Manufacturers often neglect to push updates automatically, so take the initiative. Check your firmware version today. If it is more than six months old, visit your enclosure vendor's support page. A five-minute flash operation could double your sustained write speeds and eliminate those mysterious disconnects.

Introduction: The Bridge Between NVMe and USB In the modern era of high-speed external storage, the bottleneck has shifted from the NAND flash itself to the interface bridging it to your computer. Enter the ASMedia ASM2364 – a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to PCIe NVMe bridge controller. Capable of 20 Gbps theoretical bandwidth (twice that of the common 10 Gbps controllers like the ASM2362 or Realtek RTL9210), this chip promises to unlock the full potential of mid-range and even high-end NVMe SSDs.
