    Can I use this without heat sink? it is slightly slower than other PCIe 4.0 SSDs.

    Can I expect the temperture will be also somewhere between PCIe 3.0 and 4.0?

    • Fatboy74 on 09/05/2023 - 05:26

      Yes

      I got one of these last week. No heatsink, temps when transferring 800gb from my old drive were 50 degrees, but may not be the best indicator since I had the old drive in a USB 10gbps enclosure transferring the files over so it wasn't maxing out the controller on this thing. Temps hit 55 degrees while gaming for a few hours according to hwinfo. I contemplated putting a heatsink on it but it seems fine for my use.

      I'm using a jonsbo V8 case with this SSD on the underside of my gigabyte x570i motherboard. It's exposed to air but there's not much airflow on the position it's in since the motherboard backplate blocks airflow under the motherboard from the big front fan.

      Yes, SSD's like to be warm.

      Good airflow with a passive heat spreader is the most ideal setup, heatsinks are often too cool.

      • incipient on 09/05/2023 - 18:47

        Silicon that likes to be warm? That's new.

        • MasterScythe on 09/05/2023 - 19:53

          Nah, small enough transistors have always liked to be up to operating temp. Its just that historically 'being on' has been enough for that.

          You can actually watch direct to chip SSD's "accelerate" if they've been idle for a while, as the IC's warm up.

          Controllers need to be cooled, memory IC's need to be warm. Hence heatspreaders being so common from storage manufacturers, and heatsinks not.

    Just paid 299 from the other deal.

  • BargainHunterJohnnyB on 09/05/2023 - 07:57

    Theses are gonna be sub 200 soon enough

    How fast do these go when they’re slammed with a lot of data? What’s the sequential write speed after 400gb or so has been written in one go? I can’t find any meaningful reviews :(

  • jasiano on 09/05/2023 - 08:15

    thanks OP. Bought this and an Orico Thunderbolt enclosure so all up under $600 for 4TB SSD that in theory can get 2.5-3GB/s… in theory…

    • HandsomeMonkey on 09/05/2023 - 09:11

      So you paid about the same amount for an enclosure?

      • jasiano on 09/05/2023 - 10:03
        +1

        roughly yes. I wanted a Thunderbolt 3/4 enclosure that has up to 40Gb/s (5GB/s) so that it would actually make a difference speed wise (although tests/reviews of the enclosure I bought showed it would be 2.7-3.2GB/s or so with most SSDs).

        I know that USB 3 enclosures are MUCH cheaper but their max throughput is 10Gb/s which in the real world would be no different to say a Samsung T7 (which I would have bought the 4TB Shield if I was satisfied with that speed).

        Ultimately I couldn't find a plug & play/ready to go 4TB SSD external drive that would give me the >2.5GB/s throughput so I went with a diy combo.

        • sendcoupons on 09/05/2023 - 10:24

          This Acasis supports backward USB 3/4 compatibility with the additional Thunderbolt 3/4. Just unsure how well this PNY drive would perform in it.

            @sendcoupons: I dare say the internals are probably the same/very similar to the one I ordered:
            https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0B13XC75J/ref=ppx_yo_d…

            USD converted to AUD is probably close to what I paid for mine give or take…

            yes it will be interesting to find out what the actual speed will be in the end… in theory both the SSD and the enclosure are rated high enough speed wise to work 'fine' together….

              @jasiano: The one provided from your link looks "Compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4" instead of the real Thunderbolt. as they don't have a Thunderbolt certificated logo on it. So if you want a real TB case. better to avoid this

              • jasiano on 09/05/2023 - 18:49

                @onebee: close enough lol.
                Yeah I noticed it wasn't officially certified but from what I see it's a TB3 controller on board, cheap & cheerful China brands like this won't be paying for the official certification I'm sure.
                It will probably do for now…

              • incipient on 09/05/2023 - 18:53

                @onebee: Adding "uncertified TB3" as USB4 has really made murky thunderbolt branding even more so lol. Now anything USB4 is kinda "TB3/4 compatible"…if you trust the item from china even meets USB4….

    • AusDaniel on 09/05/2023 - 10:03

      Isn't that rated for a maximum of 2tb?

      • jasiano on 09/05/2023 - 10:29

        some are 2TB max, the one I ordered is 4TB capacity.

    Is this mean hardware encryption?

    Or is this include hardware encryption built in?

    I bought this for $299 in JW earlier deal. Installed it in my Legion 5 Pro, cloned previous SSD and now used it as boot drive. So far so good. No additional heatsink but L5 P has thermal pad pre installed so used that instead.

    • jianh on 09/05/2023 - 13:57

      Mind to share what software did you use for cloning boot drive? I’m trying to do the same.

    Gave up waiting for this type of deal and got sucked in on the enterprise HDD. So, 1tb samsung pro boot, 2tb nvme storage….and then 20tb HDD…

  • GregFiona on 09/05/2023 - 10:34

    is this good for the PS5(+ heatsink)?

    • O O on 09/05/2023 - 10:48

      The SSD's spec is slightly below PS5 5,500 MBps sequential read throughput. Your bet.

  • quac on 09/05/2023 - 13:08

    On the BPC website, it says the TBW for the 4TB version is 160. This is an error, and the correct value TBW is 900 confirmed on another site

      4TB $250 is cheaper than sata … tho I am on the same boat

    showing as 299 for me
