QUOTE(firdausbhari @ May 27 2025, 12:45 PM) the culprit for overheat is the chipset. USB4 ASMedia or Intel JH can get quite hot for long run. Your SSD can operate up to 85c. But when your overall PCB gets hot, it will affect the SSD as well. Every 10gbps enclosure runs cool nevertheless. Please do research before jumping to conclusion. Dunno that is why ask here. What do you mean please do research before jumping to conclusion?

Being that small size, surely the temp will be higher regardless 10gbps or not. I've used so many different portable SSD including 10gbps, 40gbps USB4 in different size. Small ones are HOT. They even get disconnected because overheats.

Ya..only iboffrcc..but i suggest dont source the chipset yourself..very troublesome if one of themgot issue and etc..just send your chip to ibroff ask them do is better and they can offer warranty.

We need to know M4 already using 3nm 2nd gen chip. Even M5 is come out, it could be 3rd gen or 4th gen chip...but to be honest processor chip already reach its bottleneck... It cant be involve too much unless breakthruh on 2nm or even 1nm chip..

It cant be involve too much unless breakthruh on 2nm or even 1nm chip.. even after 8 mths the cheapest price is EDU pricing 2.1K base model Not so much discount even though it’s already consider cheapest M4 Mac This post has been edited by chupapi_munyayo: Aug 26 2025, 12:32 PM
