  Little pro-tip - I got a Corsair drive and tried putting it in external enclosure to copy to it, that didn’t work.

  These small Nvme drives are dram-less, so they borrow some memory from the host system. All of these drives have a fallback mode when they can’t borrow host memory, which is slower. Apparently, the fallback mode is so well programmed that drive can crash during large write sessions.

  It worked just fine once I put the new drive inside the Deck, and pulled data from the old drive sitting in the enclosure instead.
