Product Information

I have been unsuccessful in getting support from Dell on installing this, so I am turning to the community for help. Yeah, thats pretty similar to the bench I did in the enclosure. Though for time I limited the run to 3 instead of 5. You can only mount two M2's in a 5820/7820. I think the 7920 can handle 4. I don't have a 7920 to look at. I actually did a bunch cause it I was a bit bored at work. I did a Sandisk Extreme 64GB, Sandisk Ultra Flare 32GB, Samsung EVO 850 1TB 2.5", Intel SSD Pro 2500 256GB SATA too.

The items to be concerned about are Stability & Heat. I have found that the one ASM2362 chipset runs significantly cooler than the JMT chipsets.

There is an updated storage driver (IRST F6) to include PCIE support. (to enable Windows to recognize the drive during installation): This enclosure is also the fastest of the bunch, but only by about 15-20MB/s pure sequential with large files. All enclosures had nearly the same speeds. Enough that I wouldn't care one way or the other about it. You are limited to about 1050MB/s read & write for sequential files. M3X3 screw(most computers include these. These secure the Y1WJX M.2 drive carrier, or a 2.5" drive into 745TM) The drive you install (Samsung EVO, Intel 760p, etc....) has more impact on the speed than the enclosure does.I've got a Shinestar NVMe enclosure, but it tops out around 1GB and I know these drives go faster when plugged directly into an M2 slot. I'm aware and wishing all our systems had TB3. My home machine is a MacPro with TB2, and my work laptop is a 2018 MacBook Pro. In addition my Parallels VM running Crystalmark. Even in a VM that is the fastest drive I have. The PCIe drive in the MBP is crazy fast. I think the randoms take a hit because of the VM acting as an interface layer. NOTE:Even though Dell Hosted Images have USB3 drivers slip streamed in, they may not include the IRST driver (also known as the F6 driver). As a result, the IRST driver must be applied manually during the Windows install process.
