    I'm looking to pick up a Atomos Ninja V and I stumbled upon the Lunchbox II. Thanks for the breakdown! This video sold me on it.

    Thanks for this fantastic video, Jared. I just oredered 3 of these kits with 1 & 2 TB Samsung drives. I wanted to let folks know that they have GREATLY improved the included screwdriver. It also has a magnetic tip. Speaking of tips, if you are using these Samsung drives, repurpose the tray it came in as a mini work area, this way, you won't lose those tiny screws.

    Funny enough, I am watching this video haven stripped the supplied torx driver. I wish I watched this in more detail before ordering the Lunchbox as I would have ordered the T5 Torx driver at the same time. All good, got one a day later and now putting this all together. Thanks for making the video.

    Hi! Are You not afraid of not using any kind of static protection during procedure? As it was safe inside of the drive's box, then outside it's quite fragile and vulnerable to any short circuit for those low voltage components on the board. Going further with this point of view - is it safe to use it direct to the metal plates? How about it conduction? From the side of thermopad it looks secured, but from the other one? Thanks in advance for a reply ;)

    The andycine doesn't connect to the ninja sata connector flush like the atomx ssd mini does. It leaves something like a 5mm gap, when the ssd mini leaves a 1mm gap

    Am I the only person who's wondering, if Andycine know the dimensions of the Samsung SSD board and can machine a unit for it to fit perfectly, why on earth can't the thermal pads be pre-cut to fit?? I don't understand why they supply rectangular pads that have to be cut down to size... 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Easier to mass produce a fixed size versus have a machine precision cut to be the exact size of the ssd size. If you cut it down the middle, you literally have about 1mm of extra length on the long end that does not effect the mounting inside the Lunchbox

    The product description says only the 1TB and 2TB models are supported, I have a stack of 4TB drives so was wondering the same. I found some photos online that show the reason, the board is a different shape. On the part that sticks out towards the bottom right on the one shown here, it is about twice the size to accommodate 2 more of the square black storage chips (which makes sense assuming each IC is 1TB on a dual sided PCB, 1TB and 2TB would occupy the same footprint, while 3TB and 4TB would be roughly twice the physical size) all that being said, I would love andycine to make a model compatible with the 4TB drives!
