Gregory's Serveri'm not getting very encouraging benchmark results out of it though. that Kingston drive is supposed to perform at well over 200 MB/s for sequential read/write and this is a USB 3.0 enclosure, but it's not performing as expected...

the idea of doing this in the first place? well, the drive that originally sat in that enclosure was the boot drive for my RPi4. it was massively oversized for it and as a laptop drive, it probably isn't the most robust thing, so i figured i'd replace it with an SSD. yeah, i'm not really getting good performance out of this at all. it's even appears to be slightly worse on Linux where it can use the UAS (USB-attached SCSI) driver, which would ordinarily improve performance. whatever USB-attached SATA enclosure i end up getting for my NAS, it's critical that it can actually saturate the USB 3.0 bus. SATA III and USB 3.0 both max out at about 600 MB/s. i still don't know if the RPi4 can handle a saturated USB 3.0 bus. |
it starts out kind of okay at 100+ MB/s for writes, but slows down pretty rapidly after writing for a while.
