I don't recommend putting electronics in water to then connect to an electric source.But is it Rugged and can stand immersion in water?

New product ought to have a 6TB option available, it is 2025.
I like the OWC TB5 Envoy but I despise the integrated cable. That is a point of wear and failure, and being able to choose your specific cable length can be important. Also drives without integrated cables are more portable and require less fuss to pack. The OWC has also been shown to throttle back to 1500MB/s after writing 50GB to its cache.
One would need a 6TB SSD first. It doesn't exist. 4TB then 8TB. No 6TB.New product ought to have a 6TB option available, it is 2025.
It sounds like the ioDyne Pro Data is for you then.
It even supports PCIe tunneling and has four upstream TB connections for faster speeds. You can buy it in 12TB, 24TB or 48TB.
Fact, but how do the non-DIY TB4 and TB5 external drives handle the heat then? I was playing with a TB4 enclosure and yes -- the enclosure gets really hot (it's doing it's job as a heatsink). Where does the heat go on these retail drives? Are they not burning hot?Most don't handle heat well, Acasis included (the fan model too). They heat up even at idle.
Having said that, wouldn't get an overpriced LaCie either. Hopefully Samsung steps up with a good one.
Yes, I am aware but the person was asking for expensive high capacity options and they exist. It will probably get updated to TB5 at some point.TB4 only, half the speed of the TB5 enclosure. Not sure how common it is to have 6 people within 6f(2m) of the enclosure that all need access to the same time.
From memory, the LaCie Little Big Disk is the only brand of drive that ever failed for me. Before Seagate acquired them. Never bought another LaCie product, and never will. Most of my drives are Seagate, however. Never had any issues with them. Some compatibility bus issues with Western Digital, so avoid them too.Lacie is always being premium and also unreasonably expensive.
I wonder the same thing too, and the only logical answer is they throttle speeds when they hit peak operating temperature. The reason for fans in enclosures is for sustained performance. But that doesn't seem to be this LaCie drive's purpose. Doesn't this seem more like a device for a backpack that is designed to quickly move huge photoshoots and drone videos?Fact, but how do the non-DIY TB4 and TB5 external drives handle the heat then?

To be honest, seems like an industry-wide issue with Thunderbolt. True that the enclosure getting hot means is doing its job, but doesn't seem enough in some cases. Thunderbolt's bandwidth is amazing but also present these kind of challenging issues, which one would expect to be resolved for the premium price.Fact, but how do the non-DIY TB4 and TB5 external drives handle the heat then?

Are you a time traveller from the future? I can't even find a 16TB M2 NVMe SSD now, let alone a few years ago. Where are you finding them and what are the prices like?why being so conservative? we should have all the way up to 16TB! 16TB option on m.2 nvme ssd is released a few years ago
Where that comes from?
OWC also has the Envoy Ultra, which is the product you should be comparing 😅OWC has a 4TB SSD at the same price as the new 4TB LaCie SSD, but which "only" supports USB4 instead of TB5.
Is there some spec I should be considering to understand why the OWC can justify the same price as the LaCie?
I'll rephrase my question.
How are the prices of less capable SSDs being justified?
A better case in point:
LaCie 4TB Thunderbolt 3 SSD at over $1000, vs the article's
LaCie 4TB Thunderbolt 5 SSD at $600?

I believe it is called the “not paying attention tax”.I'll rephrase my question.
