QwiizLabs ES40UR Fanless External USB4 NVMe SSD Enclosure

[@TheAxb2010]

Mike, thank you so much for making me aware of this enclosure. I have used up all of my allocated PCIE lanes with one gen 5 and a gen 4 internal drive. Any more internal drives and my GPU would lose half it's PCIE lanes so I had to resort to USB4 to expand storage. Paired the enclosure with a 4 TB Orico e7400. As I suspected, it gets closer to the 40Gbps limit, ~ 3600 MB/s on read and writes.

[@MikeFaucher]

Glad to hear it worked out and you are getting good speeds. Thanks for the feedback.

Easily the best drive enclosures of any type I have ever used. Thank you for your review here. On this and a few other videos, I bought two of these under a brand called Colorii (were they the original creators of this? Was it Hagbis? I think Quiizlabs is yet another downstream copy). Massively impressed with the build quality and attention to detail. The design is fantastic, with beautifully cut CNC curves and anodized aluminum just like my MBP. The indicator light's rounded corners are all perfectly concentric. The illumination across the spatial area of the indicator light is smooth and perfectly even. The rubber feet are solid and grippy and pose no threat of coming off. The soft felt carrying bag included in the box is a delight. Even the cardboard box was finely constructed with the whole mechanism of the air vacuum forcing the inner box of contents to drop very slowly out of the lid, Apple style. Everything about this product is premium, except the price. In any case, they're gorgeous, they run cool, and the ASM2464PD inside goes as fast as it does in any enclosure. On my base model M4 Mac Mini, they each get 3300 MB/s write and 3100 MB/s read with a 2TB SN850x. I'm running them in RAID0 across two Thunderbolt buses and am getting 6100 MB/s write and 5600 MB/s read in that configuration. These will do SPLENDIDLY. Best part? They were $51 each on AliExpress!

[@MikeFaucher]

Thanks for your detailed feedback on the device and I completely agree on their construction. Not sure who the original OEM is as I have only dealt with NewQ. You are getting some great speeds in the RAID 0 configuration. Thanks again for the update.

[@MadelnMachines]

Can these support my WD 8TB 850X?

[@chuckaeronut]

@@MadelnMachines While I personally haven't run my 8TB SN850x in my copy of this enclosure, it being an ASM2464PD box like any other means there is no doubt that your 8TB SN850x will work just fine.

[@MikeFaucher]

@ Yes that is my understanding.

[@B4s3MXxD]

WIsh these were around when I bought my Maiwo ASM2464 enclosures about a year ago. I had to buy and add my own heatsinks on top of those cases because they get so hot. This looks like an elegant out-of-the-box design for the hot but otherwise great performing ASM2464 chipset.

[@MikeFaucher]

Thanks for the comment. Could not agree more.

[@josephk.9567]

Do you know anything about the power consumption of this enclosure in idle?

[@MikeFaucher]

No, I do not see the idle power specs listed and do not have an accurate way of measuring it. Great question. Might be worth a quick email to them.

[@sebastiankovac3334]

Hi. 👋 What mac was this tested on? The question is whether it achieves the same results on older Macs with Intel and Thunderbolt 3.

[@MikeFaucher]

I test everything on a M1 and M2 macbook air.

[@soundknight]

If I use a NvME card in this unit with a DRAMless design, and format it to exFAT, will it still work in my iPad mini 6? Thinking of the Lexar nm790 4tb...

[@MikeFaucher]

Can't answer that as I have not tried that combo. I have used this drive on on the M4 iPad and it works great.

[@JudgeFredd]

You know what ? I am excited…

[@MikeFaucher]

Glad to hear it.

[@wvvollenhoven]

Almost clicked to buy, then I read it has an Thunderbolt 3 that is compatible with Thunderbolt 4 chip... bummer.

[@MikeFaucher]

This device is USB4/Thunderbolt 4 and is backward compatible with Thunderbolt. Same as the Zike and Hyper. There are other good choices out their and all are backward compatibile to support older chipsets on computers. Hope that helps.

[@edwinchoi6111]

Using windows 11, do u guys do this Right-click the drive on which you want to turn disk write caching on or off, and then click Properties. Click the Policies tab. Click to select Better performance. Click to select Enable write caching on the device. Only by enable this, my write speed is bump up from 500Mb/s to 2600MB/s

[@MikeFaucher]

Thanks for providing the answer.

My internet blocks the wifi camera i could not configure , any solution pls .

[@MikeFaucher]

You commented on on an SSD so can you explain more on your question? What camera brand/model, how is it hooked up etc.

[@Vikram-666-p5d]

@@MikeFaucher i am using ezviz h9c model wifi camera , its is connecting / configuring under one internet connection via mobile the same is not happening under other internet connection .

@@Vikram-666-p5d Unfortunately, I have not used these cameras and can't offer much help. Sorry, I could not be more help.
