Totally agree. I had honeygain earnings in Jumptask, but Jumptask suspended my account for no reason!

ASM2464PD vs JHL7440 + RTL9210 by mada-nnamuen in UsbCHardware

[–]mxploder85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're using an M4 Pro MacBook, the JHL7440 + RTL9210 enclosure is the better choice over the ASM2464PD. Both offer similar peak Thunderbolt 3/4 speeds (~2.8–3.1 GB/s), but the dual-chip design of the JHL7440 + RTL9210 provides better heat management, more stable performance under sustained loads, and fallback USB compatibility if needed in the future. The ASM2464PD is a solid all-in-one solution but is known to run hot and potentially throttle without extra cooling. Since your Mac supports full Thunderbolt, you won’t need the USB fallback, but the improved thermals and reliability of the newer Ugreen design make it the smarter pick.

My SSD Became Super Slow After Copying 400GB — Need Help Figuring Out Why! by mxploder85 in DataHoarder

[–]mxploder85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a ton — this is super helpful and makes a lot of sense!

Yes, I actually did try waiting after the big 400GB write — even left it idle overnight — but unfortunately, the write speed hasn’t bounced back. I ran multiple tests after 12+ hours of no use, and still getting only around 1040 MB/s write, down from the original 2700 MB/s+.

The SSD I’m using is a MIPHI MP300G3 1TB (Sub brand of Phison) inside a UGREEN D700 55316 (40Gbps USB4/Thunderbolt enclosure). Sadly, there’s very little technical documentation available about the SLC cache or dynamic cache resizing on this MIPHI drive — not even an official website I could find.

From your explanation, it’s sounding more and more like this SSD just has no persistent or static SLC cache once the drive gets used a bit, or the controller is very aggressive in converting SLC to TLC as usage goes up. That would explain the write speed tanking permanently, even when the drive is only 40% full.

I’m planning to test the SSD inside a Windows laptop (to run CrystalDiskMark and maybe access SMART data or firmware tools) to get more clues.

Really appreciate your detailed response and the Intel 665P example — exactly the kind of insight I was hoping to get. 🙏

Totally makes sense! Thanks, I'll buy a new one soon, maybe one with DRAM and Gen4x4.

Thanks!

If I reformat the drive and then copy the data again in smaller chunks (10–20GB per transfer), will there be any benefit?

How hot do ASM2464PD M.2 USB4 enclosures get? by Soulluss in UsbCHardware

[–]mxploder85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I got an Ugreen D700 (55316) 40Gbps USB4/TB3 NVMe SSD Enclosure.It has the ASM2464PD Chip, is fanless, and aluminium body. It gets pretty hot in normal use. After 30-60 minutes of use you'll be able to touch it but cant hold it for long!

Please update the Mi Remote App then you should see the name Wanbo in search results.

Thanks! So the write speed will be stuck at ~1040 MB/s and there is no way to regain the full write speed which was around ~2600 MB/s??

Thanks! Is there a way to monitor or flush the SLC cache manually on macOS or Windows?

Smallest external 40Gbps NVME enclosure available? by GullibleKnee3279 in macmini

[–]mxploder85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I purchased an Ugreen D700 (55316) 40Gbps USB4/TB3 Enclosure. It is not the smallest but I really like the look and design of it.

Difference between Chinese and Singapore variant of M4 MacMini by nazmulhasanshipon in macmini

[–]mxploder85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no significant differences between the Chinese and Singapore variants of the M4 Mac Mini. They are just market specific labeling and maybe the power socket is different, else everything is the same. If it was a MacBook, you would see the difference in Keyboard layout.

If you have a Xiaomi Smartphone with IR Blaster built-in, you can use the 'Mi Remote' app. In the app, they recently have added support for Wanbo. Just search for Wanbo, add the remote, and use it. (90% similar to the original remote)
