[8 x 6.7 x 1.4"] This cable works with all types of U.2 drives when connected to a slim line SAS connector on the motherboard, HBA, or RAID card. It is universally compatible with Highpoint HBAs, other HBAs, or direct connection to the CPU. Speeds on the drives I have connected using this cable meet their full advertised speed.

[1x Fan] I had the 8 bay TB2 and it worked super. Needed to upgrade and went for the 12 bay. It too works super. Hardware Raid is amazing. Nothing seems to slow it down. It maintains top level transfer speeds no matter what I am doing. It NEVER dips...consistent to drawer performance.

[8 x 6.7 x 1.4"] Excellent value for money. I use it in the case for external ssd to iPhone 16 to record 4k 120 fps log, everything works without problems

[8 x 6.7 x 1.4"] I have tested about 8 different drives for the Lenovo Legion Go and none have managed their thermals as well as this drive. Its speeds are great, and being a single sided NVME it is perfect the the Legion Go and I would think any other application that focuses on 2242 size drives. I will be buying more of these soon.

[0.605 lb] Bought two of these for our Blackmagic Design Ursa Mini 12K cameras. They worked great. VERY sturdy and well made. Very fast transfer speeds. They get a little warm when under heavy load but all drives do so this can't be counted against them. If you need crazy speed (3400MB/s) this is the drive for you.

[1x Fan] Very happy with this SSD so far! I'm using it in a Raspberry Pi 5 with M.2 HAT and I haven't had any issues so far. (Yes, using this particular SSD is probably overkill!)

[Low Profile] I had old 8-bay ARC-8050 (a Thunderbolt [v1]) unit from Areca. While it kept the data that I needed, during the Mac OSX BigSur shutdown it usually timed out when I wrote something to it. I wanted to change to a higher capacity and a new Thunderbolt 3 device. I got it shipped quickly directly from a third party. I checked the order of drives in the old 8-bay ARC-8050 (top one is drive #1, bottom one is drive #8); checked the order of drives in the new 12-bay Areca unit (top left is #1, top right is #6, bottom right is #12); placed drive #1 from the old unit into drive #1 in the new one, .. etc. Connected the new unit to my Mac, booted Mac and... my drive appeared... Very and painless transfer... The new unit is very fast: write is about 1600 MB/s, read about 700 MB/s (that's 8 10TB drives configured as RAID 6 [60TB disk] with about only 4TB free on disk). I'll add more drives when I have the money :-)

[0.605 lb] Used this ssd to upgrade my lenovo legion go and for me is giving great performance and also great operation temperature 62°C playing games like ghost of tsushima (with pretty decent on the demand of resources). I bought from Mexico, so you can buy with confidence, the shipment arrived in 7 business days.

[1x Fan] SSD7101A-1 is a great card. I installed 4x Samsung 970 EVO+ to be used for rendering and I get 13,000 MB/s.

A motherboard with 16x lanes is best for performance. It does come with a RAID software.

[0.605 lb] Is ideal for the Steam Deck since it is one of the only form factors that fits. Unfortunately, you're going to pay for that privilege because the vendor knows they are one of the only form factors that fits.


Valve's heat shield is a little snug so rather than trying to slide it over like a sock, just remove the adhesive and apply like a bandaid.
