm talking about the inability to see any PCIe peripherals via those types of enclosures. If you know of any examples of anyone using PCIe SSDs in one of those enclosures and working on Apple Silicon please do post a link, I'd be very interested 👍

Maybe you can ask the people from Other World Computing. They claim their PCI chassis work on Apple Silicon Macs.

no

@@DavidHarry I mean in order to stream at 4k with elgato do I need a 4k monitor?

@@SandipDwivedi7 No. You only need a 4K monitor for playing/monitoring your game on an external monitor and that's only if you are playing/monitoring with a passthrough to an external monitor. Even then, that can be 1080 but you will be restricted to 1080 for the recording. If you are playing/monitoring on the iPad screen you don't have to worry about any passthrough to any playback/monitoring monitor for the gameplay. The monitor that you use for OBS can be any resolution, it's independent of the stream or capture resolution. However, it will help to have a 4K monitor for OBS as it will help with the user interface for OBS. Cheers, Dave.

You are wrong. This video clearly shows issues with Gen 4 and many other people have reported these issues. To anyone else reading this comment, just use a Gen 3 with your iPhone 15 or iPhone 16.

@ Yes, I agree that there is a problem and it is shown in the video, I just shared my experience of use. Maybe I was just lucky. For the best convenience and 100% result, it is better to use Gen 3. Perhaps it will be refined in future versions of the iPhone.

YT keeps deleting my comments :(

Hi, Daniel. I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for the sub 👍 Cheers, Dave.

Hi. It's been 9 months since its release and I'm even having problems with the 4K X on my Macs as well. As far as I'm concerned, Elgato simply do not put enough effort into supporting their products on Apple devices. Cheers, Dave.

@@DavidHarry is there any alternative that you can recommend for capturing gameplay on iPad?

@@Rooster2AA Not that I'm aware of but there may be something out there.

Hi. Awesome, I'm glad the video helped you to get you app from your brother's iPad 👍 Cheers, Dave.

That’s wonderful. I’m glad you were able to retrieve those precious pictures. Cheers, Dave.

Glad it was helpful! You are very welcome 👍 Cheers, Dave.

Thank you 👍

Any swap memory usage?

Hi. Unfortunately, all the concerns you’ve raised can be said about many small electronic devices. Cheers, David.

@@DavidHarry True, but beside the point. There are other considerations when choosing active over passive cooling.

@@AntiTheismForever Yes, that’s right. However, it’s down to the individual to weigh up what’s best for their scenario and use. My video is just one of many on KZbin that shows a specific use that will help others make a more informed purchasing decision after watching other videos and weighing up their options. Cheers, Dave.

I will be trying other enclosures and will see if Quizlab will send me one to test. Cheers, Dave.

Great comment 👍

Hi, Mark. Sorry, I don’t know why yours isn’t working. Mine does and I’ve since tried a couple of other 1TB Gen 3 SSDs that have worked. Maybe try formatting to MBR not GUID and see if that makes a difference. Technically, MBR isn’t really designed for large capacities but it can work. It may also be worth trying ExFAT as well. What are you using to format with. Cheers, Dave.

@ Thanks DH. I used the utility disk on my M3 pro max to format to APFS and also tried reformatting for a second time. Is there a specific tool you use / would recommend?

@@markorral Hi, Mark. All I use is the standard Disk Utility in macOS. I'm not sure if a standalone disk app would make any difference. The only problems I've had in the past was when I'd used an SSD that had been used under Windows. Sometimes those formatted SSDs were problematic with macOS and iOS/iPadOS. One of my solutions for those disks was to either reformat using Mini Tool Partition Wizard under Windows, or reformat under Linux using GNOME. It's been a while since I done that but from what I can remember, I think it was because the standard Windows formatting tool was adding an extra partition that macOS couldn't get past and it would still be there even after a full format using Disk Utility. Although, I did have issues with SSDs that had been formatted using MBR or GUID, I can't remember which way round it was. In any event, sorry, I cant think of anything else. However, and unfortunately, it may still be the case that your formatting is fine but the power requirement is a bit too much for iPhone, even though my exact same enclosure/SSD combination is fine on my 16PM. Cheers, Dave.

@@markorral Actually, Mark. Just one last suggestion. If you have any other C to C cables it may be worth trying them, just in case. Cheers, Dave.

@ Legend - thank you! Yes because I am using the T4 cable which came with my Acasis so perhaps that’s the issue. Will report back

Hi. You are very welcome 👍 And thank you for your comment 👍 Cheers, Dave.

@@80-80. Yes, it’s going to be interesting to see what the heat issues are like on passively cooled TB5 enclosures. Cheers, Dave.
