I kind of wish I could force the SSD to thermal throttle more aggressively to avoid shut downs in extreme cases. However, you need to be careful if you’re going to write a lot of data to the drive in a short period of time. For normal use like playing games, browsing the web, the SSD temps are never unusual. The new SSD is double-sided it fits perfectly in the Ayaneo 2 but obviously there’s no room for a heat sink and not great airflow. With the new drive working, I started installing some games from steam, over a TB, as a kind of stress test aaaand it made the device restart twice. Using this method I did then have to expand a partition to use more than 1TB of the drive, since it copied everything exactly from the previous drive, but that was no problem. Cloning the old 1TB to the 4TB drive took about 45 minutes but worked immediately (booted into windows) when using the new SSD internally. Gave fake info except a secondary email address to get the necessary key. I eventually decided to try a different cloning software, so I tried Macrium, which was sketchy because they wanted your name, job title, job address, phone number, etc to get the free trial. Attempts to clone the drive again failed. Basically the only way to get into windows was to use the old SSD internally. I tried booting from the new drive internally and externally, and I even tried booting from the old drive in the external enclosure, and that didn’t work either.
I tried changing the setting for cloning the drive for use in this machine and in another machine, and at first both of these cloned successfully, but I couldn’t boot from the drive in either case. I started with cloning the drive with Acronis True Image and basically it didn’t work. I bought the 4TB WD SN850X because it’s very fast and it was 40% off on Amazon and I bought a $20 sabrent enclosure to put it in. Bought the 16GB+1TB ayaneo 2 with the intention to buy a 2 or 4 TB SSD and put the old SSD in an external enclosure for use with other devices.
