QUOTE(Gold_Moderator @ Nov 21 2024, 11:06 AM) 1tb how much dmg ? There are ranging from 250-330. I've been looking around also and at this price range the best seems to be Kingston KC3000 with 800TBW on the 1TB drive. Others only 600TBW. Read and Write are about the same though. Over 5000MB/s. But we will be limited to thunderbolt 4 speed at around 3500MB/s. I've seen some TB4 enclosure with fan about RM220-250. ORICO has combo ones with enclosure and their 1TB drive from taobao that cost RM570+. My friend bought the UGREEN 40gbps enclosure, I will wait for the review first to see if it can dissipate heat good. |

QUOTE(Gold_Moderator @ Nov 21 2024, 11:50 AM) so total dmg is about rm580 ?? This is only 10gbps. You will get around 950MB/s R/W. Not worth it...I come across kickstart offer. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/movesp...category_id=337 |

QUOTE(tcwan @ Nov 21 2024, 05:21 PM) For some reason, Orico's official store on Lazada doesn't list many of these items (especially the TB-based enclosures and the Mac-specific ones, like the one you listed, as well as a dual-HDD MacStudio stackable enclosure I saw on the Orico Global FB page). Most of the Orico HDD enclosures in their Lazada store are all USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) based. I am leaning to Orico 1TB NVME O7000 ssd and their USB 4 enclosure with fan. Total up around RM456 from taobao.Any idea why the Orico store on Lazada doesn't list them? It's not like Lazada only sells to Malaysia. It's ridiculous lazada is selling the O7000 for RM428 and from taobao can get RM236.   This post has been edited by yvliew: Nov 21 2024, 07:10 PM tcwan liked this post

QUOTE(TrialUserXP @ Nov 24 2024, 10:34 PM) anyone tried this ugreen? I did look at this one before purchasing Orico. The reviews are good and you can find some reviews on youtube. Speed is good. Cooling seems good too. But the price is more expensive. I think Orico will work similar from the reviews I’ve seen. So I opted for cheaper orico which also has fan for active cooling. |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Dec 2 2024, 09:42 PM) Ah, so this SL600, although it says can support up to 20Gbps, it won't because I don't have the hardware that can support it is it? Sorry ah, tech n00bie here Mac does not support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 protocol which I just learn couple days ago. That's why my 20gbps portable ssd never reach 2000MB/s. Mac only support TB3,4 USB4 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 10gbps. "A note for Macworld readers: Somewhat confusingly, Macs support 20Gbps USB, but only if the SSD is USB4. USB 3.2×2 20Gbps SSDs such as the SL600 will perform at 10Gbps using the USB 3.1 gen 2 protocol on Apple computers." But here's the thing, the new M4 Mac mini ports are USB4 isn't it so it should be giving me the max speeds, no? |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Dec 3 2024, 02:10 AM) I thought the 2 front ports on the M4 Mac Mini is USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 protocol.... which reminds me, I should test the speed again using the front ports but OMGAWD I just sorted all the cables! The front port is only 10gbps. |
