How to Build Your Own High-Performance Portable SSD

[@amirpourghoureiyan1637]

Note: if your internal drive is SATA then it will also cap the transfer rates to ~650mb and under, regardless if you use USB or Thunderbolt. If you're in that situation and just looking for large reliable storage, then go for a SATA drive that has a large RAM cache and SLC layer - as that will determine the consistency of your transfer speeds and the long-term reliability of your external drive.

I've used a 1TB NVMe M.2 in a external enclosure for over a year. It's awesome.

[@ryushogun9890]

How is it so far?

[@MultiPcExpertGhost]

@@ryushogun9890External enclosures suck. It’s not worth it if you do any serious work for a prolonged time.

[@ItsJustFlower]

​@@MultiPcExpertGhostidk, my laptop doesn't have enough storage and i wanted one to put my games on so i have space on my laptop for other stuff. Should i just buy an external ssd from samsung or other companies or make one myself like this

[@MultiPcExpertGhost]

@@ItsJustFlower buy one.

[@hikehillared4642]

Finally a description that even my dad could follow. He just described everything and that's good.

[@kboy5189]

Great video. I like this. No BS, to the point and not dragging the topic to make it 20 or more minutes 🙂

[@fgchd5130]

Very good and helpful content! Thank you very much. 🙂

[@ClayMann]

These are absolutely super. I discovered them last year. Had no idea you could hook up SSD's and even NVME sticks over USB. I've got them for both and while you can treat this like a cheaper alternative to just buying one. I use them to make use of older sticks when I've upgraded internally to larger ones. Its a great way to keep on using smaller drives.

This video gave me the confidence to add an m.2 to my new laptop. Such a helpful, and handsome man, with a voice that just makes me want to take a nap.

[@thefacelessone74]

wtf

[@lawrenceberg5408]

It is awesome seeing Adam Patrick Murray know his way around Windows. I thought as a video editor he was just knowledgeable about Mac stuff. More videos, Adam!

[@meinder2]

I got the same with 2 tb nvmr ssd 3dnand. So nice

[@EyesOfByes]

2:26 Hey! That's the ROG Phone SIM-tool! Talk about synergy 😁

[@jimmydandy9364]

Problem is negative reviews you see lots of people complaining that the thing fails quickly, lasted 1 month, lasted 2 months, lasted 5 months, overheats, errors, etc, I'm sticking with Samsung SSDs the failure rates on big brands are lower.

[@alexisrodriguez7127]

Actually a very well priced drive for the performance. Think I’m going to get a thunderbolt enclosure to really take advantage of the drive however.

[@emanzue8680]

This tutorial really helped me!! Thank you so much!!!

[@ryleedx1209]

Use this for emulator games on a go but some places dont have computer

[@IamSteveJo]

Hi, I have a Kingston A400 240G SATA M.2 2280 Internal SSD, can you suggest the best external case enclosure for this, I've tried at least 4 separate options without any success.

[@brokenoutline]

Can these be formatted for a Mac Pro laptop ? Or is it only for pc users ?

[@sherwintongco6879]

Question does it work on Android Phone im just used it as portable ssd? Thanks

[@Zaroff23]

I have one of these and I love it

[@VeegovonDOOM]

I have this and didn't see a rubber bumper. I'm going to look through my box for it.

[@EricCawaling]

So what's the Speed of Write & Read? when you combine ASUS & SK? 1250 only?

[@shekharrajeshirke]

I hv 500 gb PCIe (may be SATA) internal SSD from old, not working, Macbook Pro (2012) -15inch -16 gb ratina. How can I use it as external drive with mac mini m2? thanks

[@EyesOfByes]

4:28 It's imperative you format the System32 file

[@afre3398]

A saw you using a Swiss Army Knife. Do I need any tweezers for this project or apply (a lot) extra thermal paste. Just to be sure I will be using my Livestrong bracelet for anti static protection

[@purplecrayon7281]

Dead Horse: please stop flogging me.

[@MitchellTheMitch]

Why choose NTFS instead of exFAT?

[@hazeleyezluv]

Can we use this on gaming consoles?

[@AngelxXxDarken]

I’m a nube. I have a macbook pro 16inch 2019 model with usb 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb / s. Will this work well?

[@RahulVangari]

Last cam standing video please !

[@tomtoktakk]

lower price from regular external hard drive? can you give me an example of an expensive hard drive compared to this set up?

[@tarotaddicts4695]

The video is 2 years old. The companies lowered their prices since then, guess cause no one was buying them. Except for the Samsung t7 and the crucial most trusted companies (SanDisk and Seagate has been loose on credibility) were over $155 which is the price of making one. And if u look at 4tb, it's a real money saver then. Cause those start at $360

[@ItsJustFlower]

​@@tarotaddicts4695im looking for a 2tb one. Its not really worth it when a samsung one is only like 200 for the t9 and like 150 for the t7 where i live

[@primetiltpilarstarfish9131]

This is not building this is putting together video should be named appropriately

[@thaitron8264]

nice video, thanks :D

[@Chris-hw4mq]

No testing, no thermal measurement, way to go PCWorld the bar is low

[@VinceNunezsir]

can this be formatted to a current Mac and what read speeds can I expect more or less

[@soapa4279]

Insert with confidence

[@zunaeedemran]

Thanks Man

[@nikitahutagikar4423]

Will this support mobile ??

[@domi-no1826]

i tried looking up how to _make_ circuitboards but instead all i'm getting is how to _use_ circuit boards and now im mad

[@tcnymex]

now, if only there were a similar enclosure for the small graphics cards that go into laptops. my Dell is using Intel XE integrated graphics. I don't game, but I do program matrix inversions using the graphics processors. since I'm not playing games but programming the graphics card, I don't really care about the speed of the interface onto or off the graphics card so much as the amount of RAM on the graphics card (so I can hold a bigger matrix in the graphics memory) and the number of cuda cores on the graphics card (so I can apply more cores to inverting that big matrix in the graphics memory) if there were an enclosure that could house the sort of mini graphics cards that are used in laptops, I would think the thunderbolt 4 port that I have available would be sufficient to drive the card. is that possible? is there a small form factor enclosure for these small form factor graphics cards?

[@prophead62]

yep! $182 for a 500 gigabyte external m.2 drive....wow what a low price!

[@ARXInfinite]

Anyone know if this Works with Xbox Series X? Looking for a decent External SSD With this Enclosure and A SK Hynix Gold p31 (bit overkill for a console but it’s reliable)

[@da7omi911]

Hey leatherman user 🖐️ is it surge ?

[@Aint1S]

Hmm, more hardware? 🤔

[@foreignexchangepapifxpapi8630]

Damn, it costs the same as a t7.

[@grahamhall2662]

That's not building it's assembling.

[@ReiEvangelista]

That feels like a waste of nvme speeds. I just hope people understand the usb bottleneck before they buy into this.

[@alexisrodriguez7127]

For sure to get anywhere near the performance one would need a thunderbolt 3 enclosure

[@meisuci4708]

How to make internal nvme SSD from micro/SD card?

[@patekreol974]

Vraiment intéressant

[@EyesOfByes]

Verkligen intressant 🇸🇪☺️

[@jj-icejoe6642]

This is just a advertising…

[@ShogunMusic254]

I just spent 5 minutes watching this, and you didnt build a thing! you bought a ssd and an enclosure and put the drive inside it. misleading clickbait BS once again.

[@EyesOfByes]

One 8TB NVMe should do it, with one less kidney.

[@thefacelessone74]

seems like a waste of time and money.
