Why does this SSD not work with the Icy Box IB-1817M-C31? Both are supposed to support M.2 Key M?
Because I have the same problem, under Windows the IcyBox is recognised but the SSD cannot be initialised. It also does not work in the DELL XPS 15-9560. Is the product defective or have I overlooked something in the compatibility?
So the SSD now works in my DELL XPS-15 9560, I had to switch the SSD to AHCI in the BIOS and then it worked. I had to update the firmware of the Icy Box IB-1817M-C31 so that at least my 2T "Samsung SSD 970 EVO" was recognised and worked. The firmware is available at suppoort IcyBox.de. I have not tested whether the Kingston FURY Renegade works after the firmware update.
At home it works every other time. I don't understand it. Icy Box IB-1817M-C31 also. I returned a Renegade Fury 2T because of this problem. Hardware error.
I wrote to icy box support about this some time ago and received the following reply: External enclosures are limited by the 5W limit of the USB 3 interface. i.e. the installed SSD must be able to cope with the 5W. It would also not work on a Usb3 with 30+W power supply, as the enclosure does not support this. enclosure does not support this. (probably with all ext enclosure manufacturers). ... however, there are now affordable 4TB external SSDs that work, e.g. the Samsung T7 shield, which I use as an external ssd instead.
The renegates have more write: 500GB - 50mW idle / 0.34W average / 2.7W (max) read / 4.1W (max) write. 1TB - 50mW idle / 0.33W average / 2.8W (MAX) read / 6.3W (MAX) write 2TB - 50mW idle / 0.36W average / 2.8W (MAX) read / 9.9W (MAX) write 4TB - 50mW idle / 0.36W average / 2.7W (MAX) read / 10.2W (MAX) write
Since I also had problems with the Kingston Fury Renegade 1 TB in the Sandberg NVMe Enclosure in November 2022 (SSD reported a fatal hardware device error), it was exchanged for a new one by Digitec as a DOA. I now bought the Icy-box IB-1817M-C31 enclosure. Now I read here about these other problems. I have had enough now and will not open the second Kingston Fury Renegade and will return the icy-box IB-1817M-C31 (unopened) as well as the Sandberg NVMe Enclosure. I just don't feel like this never-ending tinkering.
