Since palagi tayong nag-debuild ng PC dito sa channel, alam nyo naman yan, bakit hindi ulit tayo mag-build?
00:06.4
Pero sa ngayon, hindi PC ang i-de-DIY natin, kundi isang external SSD.
00:13.3
This is the ASUS TUF Gaming A1 USB 3.2 Gen 2 SSD and Closure.
00:22.0
Itong device na to ay kayang gawing external storage ang iyong M.2 SSD
00:27.0
na may mabilis na data rate, durability, at compatibility.
00:31.3
Pero bago tayo mapunta sa detalya na yan, roll mo muna ang aming intro.
00:40.0
Ano nga ba muna ang M.2 SSD?
00:42.5
Ang M.2 SSDs ay isang type ng solid state drive na sobrang liit at malipis pero mabilis at powerful.
00:50.4
Ganito ang itsura niya.
00:52.0
Usually, naka-install ito sa loob ng mga laptops o kaya sa desktops
00:55.7
na kung saan sila ay nakakapagbigay ng mabilis na pag-boot ng PC
00:59.7
and smoothness ng system performance overall.
01:03.2
Pero syempre, minsan gusto mo itong gamitin as external storage.
01:07.7
For example, gusto mo mag-backup ng data mo, transfer files between devices,
01:11.7
expand your storage capacity, or tulad ng use case namin na Steam Drive sya.
01:17.7
Actually, mas gamit namin sya sa video editing kasi madami kaming mga birol-birol.
01:21.7
Diyan na mo paasok itong ASUS TUF Gaming A1 External Drive and Closure.
01:26.7
Gagawin itong external storage device ang internal storage hardware mo na NVMe SSD
01:32.7
na pa pwede mo na syang makonect sa kahit anong USB port.
01:37.2
Meron syang rugged and stylish design and amenitari-inspired na itsura.
01:42.2
May IP68 protection rating sya, though syempre, hindi pa rin sya scratch-resistant.
01:47.7
May mga dents pa nga rin dito kasi medyo nagamit na namin ito.
01:51.7
Meron syang white LED indicator dito sa taas na pinapakita niya ang kanyang drive activity.
01:57.7
Parang yung sa PC mo lang pag-gayong nagbibling-bling na ganun.
02:00.2
Itong enclosure na to ay may support pareha sa SATA and NVMe M.2 SSDs
02:05.7
na may form factors na 2242, 2260, and yung pinakakomun na form factor na 2280.
02:13.2
Maximum of 2TB of capacity ang kaya na itong ihold.
02:17.2
Meron syang USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 x 1 port which offers up to 10Gbps transfer speed
02:23.7
na mas mabilis sa mga pre-built na external SSDs sa market tulad na ito.
02:28.2
Pero be mindful sa ilalagay mong M.2 SSD since supported pa din ito
02:33.2
ang M.2 SATA SSD na may maximum speed lang ng up to 6Gbps.
02:39.7
Sobrang dali lang i-assemble nitong external SSD enclosure na to.
02:43.7
Una, kailangan mo muna tanggalin yung backplate niya using the allen key na included sa box.
02:49.2
Makikita mo dito na may thermal pad na syang pre-installed.
02:52.7
Ang hindi lang laki pre-installed dito syempre yung mismong M.2 SSD.
02:57.2
Sold separately ang body.
02:59.2
Ang selfie ko dito is the Samsung 980 Pro 1TB NBME Gen 4 SSD.
03:04.7
Meron itong Q latch mechanism that holds the drive in place
03:08.2
nang hindi mo kailangan gumamit ng screwdriver
03:11.2
tapos removable din sya depende sa form factor ng M.2 SSD na ilalagay mo.
03:16.7
So pag naslide mo na yung drive sa slot, push down the latch, tapos na sya.
03:20.7
At pwede mo lang isarado ang backplate niya.
03:23.7
Sobrang easy lang at convenient diba?
03:26.2
Para sa kanyang performance, I connected it sa laptop
03:29.2
gamit yung USB C to C cable na included sa kanya.
03:32.7
And nagpatakbo ako ng CrystalDisk Mark 8 na benchmarking tool.
03:37.2
May result sya na 1037.68 MB per second na sequential read.
03:42.7
And 1029.17 MB per second naman na sequential write.
03:48.2
Overkill actually ang Samsung 980 Pro SSD para dito
03:51.7
since makukuha din natin yung speed na yun sa NBME na Gen 3.
03:56.7
Limited lang kasi talaga yung actual na bilis nito sa USB protocol bandwidth na meron ito.
04:02.2
Which is ang meron nito is USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 1.
04:06.2
And yung 10 Gbps.
04:08.2
So don't expect na same ang magiging performance niya sa M.2 SSD
04:12.7
na direct ang nakakabit sa NBME slot ng mga motherboard.
04:16.7
Nalala pagka Gen 4.
04:17.7
Pero kung titignan mo tong enclosure na to,
04:19.7
nakakapag-deliver talaga sya ng impressive na performance.
04:23.7
Actually, sobrang labi sa talaga ng speed niya sa maximum speed ng USB C port.
04:27.7
Which is mas mabilis talaga sa ibang external SSDs.
04:31.2
Sa real-world performance naman niya,
04:33.2
nag-transfer ako ng 47.4 GB na file.
04:37.2
And for some reason,
04:38.7
bumaba sya ng 100 plus MB per second na lang sa kaduluduluhan ng pag-transfer niya.
04:44.7
Tapos ang ganda din ang idle temps niya.
04:47.2
34 degrees Celsius lang sya.
04:49.2
Then pag sobrang busy niya,
04:50.7
umakabot lang sya ng 45 degrees Celsius.
04:53.7
Which is, nagkagawa ka lang i-maintain yung speed niya for a longer time.
04:57.2
Tapos, hindi pa nakakapasok yung enclosure pagka hinawakan mo na sya.
05:01.2
Ang pinaka-downside lang na experience ko dito sa enclosure na to
05:04.2
is masyado syang bulky and heavy.
05:07.2
Compared sa ibang external SSDs.
05:09.2
Tulad niya na ito.
05:10.7
Meron kasi itong 125 x 54 x 13 mm in dimensions.
05:15.7
Tsaka, 142 grams ang bigat niya.
05:18.7
Which is, hindi ganang kapaket-friendly.
05:20.7
Pero, it is very understandable naman,
05:23.2
given its durability and ruggedness.
05:26.2
Kumbaga, kahit solid yung tunog pag bumagsak to,
05:29.2
hindi pa din makakarap yung mga peso.
05:31.2
Iba kasi gumagalaw yung ano eh.
05:33.2
Pagkayang bumagsak sya.
05:36.2
Overall, sa tingin ko,
05:37.2
itong ASUS TUF Gaming A1 External Drive Enclosure
05:41.2
is magandang option para sa inyo
05:43.2
na nagkakanap ng mabilis at matibay na enclosure
05:46.7
para sa MBME SSDs nyo.
05:49.2
Easy installation, high reliability, and fast performance.
05:53.2
Check yan lahat sa kanya.
05:55.2
Kailangan mo nga nang i-consider ang size and weight niya.
05:58.2
And syempre, yung price niya.
06:00.2
Kasi mara kang bumili ng another 1TB eh.
06:03.2
Justifiable naman sya,
06:04.2
since meron kang peace of mind when it comes to protection.
06:07.2
At tatagal talaga sya.
