This came at such a good time as I’m doing a complete revamp of my media storage! I’ve been working mostly off the Samsung SSDs, G-Drives, and Lacie HDDs, but it’s amazing to see the options we have for external storage these days. Great video and really appreciate the BM speed tests you did!
@@RyanKao ryan you mentioned you can use it with USB if you dont have Thunderbolt. do you know what speeds you would get then? how much you would lose ? kind reagrds
Your video is one of the best and clearest that I have seen in a long time. I am not a computer geek but an amateur photographer who completely understood your presentation. Thank you.
Recently, I've seen manufacturers creating a single housing/shuttle unit that hold four NVMe drives. It's the same size as a 3.5" SSD. Very light. Runs hot. Handles RAID configs. That option can be useful for creators with large projects who need professional-grade data redundancy and quick retrieval.
As someone who just got home from a remote gig doing editing on the fly and quickly for a music festival I really wish the algo would’ve recommended this video before my gig lol! Man this was so insightful and full of the exact information I need to level up my editing rig! Thank you so much!
I haven't been in the game for nearly ten years. Seeing this video brought me up to speed with what I need to know to make an informed decision. Thank you. I liked and subbed
I'm currently using the following external setup on my MBP 16" M1 Pro & Mac Studio M1 Max to edit FCPx vids. I'm getting read/write speeds of 2400 thru 2800+ MB/s (2.4 Gb/s thru 2.8Gb/s). This is among the fastest I've seen for an external M.2 setup! M.2 stick: SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe Gen 4 (MZ-V8P1T0B) - $139 Enclosure: TEKQ Cube Thunderbolt 3 SSD Enclosure, Thunderbolt 4, USB 4 - $127 Overall, I'm pretty darn happy with this setup even though the enclosure does get hot (they all do!). Also, I know the SSD is overkill since the enclosure will NEVER see the 7000 MB/s rating of the gen 4 980pro, but for the reasonable/discounted price of the pro I decided to get the highest tier option.
@@mattduncan5500 On my Mac Studio M1 internal I'm seeing 5390+ MB/s Read and 4600+ MB/s Write. I don't have my MBP around at the moment to run a test on it
This is very useful and so timely, thanks a lot Ryan! I just ran out of space in my computer 2 days ago and i was going crazy trying to figure out what to do for my media storage and you broke it down so clearly! Im getting that Sabrant and Acasis combo right now.
Bought the Acasis a year ago... Ended up not using it cause it's heavy and big. Instead I use a Kingston xs2000 which is small and ultralite and I have no problem even when it's hanging from my Macbook pro's usb-c port. However, I miss the speed of the TB4 Acasis case, so, I'm in search for the best way to attach the case on the screen... Nice video!
As a DJ who works every single weekend at minimum, and is also constantly updating and restructuring his library, having a fast & reliable hard drive is super duper important. I've tested this idea of a custom drive years ago during prominent 2.5 inch SATA SSD's, and my custom worked very well for basic file management. Excited to give this another go for my music libraries.
Also, I'm tired of having hella 1TB drives just sitting around. With a custom route, you can swap it out and keep the same enclosure. Also, you can install that M.2 SSD in another device, or resell (Which to me, internal M.2 SSD's have a better resale value than external drives). ONE LAST THING, I think this is a greater "future proof" approach because if (Hopefully when) Thunderbolt enclosures become more affordable, you can truly unlock the full read and write capabilities of the drive you already use.
I’ve had a bad experience with the Sabrent drives with the enclosure. Sure they’re fast, but I’ve had them get too hot and disconnect mid transfer. I’ve had this happen on two Sabrent purchases.
Ahhh coming in clutch as always bro! Media storage is definitely something I've been wanting to have a nice portable system with since I didn't spring for massive storage on my Mac. Glad to see the different options that are out there and speed is always a must haha 👌🏾
Do you think putting a 980 pro heatsink version into an Acasis enclosure, and leaving it open behind the Mac studio right next to the air flow is a good idea?
I use an Icy Dock PCIe 4x mobile rack in my main PC. I can take the NVMe out of the Sabrent (for example) and put it in the Icy Dock cartridge then insert the cartridge into the rack. Other users claim you can get 4.0 speed out of this on a 4.0 slot. I can confidently say, it's fast AF!! The only big drawback is that since the rack is on the PCI bus, it's not plug-and-play, requires a reboot. I haven't played around with it, yet. I tend to move the data via USB 3.+ to the NVMe in the rack. NVMe sticks are great for archiving, so you no longer need a warehouse!!!!
Samsung T5 has jumped to 329USD. The SanDisk 2TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD - is 2 x as fast Up to 2000MB/s at 269USD. None have Thunderbolt 4. I cannot find the Acasis usb 4.0 m.2 nvme ssd enclosure with Thunderbolt 4/3 Anywhere. Do you have a link to one? Your AMAZON SCREEN SHOT indicates Thunderbolt 3/4. Thank you sir! Us cinematic composers need super high speed that allows us to run massive TB programs straight from the external SSD. I'm going with Acasis and the Rocket SSD. 4 days of researching this has paid off.
I’ve been using the acasis enclosure for almost a year now. I can’t stress how much i recommend this for speed and heat dissipation. I’ve had a sabrant 1tb’s chips burn a couple of years due to heat when i installed it on a cheap plastic/aluminum enclosure 😡. I can’t insist enough applying a heat spreader so it touches the cover. Some SSDs do not touch the case, rendering the purchase of a premium product useless. Let alone loosing a high quality SSD.
Great idea but in Canada on Amazon the hi speed enclosure combined with the Sabrent 4 TB comes out to $1,000 with tax in CDN $. WTF. Who really can afford that?
I don’t believe you can fairly test the Sabrent enclosure on a Mac. While Mac’s do have thunderbolt/usb4 capabilities, anything 3.2 is not supported and gets throttled down to 3.1 speeds. I so not not the full extent of this, but I did confirm that my M1 MacBook Pro M1 Pro only has the usb 3.1 bus interface.
Why would anyone choose to edit off any of those when they have transfer rates of 1000 when the laci rugged pro transfers at 2800. Is there something I’m missing?
Hi Ryan. Great vid. I purchased the NVMe M.2 SSD Acasis enclosure and the Rocket Q4 NVMe 4.0 (2TB) SSD and ran the blackmagic speed test. I am only seeing write speeds of 1073 MB/s and reads of 2381 MB/s. Connected to PC via provided thunderbolt(3) cable. Any thoughts as to why I would be seeing the slower write speeds? Appreciate your thoughts.
As someone in IT I find marketing the act of simply putting internal hard drives in enclosures as “custom hard drives”fascinating. Not complaining, i enjoy this pivot.
Yeah, but to be fair they do have a massive number of options between ports, interface and design. Then the drives themselves add another array of options not available with a “pre built” external drive.
Built this setup and was excited about it, but it keeps randomly ejecting from my MacBook Pro. Any ideas on what to do? Hope someone sees this, as I can’t find any info on it.
Great video. Question. Love the fast enclosure idea with a 2TB ssd. I am thinking of buying a used basic iMac 24 inch. Can I use final cut and use that fast SSD to hold my video and use it to edit from Final Cut? Small videos also. Not major motion pics. Just Real Estate videos. Thanks very much
I'm using Sandisk E61 2TB SSD for backups on shoot, I like the durability and form factor. But I'd definitely use this setup for editing. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks, very useful. One question: I read that only thunderbolt automatically executes Trim routines on the SSD, and that with USB the drive gets slower over time. True?
Great video! One of the best!! Does it run hot during hours of editing? I bought the space shuttle and it nearly burned me. Just wanted your thoughts on this configuration and if so, do you suggest something like thermal pads along with it to keep the temp down. Thanks again!
If you have a MacBook Pro with 8TB Storage, what external drive would you recommend for use with Time Machine? One that is ideally somewhat portable but still fast (that is, if speed is important for a drive you use with Time Machine, maybe not?) Great video thank you for the information!
I will have to check this out I have used a lot of the large and small m.2 enclosures. The only problem I had found with the small ones is that they would get so hot (even tho they shouldn't).
Yes, the smaller enclosures do get hotter. And no it’s not a bad thing, NVME drives output a lot of heat. So a slightly larger enclosure makes a big difference to keep temps down
Man thank you this is very eye opening !!! I also recently bought a m1 macbook pro 14inch and i still didn’t get any dock nore nvme enclosure solution to go with it!!! I am thrilled that you even manage to get it running with a 4To sabrent nvme when acasis themselves advertise their product to max out at 2 To nvme limit Did you kept it ? Have you experience or notice any drop outs or disfunction with the acasis/sabrent combo! I am very curious plus i am about to shoot !!! Anyway thank you for sharing with us , and i wait for your answer anytime you get the chance. God bless you.
A fast Q’ for you (genius 10/10) wanting to export pro res files (motion content - not stills) from Iphone 14 pro max 1 TB daily. Wondering if this will make the cut. Lightening to USB C ? Will it go into the SABRENT system your talking of. If so I’m there in a heartbeat. Thanks again for this great episode. 🎥💪🏼🖋
Ahhhhh I dunno which one to get? My new labtop has a thunderbolt 4 port that I'm not using so thinking about the more expensive one. I'm going to utilize a 1TB ssd I bought a few years ago for a desktop I didn't end up building so now I want the space to use for storing and editing videos. Any advice?
I’ll stick to the T7 2TB for $129.99. The price for the amount of storage can’t be beat and they’re fast enough for video work. I suppose if you’re shooting 6K or 8K video and you want to edit off the drive, then build a drive with good speed and heat dissipation.
@@ghost-user559 Yeah, but for most the price difference isn't really worth it. That T7 2TB SSD is not $115. Can't really beat that price and most people don't need more speed.
@@MariusMocan-mn4do I totally agree. But for anyone using that ssd as a boot drive or transferring a lot of data it might be worth it to use a Thunderbolt case. The biggest reason is MacOS only sends Trim information to a thunderbolt ssd. So to get the expected lifetime of the ssd you really need the OS to talk to the ssd controller through the Trim command. So for casual storage it’s not a problem, but for heavy users it might be worth 150$ or so to get a thunderbolt enclosure and ssd. But you can definitely get multiple T7 as well and go easy on them and be totally fine too.
@@MariusMocan-mn4do It’s also interesting that once you get the Thunderbolt enclosure, the 1 TB evo plus from Samsung is only 60$ right now, and 115$ for the 2TB. So once you get the enclosure you can always upgrade the ssd as you go. I actually didn’t know they were on sale right now. So I’m definitely torn between 150 for the Thunderbolt enclosure 90$ plus the 1TB evo nvme, for 60$ or the 2 TB T7 for 130. For 20$ more I get the extra speed of Thunderbolt and the enclosure for future upgrades. But that 2TB T7 is really tempting because I would only be getting a 1TB around the same price with the Thunderbolt enclosure. Definitely a tough choice at these prices.
