When It Works, When It Fails – ACASIS 501 Pro Thunderbolt 5 Tested
Tech awesomeness!
The ACASIS TB501 Pro Thunderbolt 5 enclosure can allow up to 6,000MB/s speeds for your data — but does it deliver? In this video, we test it with multiple NVMe drives on both Mac M4 and Windows systems to see when it works... and when it definitely doesn’t. 🔗 Check it out at
With a slick all-metal build, passive/active cooling, and Thunderbolt/USB-C support, the ACASIS 501 Pro looks like a winner—but quirks like tool-less covers, rubber stoppers, and questionable Windows performance might make it a mixed bag. Watch now and see if this Thunderbolt 5 enclosure is ready for your workflow or still stuck in beta mode.
