Have you encountered issues using the RTL9210B to need to update the firmware? The firmware contained in that package is for the RTL9210 chipset and may not be compatible with the RTL9210B, so be careful. Once downloaded, launch UTHSB_MPtool_Lite and, without clicking on "Update Device", go to "Dump" > "Show Device Info" and on the bottom you can see the firmware version. In order to know the version of the installed firmware, you can use the MPTool contained in the above package.
Anker mptool driver#
But a failed CDI recognition is not a good reason to change a driver that works correctly.Ģ) it is not relevant what is reported in device manager that is picked up from the cfg file attached to the firmware. I had similar CrystalDiskInfo failed recognition for a M.2 SATA depending on the sata/ahci controller driver (in XP). Maybe there's a connection somewhere and that's why it doesn't worked for me either.Īre there other guys around here who have tested this chip on a macbook and can share some experiences?Ĭlick to expand.1) I don't think it depends on the enclosure but on something else. On this forum (after google translated the page in english) - i read that the "not standby" version for JMS583 would be recommended for Apple systems. I hope that apart from draining the battery faster there will be no other extra problems. Now when it enters sleep mode, the chip stays permanently on. So, considering that the idle function doesn't work at all for me, I decided to cancel it permanently. After my macbook enters sleep mode the chip (&led) shut down & after it wakes up the chipset force disconnects. i have the same problem as with the "safely remove" command that doesn't shut down the led.ģ.
Anker mptool windows#
The idle feature works (the led shut down) after 1 minute only in Windows OS but on my macOS it doesn't work.

I had successfully upgraded to firmware v1.20.12. Tried with all three RTL9210 pcb of mine on two different motherboards and in 4 Windows OS: same behavior. The led remains always ON even if the OS gives the message "The device can be safely remove". So I think the RTL9210B chipset has some issues with firmware v1.21.10.Īnother confirmed problem for the RTL9210 chipset is that the "safely remove" command doesn't work.
Anker mptool series#
No problem detected repeating the same 4 test series on another RTL9210 pcb with firmware v1.21.17 connected to the Asmedia PCIEx card using the 10GBps data cable with a USB A to USB C adapter. I have also to report that during the tests the RTL9210B chipset suddenly disconnected twice in 4 attempts for both USB controller (Intel and Asmedia). Regarding the performance, I don't see the real winner as the two chipsets are also equivalent in terms of heat emissions (which instead I assumed had to be lower for the RTL9210B).

Here the better results than the previous with the Intel USB controller (temperatures measured as before): Here the results (temperatures measured by CrystalDiskinfo at the end of four consecutive tests):įor other two test series I plugged the enclosure to the USB 3.2 Gen.2x2 of the Asmedia PCIEx to USB C card (ASM3242 chipset) using a Thunderbolt3 cable. Unfortunately to change it I would have to downgrade the firmware, not a great idea.Īs I hoped it was, in the M2PJM-C3 enclosure it is also possible to perfectly fit the JMS583 pcb I already have so I was able to compare the two chipsets by trying them under the same conditions.įor the first two series of 4 consecutive tests, I plugged the enclosure to the USB 3.2 Gen.2 port (10 GBps) on my motherboard (Intel's USB controller) using a USB type C to USB type A cable. The firmware installed is the version 1.21.10 with a stand-by mode set to 10 minutes. M2PJM-C3) finally arrived after almost 3 months from the placed order.
