  too rich for my tastes, for $12 more , could get one of those crucial p1's when they were on sale. would be worth more than this… imo

    comparing a nvme enclosure with a nvme?

• 

  jp1011 on 27/08/2020 - 23:09

  Would USB 3.2 bottleneck the drive?

  • 

    garetz on 27/08/2020 - 23:36

    +1

    Depends on the speed of the drive, 10 Gbps is about 1200 MB/sec, some nvmes can do 3000 MB/sec or so in real term speeds internally.

      Exactly what I was after! Thanks

    Yes. Real world numbers are around the 850MB/sec mark. Even lower end nvme drives would far exceed this.

  Does this work with the Crucial P1 drive?

  • 

    Butterfly Gocha on 28/08/2020 - 00:19

    P1s are 2280 so seems to fit 2230/2242/2260/2280 form factors

    Just check first

  What a waste of money. I want one now.

  Cannot use as a boot drive if you get the idea which was unfortunate.

  • 

    Elpres on 28/08/2020 - 11:27

    Why is that?
    I used an NVME with usb enclosure for a while as my boot drive (I didn’t have an onboard M.2).

    It worked fine as long as I didn’t bump it and lose the connection, which only happened three or four times in the several months I was using it.

      The way the chip is designed it doesn't want to be a boot option.
      I used the same NVME SSD in a Orico cheap enclosure and it worked fine.
      Also it does not support SATA M.2

  This will go nicely with my RGB toothbrush.

  Do these drives actually get hot enough to need heatsinks?

  The NVME SSD in my lappy doesn't seem to give a crap even running VMs.
