I'm looking primarily at the Highpoint SSD 7104 (the fan-less 7101-A1). Would appreciate some advice before I make some NVMe purchases. Not sure which of these NVME controllers it is, but think it is one of the x2 one: Vendor Name: Kensington Computer Products Group Vendor Name: Guangzhou JEYI Information Technology CO., LTD I have no use for the capacity given the number of drives in my RAID 0 stripe array, but I started buying higher capacity blades just because they have larger SLC caches.ĭomain UUID: 40645F84-4600-1250-88CB-7B3D297E2DCF So no point paying for faster enclosures. Hoping only having half the PCIe 3.0 lanes doesn't matter once I plugin to my Mac Pro 6,1 since it can only do PCIe 2.0 x 4 anyway. Haven't tried them on my Mac Pro 6,1 yet but they are doing 992.5 MB/s write and 1,444.9 MB/s read on a Macbook Pro 2019. Then I bought a bunch of cheap used Sabrent NVME Thunderbolt 3 enclosures that no one wants because they only do PCIe 3.0 x2 instead of x4 like almost every other enclosure on the market. Personally, I grabbed up a bunch of cheap used, 1TB, non-Q, Sabrent Rocket 3's for my array since no one wants them with the Rocket 4's out. One may be exceeding any SLC cache these blades have, if any, whereas the other isn't. So it's not impossible to find performant 256GB blades. Meanwhile my Samsung PM981 256GB sticks are doing 1,516 MB/s write, 3,488 MB/s read each on CrystalDiskMark on my Windows 10 machine. So even though this is a Thunderbolt 2 Mac Pro 6,1 it is capable of more than the SX8200 Pro is giving it. Meanwhile my 1TB Rocket 4 Plus in the JEYI enclosure does 1,217.8 MB/s write and 1287.7 MB/s read.
