and i cannot see why anyone would use it. that's like tie together your network card, key board, mouse and monitor to a storage?
Any heating issue?
Is the NVME upgradeable to 4TB?
Great for hooking a steamdeck/ally/claw/etc up to a tv and adding some game storage, basically pointless for most people though

One interesting use case for this is the ability to use a M.2 (PCIe) to full size PCIe for GPU, 10Gbe, external SAS controller, video capture card, etc.

Another nice feature is that this has upstream & downstream TB3 ports so you can daisy chain, with the caveat that the downstream port is 1/2 the bandwidth but still much faster than USB3.2.
The drive included in the 1tb and 2tb are Western Digital SN730 (OEM SN750). They are not the fastest drives and they do run on the hot side.
The 1tb is probably the best value if you consider the dock itself is $79... that puts the 1tb drive at $50. If you bump up to the 2tb the additional cost of the drive is $120, or $60/tb which isn't great for this particular drive.
This is sold and fulfilled by Western Digital and they're using UPS shipping. I ordered a pair of empty D50 on the 6th... they didn't physically get handed over to UPS until yesterday and UPS ground has an ETA of June 14th. Pretty terrible fulfillment/shipping speed IMHO, so keep that in mind.
Thunderbolt 3 has been terribly overpriced from inception but for the right use case it is very useful. $80 for the empty dock is much cheaper than any alternative and the 2tb version was $679 at launch, to put the price drop over time into perspective.
