Review on πŸ’» ACASIS USB4.0 M.2 Thunderbolt 3 NVMe Dock: Portable Type-C SSD Reader & Tool-Free Enclosure at 40Gbps by Daniel Hicks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

EXCELLENT speed on Macintosh M1 Mac Mini (2384.4MB/s READ, 1645.3MB/s WRITE) WD750 1TB nvme!

AMAZING speed on Macintosh M1 Mac Mini (2384.4MB/s READ, 1645.3MB/s WRITE) WD750 1TB nvme This "ACASIS update" is AMAZING! The new rubber bushing seems ok and will hopefully hold its shape over the years and heat, but a second spare part was included. and I only used the thicker one, the extra other made it too tight (I think). Attached is a reference photo of an old version of Intel's free AJA set to a test file size of 16 gigabytes and a maximum simulated video frame size. It shows 2384.4MB/s READ, 1645.3MB/s WRITE! THIS IS THE ONLY external Mac M1 case that runs as fast but as many new NVME sticks use 6.8W and this unit also adds some watts but can lie to the Mac m1 for power, new NVME sticks work not at all and most A fast half legacy NVME that works perfectly on the Mac M1 is: WD Black SN750 1TB NVMe Internal Gaming SSD – Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280, 3D NAND – WDS100T3X0Cuse TO SN750, any size. This is NOT a Pro version. You also get 2384.4MB/s READ, 1645.3MB/s WRITE with this ACASIS USB4.0 Mobile M.2 Nvme 40Gb/s enclosure connected with Thunderbolt 3 interface. This is probably the ONLY known non-switchable, non-faulty, ultra-fast external enclosure for the Mac M1. I hope for new models in the future: add an external power supply to enable hot and fast 2021 NVME NVMs on the Mac M1, and also for USB sticks that only have 500 milliamps of juice. In theory, the Apple M1 has a power of 15W. SO HAPPY!

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Exchange availability
