Video Description

This is the fastest external drive for your Mac, period. At over 19,000MB/s or 19GB/s, nothing else comes close on YouTube. This is a three drive Thunderbolt 5 RAID 0 setup, consisting of 3 x ACASIS TB501 Pro 80Gb/s Thunderbolt 5 enclosures, these are the new ones that are PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD compatible. Two of the enclosures are using 2 x 4TB WD_Black SN850X SSDs and the other enclosure is using a 4TB Samsung 9100 Pro SSD. Keep an eye on my channel for my new 8TB ACASIS RAID 0 drive. This is the two drive version of my main ACASIS RAID which is used for speed testing other enclosures and SSDs but this new one uses PCIe Gen 5 Samsung 9100 Pro SSDs. This RAID 0 setup is used to bypass any bottlenecks during my speed test and drive builds, that are usually introduced by the Mac or a single SSD source drive. *Checkout my SSD speed tests & external SSD build guides playlist* https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLleKChtNUwZQvaYS9r0zHvkaTXSYlnX6q *Products shown in this video* If buying from the ACASIS website use my 15% discount promo code DAVID15 ACASIS TB501 Pro (Gen 5) https://geni.us/ACASIS-57 ACASIS TB501 Pro (gen 4) Amazon https://geni.us/ACASIS-100 4TB WD SN850X SSD (Gen 4) https://amzn.to/3U7TqsP 4TB Samsung 9100 Pro (Gen 5) 4TB https://amzn.to/4lpGMke *Some of my product recommendations* *ACASIS Website* If buying from the ACASIS website use my 15% discount promo code DAVID15 ACASIS website https://geni.us/ACASIS-51 SSD enclosures: TB501 Pro Thunderbolt 5 enclosure https://geni.us/ACASIS-57 Mac Mini M4 Workstation enclosure https://geni.us/ACASIS-58 TBU405Pro Thunderbolt 4 enclosure https://geni.us/ACASIS-53 TBU401 Thunderbolt 4 enclosure https://geni.us/ACASIS-54 EC-3901 4 bay Thunderbolt 4 RAID Enclosure https://geni.us/ACASIS-55 All ACASIS SSD Enclosures https://geni.us/ACASIS-56 Docks & hubs: DS9007 21 Port 40Gbps Dock https://geni.us/ACASIS-59 DS-7A15 15 port USB-C dock https://geni.us/ACASIS-60 DS-0202 14 Port USB-C dock https://geni.us/ACASIS-61 All ACASIS Docks and Hubs https://geni.us/ACASIS-62 *ACASIS Amazon* ACASIS Amazon Store https://geni.us/ACASIS-105 SSD enclosures: TB501 Pro Thunderbolt 5 enclosure https://geni.us/ACASIS-100 M4 Mac mini Workstation dock/enclosure https://geni.us/ACASIS-106 TBU405Pro Thunderbolt 4 enclosure https://geni.us/ACASIS-101 TBU401 Thunderbolt 4 enclosure https://geni.us/ACASIS-102 All ACASIS Thunderbolt and USB enclosures https://geni.us/ACASIS-103 *WD_Black SN850X Gen 4 SSD on Amazon* 8TB https://amzn.to/478cVJn 4TB https://amzn.to/3U7TqsP 2TB https://amzn.to/3Hb32jC 1TB https://amzn.to/3He93Mp Other Gen 4 NVMe SSDs https://geni.us/Gen4SSDs *Samsung 9100 Pro PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD* *WARNING - ONLY BUY THIS SSD IF YOU ARE USING THE NEW ACASIS TB501 PRO, WHICH IS COMPATIBLE WITH PCIe GEN 5 NVMe SSDs, OR OTHER GEN 5 COMPATIBLE SSD ENCLOSURES* Samsung Amazon Store https://geni.us/hBdBf 4TB https://amzn.to/4lpGMke 2TB https://amzn.to/413Jjct 1TB https://amzn.to/3JcjW1Z Other Gen 5 NVMe SSDs https://geni.us/7SvmU *Apple Mac Computers on Amazon* Apple Amazon Store https://geni.us/Apple_Amazon_Store MacBook Pro M4 https://geni.us/OLuacfl MacBook Air M4 https://geni.us/x5G9 Mac Mini M4 https://geni.us/yJW1 Mac Studio M4 https://geni.us/V2lDm Mac Studio M3 https://geni.us/7zws iMac M4 https://geni.us/1k4pwp *AMAZON ASSOCIATE DISCLOSURE* I am an Amazon Associate.
