NVMe

[allex89]

Hello all,

 

I am looking to buy an external enclosure so I can use NVMe drives.

 

Any suggestions.

 

Note: I live in Europe

look for enclosures/adapters that has a JMS583 or ASM2362 controller in it.

(for future reference when there's updates or more entrants to the NVMe to USB bridge ICs: look into the item description for things like "works with NVMe (only)" when you seach for "USB to NVMe adapter" or "USB M.2 adapter")

Any links to products

not sure about the retailers in your area (sorry ,_,), but look up MyDigitalSSD M2X in Amazon or wherever

 

US link for reference: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HCPCMKN/

Those are 2 of the drive I am trying to read

yeah both are NVMe sticks. should work off the bat if the stickers are to be trusted (although what's that Union Memory thing o_o first time seeing a brand like that)

 

the MyDigitalSSD M.2 reader i mentioned just now should look something like this. where do you usually shop online?

Amazon( Germany UK France etc.) I usually avoid Ebay or Ali-express

hmm there's one on Amazon UK (although they're shipping from the US side)

there are (more) other options for other compatible m.2 adapters, but if you're not too hot on off-brand or no-label stuff (I know how that feels, LOL) then the above should be your best bet

 

okay at least I know the sticks work (especially the chinese one)

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
