Sure, it&#8217;s not PCIe 4.0 NVMe speeds, but given that all other docks available in this form factor max out at 770 MB\/s, and that Thunderbolt 3\/4 is 5 GB\/s, this is great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also checked some of the data in system report.

Nothing else comes close speed-wise.  Yes it&#8217;s pricey.  Yes, it&#8217;s not a big brand name in North America.  But they did the right thing with PCIe lane allocation, which hasn&#8217;t happened with OWC, Satechi or anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s really no point in buying a dock with NVMe if it won&#8217;t ever be able to run much faster than a good SATA SSD (I hope OWC, Satechi, Hagibis, AGPTEK, Qwizlab and others are paying attention).  Buy this dock if you need NVMe storage.  I can&#8217;t speak to longevity yet, but my initial rating: 5 out of 5 stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.trebleet.com\/product-page\/mac-mini-thunderbolt-3-dock-with-nvme-sata-slot-cfexpress-card-slot-gray I received this on August 25, 2022.
