I didn't even realize Kioxia did micro SD. I only see 256 GB, though. Not even 512 or 1 TB available. I have given up on Samsung micro SD, due to failures. I was kind of worried that only Sandisk Extreme seemed to be my viable reliable.
Yeah, I am curious to know if I can use these for such purpose. Do you have any ideas? Specially for phones. Also if I can use them for pc. Simply like an SD card for phones, SSD for PC. Would it be good and reliable for such purpose in the long term?
They should make a "ribbed" full aluminium version with no fan. Direct chassis cooling with the extra ribbing surface area would suffice outside of extended writing periods, where it'd just throttle and be fine
@@droopy_eyes they only run a few watts. There are tons of aluminium passive ssd enclosures. The heat only ramps because the drives themselves have like 0 thermal mass.
lol yeah and 10yrs from now we're going to be laughing about spending $160-$200 on a 2TB M.2 NVME drive. By that time you'll probably be able to buy one for $10-$15.
finally! now i can hold the entirety of the wii u library in my pocket without people laughing at me and without my pants falling down! my pc doesnt even explode! this is awesome!!!
Contrary to popular belief, SSDs perform better and last longer in higher temps than lower temps as NAND is very similar to battery cells which degrade in cooler temps. Your standard metal sticker M.2s come with are efficient enough to prevent the PCB getting damaged
@demon6937 I think overall it will be the same longevity as NAND technology has really advanced over the years and most brands can outlive a HDD. But it's higher shouldn't throttle speed, you only need to worry about protecting the PCB and surrounding motherboard which the stickers on M.2, or the thin metal cover some come with, or laptops metal holder is sufficient enough to do
@@betablockrr another question would the 10gbps ssd enclosure enough for storage purposes? I've seen 20gbps and 40gbps(thunderbolt) but the enclosure tends to be more expensive.
@demon6937 10Gbps would be perfectly fine, even SATA SSD at 6Gbps is still pretty fast and for most uses like games, updates and file transfer you won't notice much difference unless your transferring 100GB at a time. Also just letting you know that thunderbolt enclosures will say 40Gbps but thunderbolt limits it to 20-22Gbps as it reserves the rest for video signaling
This works perfect along with a Type C dongle so that you can feed power and use the disk on a steam deck. Plus that tight fit wont let you use this on a steam deck with a case on it.
@@nazmulhuda3262. Hi, I sold it, it was too noisy for me, also the silicone case is really bad :) I bought a cheaper one on AliExpress and I'm happy with it
@@snowwolf120 dang I mean I have burned my hand on a USB stick before so I guess it makes sense they need cooling but I've never seen any kind of hard drive, CD, SD card, DVD, floppy disk, etc need cooling.
Would be cool to see them make a version where there's a mini heat-sink. Cause right now they are using the PCB copper layers to act as a heat-dissipation. Very cute drive though!
There is no heatsink thats why its hot, simply adding an fan wont help much without heatsink, even a low 2mm heatsink with little groves improved thermals alot

As someone considering buying an SD card for dual booting Windows on the steam deck, would this be a better option? Would it be ok to play games with this?
Yeah this would be better than running off an SD card, I found that to be very slow, and they're not meant to run an operating system really (no wear levelling / trim support). You could also partition the internal SSD, but this isn't officially supported.
@@liamness not a fan of partitioning the Deck. First I don't know how to do it and could mess up, second I want to keep Steam OS. My question now is: where/how do you buy that small SSD that you put inside the case? According to Taki, this product is only the case, so i would have to buy the SSD itself, but all I find on Google are long ones that don't fit
@@Diamondhaseo "m.2 2230" is the magical term you need to google. m.2 is the interface, 2230 is the form factor. Same type of SSD that the Steam Deck uses internally.
@@liamness It wouldn't be so much of a big deal if systems weren't so reliant on "virtual memory" (swapping data from ram to disk and back) and you had a different storage device available for temp files. Just read/write a file now and then isn't quite as bad as constantly reading and writing. The latter would be slow on a spinning disk, but can cause significant wear and tear on flash memory.
Does it need a fan though? Considering that performance is already 1/4 of the same drive installed internally and that this drive would probably be used only for occasional read/write, I just don’t see a scenario where you would overheat it in real use.
Taki said he has had overheating with other external enclosures. Maybe he moves more data, especially if test related. It's not how often you use it, but how much data you move when you do. Someone infrequently, might actually be moving more games, than the person who is frequently moving only one or two around. Kind of like when people get a new phone and they're loading it up with all their apps, their new phone gets hot and they forgot how hot their old phone alkali was, when new doing the big load. I think the less frequent someone does it, the more games they will have completed or tired of and the more they'll want to load up.
I have the Sabrant MINI Rocket drives that are proper M.2 Gen 3 mini drives. Look really neat, cute size but OH BOY do those get toasty even in their all aluminum enclosure. SO... What i did was bought two heat sinks for it and placed it on either side with a high quality thermal pad. TOTALLY did t he trick, Made it bulky but found heat sinks for both in black and silver to match the drives. I conveniently had a PERFECT case for them, I think it was a GO-PRO square case, and it fits them perfectly. SO, I do know what you're talking about.
THIS IS A MUST BUY!!!!😮 When I upgrade my Steamdeck I'm gonna use this expand my storage as external storage I might even Install Windows 11 on it THANK U
I was considering this little enclosure but after i saw that write speeds were capped out at 1gbps I decided to go with a different option. I needed a case because i plan on transferring data from another external M.2 drive, just a little over 1TB of data. Considering both M.2 drives are pcie gen 4.0 with a read speed around 5,000 mbps and write of 3,000 mbps this enclosure would kind of cripple it's performance. It will be interesting though to see how fast the total file transfer takes since yesterday I backed up about 3TB of data from an SSD to an external HDD and it took almost 10hrs to transfer everything.
I'm gonna use this one for my smartphone which sadly does not have a slot for SD-cards. Thus it's a perfect long storage portable solution for me! Also. We who don't mind the fan noise will look forward to tuning that little fan to insane speeds and performance Thanx for this video
Do you need to do any setup if your using it on a legion go or rog ally, like formatting it? When it’s a brand new ssd or a used ssd both used for storage
A SSD as small as 2230 will generate much more heat than normal 2280, in this case, if you want to use the SSD at full performance with a tiny case, a Mini Fan is necessary. Meanwhile, for this tiny thing, there are two main controllers, one controller is placed on the SSD itself, the other one is RTL9210B ( from the video ). Both controllers will generate a lot of heat during high-speed transmmsion, and the manufacture use heat spreader, mini fan, combined with the metal case to improve the thermal performance, a very good solution, hope Taki can do a stress test to check the real performance.
This looks super intriguing as a dj that mostly uses thumb drives on cdj 3000s at most clubs, really wish pioneer would add a usb c slot to their players though cus having an adapter seems like a pain

The speed is fine for gaming, the only problem is transferring games as its slowish and do it enough times and you're wearing both drives, so don't do it too often
bro it takes thousands of writes to kill an SSD, just use it as hard as you want. I've used one now that has thousands of writes, it's full, it's beginning to degrade but barely and the thing is a decade old. Just use your SSD, new tech will exist, make it easier to save files, and outclass it by several times before you get remotely close to killing the drive.
@@escapetherace1943 I'm talking about transferring 100s of GB of games constantly like a few times a day, I doubt people does that but, it would literally just eat DWPD and its not guaranteed to work over that. Best case scenario is just not to transfer every so often, if not at all would be even better. It's a storage medium It's best used/read as it is than constantly transferring, also It's inconvenient. Newer drives also has less write cycles than previous gens so ymmv It also might be better if you get a much bigger capacity as a full SSD wears out much quicker than it is over 75ish% if you have a lot of big capacity games or a lot of them. 2tb 2230 nvme ssds might not be enough for people these days and I don't think there's any bigger ones.
MicroSD cards go up to 1TB now, and you know how tiny those are. 2TB in the 2230 NVMe form factor is huge compared to two microSDs with the same storage capacity, lol
@@dgwdgw major problem is that SD cards usually have way lower life expectancy due to physical design and cost cutting. 2230 has a niche here though I very much prefer 2280.
Can I use this for media store purpose? Or can I just use it for any purpose? Would it be reliable enough? I want one to store my media and other files. Might also use for other stuffs if I get the chance. But not sure how good this is. Mostly worried if this things breaks or get corrupted or anything bad which I just never want to happen.

I wonder if it will work with the aokzoe A1 pro the bottom port
most likely would. usb c is usb c
@@JJiG the bottom port is too deep so I don’t think it will work
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤dont own any of those gaming setups, but would love one for my phone
This should be good!
