⚡ Highpoint RocketStor 6661A Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe 3.0 X16 Expansion Chassis: Enhance your system with lightning-fast connectivity! Review

Cardless chassis does not require macOS Catalina driver detection. Runs quietly but not silently as it has two 40mm fans. Reliable and simple design. Running macOS Catalina version 10.15.6 over Micron 9300 MAX 6.4TB U.2 SSD on my iMac (Retina 5K 27-inch 2017) Intel Core i5 Quad-Core 3.4GHz over Highpoint Expansion Chassis RocketStor 6661A Thunderbolt 3 - PCIe 3.0 X16 and StarTech .com U.2 - PCIe - x4 PCIe - Adapter for 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSD - SFF-8639 PCIe Adapter - U.2 SSD - PCIe SSD - U. 2 hard…

Cons. - The latest driver does not work on Mac OS 10.14, it is not possible to load the driver of the old version. Now the driver only works on 10.15 (with the latest 10.15 update, the first version of 10.15 does not work) - Not on hardware RAID (this is not mentioned in the specification and description). Since this is not hardware RAID, using RAID 1 will reduce speed by 50%. Pay attention to the speed limit on TB3 and TB2, using RAID1 on TB2 is very slow. When using RAID 1 on TB3, the speed…

I have this NVMe drive, ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB 3D NAND NVMe Gen3x4 PCIe M.2 2280 SSD R/W 3500/3000MB/s SSD (ASX-8200PNP 1TT-C) in this RocketStor case. This case is associated with a 2020 iMac 8 Core. I used to have this drive in an i7 8700k Hackintosh where the drive had a 3000MB read speed and a 2800MB write speed connected to PCIE 8x. In this case with this drive I get 1222 reads and 762 writes, which is the speed I would expect from USBc 3.2. For the price paid I expected better. I will…

The case itself is very high quality. The fans run at very low speeds and may have trouble cooling the card. The first device immediately blocked my machine when I plugged it in. The second worked, but then I had trouble getting the drivers. The link posted in the documentation didn't work, but I found the drivers elsewhere. The devices would intermittently disconnect, causing the card to squeak. Ironically, tape drives performed better than hard drives on a SAS controller because they are not…

Your PCI card is housed in a thick, heavy aluminum case with well-finished surface and excellent heat dissipation. One of the things I can't believe is the fan design. The two small fans are mounted on an internal metal frame rather than on the inner surface of the outer case. This can make the installation less error-prone, but there is a side benefit. it turns the body into a resonant box (think cellos). The noise then gets louder, like a powerful CPU fan running at full speed, with an even…

This is an overview of an enclosure to which you can add a PCIe card of your choice. For example, I use it for my Myricom SFP+ 10GbE NIC. In order for the PCIe card you choose to work, it must support Thunderbolt and consume no more than 45W. Two internal fans keep the card cool (many competing products only use one fan), and the case is roomy enough to fit cards up to 8.2 inches long at full height. Power Macs of the 2010 era. There's a standard PCIe (x4 3.0) open slot and enough space between

Installation:* 27" iMac 5k with TB2 connectors.* HighPoint RocketStor 6661A* Third-party PCIe NVME adapter* USB 3.0 All-in-One NVME and 1TB SSD (for APFS Fusion) Some Pros: Quiet or no fans Reliable construction Easy to get into the unit Unobtrusive No crazy vibrations (I don't like fan or drive vibration) Cons: No power button (outer chassis) are always not widely used yet and the info there only focuses on the graphics. The one on NVME didn't cover that info. Now on to the TL user experience;
