Wonder if it's a sleep/low power issue/setting on the disconnect.

To be honest, by defenition a NVMe drive doesn't support SATA (e stands for pci express), but M.2 connector can carry SATA signals in addition to NVME.

Originally posted by ypnos View PostYou are misinformed. There are NVME drives that do not support SATA (I have one, from Samsung)
more importantly, there are M.2 ports that do not support SATA as well (typically secondary M.2 ports on desktop mainboards).
Also, as the benchmark shows, the NVME PCIe speed is not "diminished by the abstraction of USB" at all. NVME PCIe 4x is 36 GBit/s, SATA does 6 GBit/s!

Wow, it's nice to see that there's practically no performance hit when using a (this) USB drive. It's good for those who don't have a SATA port to spare.
But keep in mind guys, USB is a shared bus, while the (e)SATA ports individually provide up to 6Gbps bandwidth

Originally posted by schmidtbag View PostHuh? The product tested in this article does; the SSD tested in the article is an NVMe drive. To my knowledge, all NVMe drives also support SATA. If you want something that'll benefit from the extra performance of an NVMe drive's PCIe lanes, I think the overhead and abstraction of USB would diminish those returns.

USB 3.1 is quite frankly the first iteration of USB that doesn't suck ass at storage. It only took what, 23 years to get here. yay?
v1.x was serial port replacement. v2.0 was stupid slow, no reason to use it over firewire. v3.0 gained some speed, but still limited performance and functionality due to garbage storage protocols (MSC/UMS/MTP), and the 3.0 micro connector used by storage devices was fragile trash. Finally with USB 3.1, we have full SCSI command set (UASP) and we have a decent connector (type C). Honestly, if USB didn't have the major backing of intel, it never would have took off.Last edited by torsionbar28; 25 March 2019, 02:38 PM.
