Re: First experience with NVMe M.2 in enclosure - bad.
Trying to get this thread back on track:
I know that the internal SSD in current Macs are wickedly fast. How does a single NVME Thunderbolt enclosure (no switch) with a NVME SSD (like a Samsung 980 PRO PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ SSD 2TB) compare? EDIT: Never mind. Matrrixx answered this in this thread https://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=421527

Like you I've made a case to Sonnet for something like you've described. Their Pro Media Card Reader series looks brilliant - TB3/4, dual-slot, passive, rugged thermally designed enclosure, chainable. A new version that's dual-U2, or dual-NVMe in user-serviceable blades, would be fantastic. I've asked Sonnet to consider this and from their response believe it's not likely to happen. So ignoring cost, an Echo Express III SE configuration looks promising. It's not as versatile as a full-length Echo III but the smaller half-length chassis fits well in my workspace. Beyond having a PCIe switch, I also like the internal energy saver mode for power up/down. Question, is your Sonnet chassis full or half length? I am also watching Trebleet who offer a switched 4x4-lane passive NVMe chassis. The current version heats up as expected but apparently they are testing an update with improved thermals. Best, Sky

Re: First experience with NVMe M.2 in enclosure - bad.
Thanks for also pushing on Sonnet.
I remain happy with the Echo Express III SE, for what they are. I find the fan noise unobtrusive and have two sitting behind my monitor on my desk. You can hear the fan as they power up and that is all. Hopefully they are all this good, but I know some folks are more sensitive than me to fan noise, but the Noctura fans in these do seem quiet. With such great PCIe 4 M.2 SSDs out there it's frustrating to be stuck on Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 3 expansion chassis. Still sad there are not better M.2 storage options out there. Unfortunately SanDisk are pretty much dead to me as a vendor given their ongoing SSD corruption mishandling. |

Re: First experience with NVMe M.2 in enclosure - bad.
I’ve watched so many production videos showing external drives, hubs, cables and warts splayed out on the desk. That’s a bit of a mood crusher for me in a creative environment.
I’m surprised that Apple hasn’t moved into this storage market. My vision of a modular Mac is a head (Mini or Studio form factor) with one short PCIe 16x ribbon plus AC power jumper to a second matching box containing various expansion options - essentially a Mac Pro in two pieces. OWC sort of goes there with its ThunderBay Flex*8, but not as elegantly as what Apple could do. Also, in 2024 why is there not an Apple 10GBe or faster router/NAS that natively supports HFS+ Journaled and APFS-formatted drives? But I digress. If I go with Echo Express III SE: Bay 1 = my existing 1TB SATA sample drive (for now) Bay 2 = 4TB+4TB NVMe on a Sonnet 4x2 card Bay 3 = future expansion Cost adds up but I think this could work well and offer some long-term flexibility. Best, Sky

Re: First experience with NVMe M.2 in enclosure - bad.
Why spend money on that expensive Sonnet SSD adapter card? Just put the M.2 drives on cheap dumb single drive adapter cards that cost ~ $15 each. Use the third slot now, and eventually replace the SATA drive as well with an M.2 drive. Edit: These are what I use in those same chassis: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I5VABFY ha now $12 each. Get M.2 cards with heatsinks or add one to your drives and you should not ever run into heat issues.
