I got mine through Kickstarter. It works great, but the fan on mine is definitely noticeable. It also likes to spin up even if the drive is not actively doing anything. So every few minutes I get a whir that I can hear across the room. Not the end of the world for transferring files, but I’d never leave it plugged in daily.
Yeah. I hadn’t considered that happening. It would be a better design to be able to also clip the cable holder to the enclosure directly also. Did you contact Sharge to see if you can get a replacement?
@@TomFrickerPhoto I haven't... I bought it from amazon- I also don't like the case, I still have it... but I'd just much rather the loop be a part of the enclosure... I guess I could give it a shot and contact Sharge for a replacement case and just.. not use the loop.
Good question. I don’t really have a way to test. Heatsinks always worried me a bit as often they transport the heat through the inner working of small devices. No expert though so maybe that’s fine.
@@TomFrickerPhoto $40 is a lot for an enclosure like this. The cost per enclosure I can guarantee isn’t exorbitant. Someone with some cad skills could definitely double down on these as there isn’t a patent.
The iphone mic is on the bottom on the left , ofc you would hear, i bet android phones have a better noicr canceling , because the position of the mics and they have 3 mics instead 2,, iphones have one mic on the camera witch is mostly use for noice cancelling, Bottom mic is the main mic ,

I can't understand why your Samsung drive is so slow! I had a similar Samsung drive connected to my iMac and it was like 10x faster than yours...
The only difference is a fan? Seems irrelevant as desktop m2 mounts work just fine with passive heat sinks, existing enclosures besides this one already have passive heat sinks. It also uses a more expensive form factor for larger capacities.
The fan is certainly the addition. I haven’t bench marked this against an enclosure without to see if there is a performance difference with prolonged use. Maybe I’ll try that and publish the result. Thanks for watching.
I don't really like the case of this nvme SSD, it is held by magnets and in tranzit if you drop it in water, it could damage the nvme SSD and also the USB type-C male tip, should be longer, something like 11 mm, to use this nvme Drive with tough smartphone cases.
I think the inclusion of the male USB port is a great idea. Means the drive can be used on its own with no other accessories or leads, can just be plugged straight into a device and you are good to go. Also when using with a smart phone the drive is held securely in place by the USB C port. Other drives connect via mag safe, but this one leaves that open for another accessory, such as a power bank.
@@TomFrickerPhoto I always have access to a cable, that male plug is a reason for me to avoid it especially since it risks damaging it's own plug, pcb or the host device's socket in a manner that cables wouldn't. What I want is encryption and the ability to accept a full size nvme drive (WiFi/Bluetooth mini NAS functionality would be a bonus).
"It weighs only 24 grams-literally nothing"
Try telling that to the drug squad!
Ha ha. In those terms it’s certainly something!

Yeah it can be a bit annoying I must admit!
I have 2 of it, I put a SN740 2TB in it. For me it's perfect for media consumption, I have all my files and videos in it.
For housing large files it is a great little drive for sure. Thanks for watching!
I have one with 2TB and I can't see it in File Explorer, but I can't launch it.
What chipset is it? Asmedia? JMicron?
I got one, the silicone case's loop thing broke... I wish there was a loop on the bare metal enclosure.

Epic! I even subscribed. And shared link to this vid.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching
Lmao at around $40 no way….
I don’t think it’s a terrible price for an enclosure of its size with active cooling.
@@TomFrickerPhoto It's definitely a cute fan but I still wonder how big an improvement it is compared to a heatsink of the same size.

Maybe it’s on its way out. It is a couple of years old and heavily used! Good job I have an upgrade now I guess!
Probably dropped down to USB 2.0 speeds due to worn out cable or port.
Maybe. I’ll have to play around with it a bit as it’s a great little drive.

bro check your T5 SSD
i get way way faster speed here with mine
your might be going bad?
or fake one
or usb cable used not best
ahahahah
Yeah I’ve tried it with a few different cables and it’s the same. Maybe a good time to upgrade!
Poor design, why on earth is there a male USB sticking out of it? It would be more useful if it could take other drive sizes.
