💽 WestDigital External Drive 4 - Socket Enclosure Review

After buying an upgraded MBP 13 M1, I wanted to get a hub with an internal SSD slot. I chose this one because it had an SD and a Micro SD slot. I made this purchase with a Samsung EVO 970 1TB drive. Both arrived on time. After a few minutes of installing the drive, I plugged it in and the drive started working immediately. Quick format and I was ready to go. I checked all the slots and everything worked great. I only found one downside: it gets a little warm when the PD slot is in use. I would…

I was able to test and use this USB housing over the weekend. So far so good, my nvme drive's read/write speeds are comparable to other external drives in the same price range, around 1000MB/s write and 900MB/s read. The build quality is good and the many ports work well enough. Now two caveats: 1) the orientation of the SD port is reversed, 2) the hub has a relatively high power requirement when the 100W external PD charging port is not connected; So it doesn't work plug and play on my Carbon…

Just want to say that after a huge disappointment with another USB-C hub, this one really works. SD card reader is very slow, I wish it could be as fast as my USB 3.0 card reader, besides, you can't use TF and SD card at the same time, TF reader needs better design because it's so hard to use it I need something to put it in, so I can't assume there isn't a draw or anything to tell you what the alignment is either. Once you've removed the card, you'll need to disable the hub to use the card…

This device could be perfect, but a few things are preventing it from realizing its full potential. Most annoying is that some ports are crooked. I returned and reordered one unit and the second one also has slightly crooked connections. especially the PD/100W port is a bit crooked. this seems to work, but it's a little worrying. Maybe I was unlucky, but it may not be the case with other units. The next problem is that the write speed on the SSD reaches 600MB (Samsung 980). This isn't a problem

This HUB/SSD enclosure was a valuable upgrade for my laptop. My previous hub stopped working so I bought this one after researching Revain. This i Jam is packed with features. I am very satisfied with this product. Pros: - Provides a UCB-C connection to your computer, freeing up remaining ports on your computer. From that single USB-C connection comes two USB3.1 ports, a full-size SD card slot, a microSD card slot (you can only use one slot at a time, btw), a USB-C PD port that offers up to…
