Lightning-Fast Thunderbolt Mini SAS!

This mini-SAS is a life-saver for any computer! The high-speed Thunderbolt connection allows for lightning-fast data transfer and the MSAS2 interface ensures maximum compatibility with other computer components... The compact design makes it easy to install and the durability ensures it will last for MANY years. The only downside is the price; it's a bit on the expensive side compared to other internal components, but the performance boost is worth it..

Pros
  • High transfer speeds with Thunderbolt connectivity
Cons
  • Somewhat expensive compared to other storage solutions

Thunderbolt 3 speeds expected, no 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 / 3000 MB/s SSD ( ASX8200PNP-1TT-C) in this RocketStor chassis. This case is associated with the 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…

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
