AMZPILOT Rugged NVMe USB 10Gbps External Enclosure and Linux

“What? Another one?”

Yes, but this one is better!

Despite being unheard of, the Qwiizlab and HAGIBIS NVMe enclosures have turned out to be fantastic devices for fast, external 10Gbps USB storage using NVMe SSDs. They breathe new life into unused Gen3/Gen4 NVMe devices that might be collecting dust from past computer builds. I needed another enclosure and decided to try a different brand with a blue color to help distinguish among them.

Is this one any good? Indeed it is, and here are my benchmarks and waterproof testing results.

The Crucial P3 4TB NVMe Used as External Storage with Linux

“Can we take an NVMe SSD and use it as an external storage device?”

Yes! To test this idea, I obtained an NVMe with a massive amount of storage space (on a reasonable budget) and installed it in an external M.2 NVMe enclosure designed for rugged use.

It works perfectly, and here are my benchmarks in Linux when tested unencrypted and with VeraCrypt to see how performance would be affected.
