Is The Cheapest 2TB NVMe SSD Any Good? External Storage Build.

Is the cheapest 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD any good? In this video we will be using the Leven M.2 NVMe drive with an external enclosure storage to see how the inexpensive 2 TB drive performs. The drive is the Leven JPS600 2 TB M.2 NVMe SSD, and we pair it with a Qwiizlab Rugged NVMe M.2 enclosure (model ES10UR) to create external storage for a Mac or Win PC. We also look at the complete line of Leven SSD hard drives (both M.2 and 2.5" SSDS) and cover just how much these SSDs sell for. If you are looking for some very inexpensive NVMe storage than watch this video to see how we build a 2TB SSD enclosure that is better than you can buy in the stores.

Here are the products we use in the video:

Those may be inexpensive drives but speed wise they sure put my old 2.5" SSDs to shame. And I kinda like that Qwiizlab enclosure.

How much is performance influenced by the enclosure? In this case is the enclosure hampering the NVME performance or is it the other way around? I've been following you since I bought a refurbished Mac mini 2012, 16Gb ram and 512Gb SSD, and I thank you for all the tips you leave here!

But how does it compare to the KLEVV CRAS C910 which is the same price?

I’m gonna order me one. Thanks for sharing that enclosure. 🔥🔥💯💯💯

So i do not need to worry about it not having dram unless i want to run a os from the drive.
The cheapest 2tb drive i can find in my country is seagate Barracuda. Im thinking of using it for video editing and video storage. Hopefully it works out.

[thesmartdevice]

can you boot the Mac from these drives ?.

[chrisbarnard]

The JS600 is $168 AUD on your link, nowhere near your $79 USD. The exchange rate is not that large

Love your site! I cannot tell you how much you have helped and educated me! Thank. you! Question, I currently have a Late 2013 Imac and planning to upgrade to a Mac mini M2, but need to replace my Time Machine drive on current Mac and am wondering if this NVMe would even work on my current system? I will definitely use this with my new Mac mini when I purchase it.

@craigneidel What cable are you using? Again thanks for the suggestions on the Acasis enclosure as it has been treating me well but now I also need a cheaper 2TB option for a time machine backup for a M1 MBA and this looks like a great one.

So apparently it gets speeds of 24MB/s Write/Read on a 2011 MacBook Pro. 😢 Usb-C to Usb-A cable.

[yaminsiddiqui]

can make a good storage device for transferring pics and videos from my phone directly. Would be more reliable than my thumbdrive

[agondokusumo-]

How reliable are NVME's in terms of how many times you could write stuff into it before failing?

[vasilisfellouzis]

Hi!
Great video!
Will mvme ssd drive work with android?

[mindethereal]

Hello: Of the SSDs you tested, which brand is the most stable and how is the read/write speed and stability of the 990PRO?

[ashaylat]

Thanks! I'm putting it in a cheap laptop

[gamefandrg]

800mb? this ssd is rating at 5, 000 MB, what a waste

[Pomali]

Lol nope, not worth it. Tried one on a steamdeck and the thing didn't even boot

[interstellarconundrum]

Bad product.. Fails not long after use.
