Your channel is Top notch. You're doing a great service testing these devices. There's so many channels that are trying to be entertaining and lack the actual straightforward testing and knowledge gathering. Especially because so many channels are geared toward gaming they lack testing or reviews geared towards other computer technology needs. Such as computer hardware for audio recording and composing which is what I do. Thanks so much.

Always a good review. I was wondering if 4 of these could be ran in raid 10?
@BuildOrBuy2 жыл бұрын
Hi Gerald, Welcome! Interesting Question. Since the Device is Self contained and only supports 2 Drives, there is no way to connect 2 Units together directly as We would through Thunderbolt. This will require Connection through a Computer with Multiple USB-C Ports and using Thunderbolt Ports to have enough USB-C! Configure the Devices for Hardware JBOD. Then using the O/S, Combine Units for Software RAID. Always a way! Maybe not practical but doable! Thanks for Asking!

Great. but just so you know, you you can Buy 2 of those Samsung drives for 643 each right now new on New Egg and an almost identical enclosure from OWC for 179 totaling 1465 dollars as opposed to almost 1900 dollars for the same thing.. saving over 400 dollars. This would take 15 min to put together.

Hi jason carey,, Welcome! Appreciate Your Comments! The Subscriber/ Client asked Us to look at this Device. Not Our choice. We most always prefer to Build vs Buy. Curious about that Chipset. ASMedia is working with AMD to develop the X670E Chipset. And yet this Chipset does not let SMART Pass through on both Drives in RAID, only JBOD. Most curious. And this was the 2nd one We've examined. The first became a Troubleshooting Video! Thanks for Sharing!

Some time ago many of the KZbin influencers said that QLC is no good and that bona fide PC "enthusiasts" only use TLC. When I look at SSD's bigger than 4 TB, they are mostly QLC. Does it really matter if you use QLC versus TLC? Since SSDs are supposed to be nearly eternal compared to an HHD, which they really aren't, is it really a matter of less expensive manufacturing and that kind of thing?

Hi Mike Quinton, Great Question! As that Question relates to this Device, We want a price performance to match capacity. We want the best value. Note the 2 year Warranty of the Device not 3 or 5 years. As this Question relates to technology in general, if We wanted better We'd all be using OS/2 from IBM. And look what happened when We accepted adequate is good enough. And here We are. Hope that helps! Placed a link in Video Description about 200TB SSDs. Fascinating! Thanks for Commenting and Watching! BTW: Just read an Article about a Samsung M.2 NVMe PCIe failing and procedures Customer was instructed by Samsung to perform to prevent sensitive Data compromise. The point, any Media can fail. Not if, but when. Backblaze keeps the best Data on that Topic now. Better now than what Google use to share. Interesting.

I want new tech faster than I can wear the old storage drives out. MLC is best for the user. SLC is best for servers for speed and life span. TLC is third in line. If your going to replace your GEN4 NVMe drives with GEN5 NVMe drives ASAP is doesn't really matter. The time between new and in the dumpster keeps going down.

Buying old tech because my mobo can't use the newest tech storage or ram is something I stopped doing. New tech that's only a minor improvement is another waste of money. A 100% improvement is worth the bucks. If the new GEN PCIe sockets are 10X the bandwidth of any USB port, I'll put my money on a mobo with more cpu lanes to the PCIe sockets.
