Thanks Stephen for your video. Lot of useful info. Many of us are trying to sort all this out to see what works best. One thing though is perhaps this hub works well initially, but it has some pretty bad reviews, many about the hub failing after a while. Just bought the same iPhone 15 Pro Max you have. 512GB. Cox Cable is setting up a mobile service. And they've been offering a $500 discount on new iPhone 15s, varoius models, to use the service for a least 2 months before they'll unlock the phone. Wanted a 1TB one too but it wasn't available. Offer expires tonight. I bought mine for $899 vs $1399 plus more tax from Apple. Too good of a deal to pass up. :)

I bought this exact set-up and it worked great on my initial tests. I got the Selore M.2 SATA NGFF USB hub and the Samsung 2TB 980 Pro 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD. Then the next time I fired it up, I got the red exclamation point hovering on my iPhone record button and it stopped recording. I'm using the BlackMagic app, iPhone 15 pro max. The drive was formatted to APSF. I tried reformatting the drive to EXFat and that didn't help. I'm also powering the hub with a 65W Anker power bank. The ProRes 4k 422 clip dropped frames or would just stop recording after 20 seconds. Now every time I just plug the drive's enclosure into my iPhone I get some sort of error. It sounds like I may have gotten a bad enclosure, as I don't think just plugging the Selore into the phone and getting an error would be the fault of the 980 pro without even spinning up. I was just about to take it out on an important job, so glad I re-tested. I'll try getting another of the same hub and hope it was just a bad hub on the first try, because I really want to like this setup, vs a separate T7 drive and a hub.

That’s unfortunate. If you connect to a Mac is the drive still accessible?

@@beardfm Yes, it loaded up and I was able to do a transfer on and off the drive. I decided to take the SSD out of the Selore and just try it on the phone as a hub only with a T7. I added a power bank to power it and it wouldn't connect, so that's telling me that something probably died in the Selore hub. I re-ordered another setup of the Selore hub and SSD to mix and match and use it to troubleshoot. I'll if it works again, that'll tell me where it went wrong. In the meantime, I'm using a 10gb UGreen hub and the T7 and it's working perfectly. I just loved your solution of a faster drive inside a hub, and consolidating the setup and wires when putting together a full phone cage setup. I'd also love to test that hub and SSD to edit the ProRes footage in FCPX. Thanks again,(love your channel and content!) I'll let you know what I find out.

Once the drive pulls more than 4 watts, the phone won’t see it. So yes, powering the hub will provide the extra power needed for the drive to work so the phone can record to it. Please, let me know how this went for you. I want to know how hot your WD BLACK SN770 runs- does it get warm? Hot? Too hot to touch or it runs reasonably cool? Also, are you able to record without it dropping frame? I want to buy a 2TB drive and I’m not settled between the SN770, the SN850X and the Samsung 098 or the 990.
