Review on ⚡ Highpoint RocketStor 6661A Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe 3.0 X16 Expansion Chassis: Enhance your system with lightning-fast connectivity! by Andargie Marquez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Thunderbolt 3 speeds expected, not USBc 3.2 speeds

I have this NVMe drive, ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB 3D NAND NVMe Gen3x4 PCIe M.2 2280 SSD R/W 3500/3000MB/s SSD (ASX-8200PNP 1TT-C) in this RocketStor case. This case is associated with a 2020 iMac 8 Core. I used to have this drive in an i7 8700k Hackintosh where the drive had a 3000MB read speed and a 2800MB write speed connected to PCIE 8x. In this case with this drive I get 1222 reads and 762 writes, which is the speed I would expect from USBc 3.2. For the price paid I expected better. I will be returning the case and looking for another way to use this NVMe drive.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Very expensive
