RIHAO USB4 SSD Enclosure + HP FX900Pro 2TB SSD: A Simple Unboxing and Review
The RIHAO R40 Max USB4 enclosure and HP FX900Pro 2TB SSD were tested as an external Mac Mini boot drive to avoid costly Apple storage upgrades. The enclosure uses the ASM2464PD controller, while the SSD features 2GB DRAM cache and an InnoGrit IG5236 controller. However, the SSD’s 5.6mm thickness prevented proper fitting. In-enclosure speeds reached roughly 3.2GB/s read/write with acceptable thermals.
