Review on πŸ’₯ Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 Dual NVMe M.2 SSD Tool-Free Enclosure (EC-T3DN) - Enhanced for SEO by Russell Mahendra

Revainrating 4 out of 5

good body Just the wrong power supply.

As mentioned in several reviews, Sabrent made a weird mistake regarding the charger. He's incredibly big, too powerful, and he doesn't belong here. For reference, here is a 48W charger. The top-of-the-line, blazing-fast 500GB Samsung 980 Pro (tested here) draws about 5.5W at FULL LOAD – around 7GB/s. Multiply that by two and then. why not add. tell. 100% more buffer and you still barely get past 20W. Just stupid! And do not forget that in this case you will not achieve such speeds. However, this is a solid case. I tested connectivity with both a 2018 Mac mini and a 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro, and speeds are excellent with both the Samsung 980 Pro 500GB and WD Black SN850 500GB. No, they won't reach their maximum speed due to the overhead, but these speeds are still close to the speeds advertised for the case, so I was very pleased: 1.4 GB/s write and 2.5 GB/s read, when set up in RAID 0, either via Apple RAID or SoftRAID, and almost 1.5 GB/s read/write in single drive mode (yes, writes are slightly slower in RAID 0 - probably because the WD Black drive only has one write speed of 1200 MB/s, although the read speed was identical to Samsung's 1500 MB/s). Significantly, power LEDs are only visible when the block is open, but two read/write LEDs are visible from the outside, so at least that's something. Stars out of 5. Good.

Pros
  • Great range
Cons
  • Neutral
