JEYI Quad NVMe RAID Enclosure Thunderbolt

JEYI Quad NVMe RAID Enclosure Thunderbolt. And We would like to thank JEYI for making this Video possible! If You need external Storage, this Thunderbolt Enclosure is a Build Your Own RAID Solution! This will be an Unboxing, Inspection, Installation and Test! Test is actually 5 Tests, possibly 6, because We're going to have 4 Drives [JBOD] individually and then We're going to Test those Drives collectively, in RAID. And then Answer 10 Questions.

Unboxing, Inspection, Installation and Test
Package Contents: 6
Device Components: 3
Questions: 10

3 Components
1. Housing
2. Cable Connection
3. Bridge Chip

Questions:
1. Capacity - 8TBs per Drive
2. Software RAID or JBOD; CPU Based RAID vs GPU
3. Speed - 1 PCIe Lane to 1 M.2 NVMe Drive.
4. Can this used with only 1 or 2 Drives? Yes.
5. Can RAID, as configured, be moved to another Computer? With same RAID, Yes.
6. Bridge Chip? Unknown.
7. Heat and Speed. 1 Drive vs. 4 Drives.
8. TRIM support?
9. SMART passthrough?
10. M.2 NVMe Control Panel access

AMD Hybrid Bios RAID does NOT Support TRIM.
Intel RST Hybrid Bios RAID 0 does Support TRIM. RAID 0 only!

To verify TRIM support, from Windows Command prompt, Run as Admin. Type either of the following:
fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify
fsutil fsinfo sectorInfo D:

I definitely appreciate your in depth reviews, no hype or flaky stuff, but very much to the point content. Subscribed!

I ran across a JEYI PCIe Expansion card version to use in my mid-tower. Even if its not super fast it would be a handy software RAID under Windows to protect data. Thanks for a very thorough video.

[jonatasvalerio]

You're amazing showing and communicating on how to do it! Great job!

[courtlandbates]

I love your videos. Very detailed. Well done.

[이철호-bj]

You are always passionate. Thanks. From Korea.

Good morning straight from Brazil!
Thank you for the excellent explanation about the product's capacity!
I bought the same a few minutes ago on Aliexpress and then I came to see your class!
I usually prefer products from another brand, but this other brand doesn't have a storage with this capacity so I bought "in the dark" this brand you presented.
Now it's time to wait for the storage to arrive and see if I can configure its access correctly with my Notebook.

The storage junkie in me just found another fun toy to buy myself.. Thanks!

[romainbailet]

always unique video , you are the sherlock holmes of the motherboard and manual
:p

[johncollins]

You are right with the heat! Also gloves for charge prevention!

[TorBruheim]

Thanks for this great video👍. I have done a lot of searching without results, and finally I want to ask you if a Dual or quad slot m.2 nvme USB 4/Thinderbolt 4 enclosure even exist. Plan to use it on a future MacBook Pro or Mac Studio configured as Raid 1 or even RAID 10..

[erbartlett]

I finally found a used one! You said you would only use this as a transfer drive and not a working drive, any reason why?

[terrygriffin]

For backup data for long term storage, can this possibly be used in windows storage spaces or is the 2 drive options better. I am not worried about speed, but the TBW and the backup/redundancy. If not, can you suggest another feasible solution. Is a synology NAS solution better? Again, I want to stay away from mechanical drives. That is why I am searching for a solution. Thanks for the help. Long time subscriber.

I bought 4 nvme drives thinking I could use this to house them, but now it seems completely unavailable. Are there any alternatives that don't have a fan? I can't seem to find a single one. Passive cooling is very important for my usage of this thing. It seems insane no one else is making something like this

[DudeGuyWho]

Why is the write speed lower when in RAID?

[DavaakhuuG]

[darthvaderful]

Can you hook up the Jeyi enclosure to USB-C or is it requiered to have Thundebolt?

[jebl]

May I put only 3xSSD in this and do RAID 1? And do I need additional software to put the SSDs in RAID on macOS Ventura?

[mqcapps]

Question...when using external m.2 enclosures how long will the data keep as I keep hearing that they loose data over time...how long is "over time".

[surroundrive]

Kurtwood Smith's brother? Love it.

[mrfroopy]

What about RAID 5 on this? Can you test?
