Sure, we must find a way to make NVME SSD work with pocket 4k!
The enclosure you tested should be one with
Jmicron JMS583 chipset.
The only other chipset I know exists now for NVME Gen2 SSD is the
ASM2362 USB 3.1 Gen2 to PCIe NVMe SSD chip

https://www.anandtech.com/show/13510/my ... dge-reviewBut, the speed I was referring above of 500MB/s is related to the USB-C Gen1 port, even using a NVME SSD: you can't go over it.
Instead, if you connect a SSD NVME with enclosure USB-C Gen2 to a USB-C Gen2 port on a pc/mac, it COULD go lot faster, reaching quite above 900MB/s!

https://www.anandtech.com/show/13510/my ... e-review/2The problem is, some pc chipset that is *declared* USB-C Gen2, in reality cannot reach that speed and it lowers to quite a Gen1 one or similar... weird.
Like here:
https://www.pcworld.com/article/3058320 ... ld-be.htmlAt that time (2016), you can find 3.1 at 593MB/s, the best was 770MB/s in write, now (2018) you can see it can reach 913MB/s.
So to sum it up:
recording will have no benefit,
copying to a USB-C Gen1 pc, still no benefit
copying to a USB-C Gen2 pc, you COULD have great benefit (half time copy), IF:
1) the pc uses good chipset to reach the 900MB/s of the Gen2
2) if the copy is made to another internal NVME SSD... no luck with single Sata SSD or worst on HDD. Only very faster media, like lot of HDD in Raid, or NVME SSD
In every case I will found useful using this setup, it's a pity if we cannot use these NVME SSD on P4K!
