So, when possible you should buy certified USB 3.2
So these aren't cheap tires?
When I plugged my SanDisk Extreme Pro portable SSDs, they got maybe ~600Mpbs in my M1, and 900-1000Mbps in my 2018 mini.
A little research revealed the unsupported standard.
my 2¢, putting a NVMe SSD in a USB 3.2 enclosure is like putting
cheap tires on a Ferrari F8 Spider.
Maybe.
But my 2¢ is that I won't pass up a deal on an m.2 NVMe stick just because I've yet to find a reliable, moderately price TB4 box.
So I can continue to buy SATA SSDs and box that have no futureproofing, or I can take steps that put me in that direction.
Now, if I do find a good box and the price of good 1T or bigger m.2 sticks drops significantly below what I paid for my 8200 and 8100, I'll feel bad.
For a minute, then I move on.
This is surprising. I know some of you here have NVMe SSDs in external enclosures, and I assume most would be USB C. For those that have an M1, what kind of transfer speeds are you getting?
It surprised me when I tried my XPG 8200 with my M1 MBA, a few months back, and I'm surprised it din't raise more flags.
I was getting maybe ~500Mbps, maybe a little more, I don't recall.
With my 2018 mini, it was almost double.
When it happened with my SanDisk Extreme Pro (m.2 inside), I went looking for an answer.
I don't know why Apple doesn't support that particular protocol/standard.
It seems to be popular with external drives, and according to the innerwebs, it's a common standard in the PC world, so I'm curious about the why.
And the USB forum/consortium/whatever didn't do us any favors with changing the nomenclature of USB standards.
And the fact that a 'USB-C shaped' port may support some standards and not others depending on the given machine, doesn't help those of us who don't live, eat, and breath specs.
The lack of Apple support for this specific standard took a lot of people by surprise.
Anyway, I've got an empty MX2 enclosure which will work on all my Mac kit, albeit not particularly fast..
That'll do me until a good price on a USB4/TB4 (is there such a thing) box or boxes come along.
I'd like to see 3000-3500Mbps my 8200, but I don't know that will ever happen.
All the reviews I've seen on it and Samsung Pro sticks that get that kind of speed have been done on PCs.
One review said 'you can expect a little slower speeds on a Mac'.
Oh, thanks so much.
