Yikes. Can see why it's $39. There are TB3 Intel 10th Gen Macs still getting macOS Sonoma updates today. It can't even work with those?
Also reviewers say it overheats with Samsung 990.
As much as I love USB4, we really need chipsets that don't overheat on this stuff. And just work.
This strictly a USB4 devices. So don't expect it to work as a Thunderbolt on older devices that only support TB3.
Mac System Profiler shows it 40Gbps and I ran Black Magic on it. I was getting 2,900 MB/Sec. Which is inline with some Thunderbolt 3/4 enclosures which gets me 2,900-3,500 depending on NVME.
But I have to say, "boy is this thing thiccc." It is bigger than my TB3/TB4 and usb-c enclosures. The top heat sink is a nice touch.
No disconnect so far as I am plugging this directly in (not through a hub/dock) and it is supplying full power.

It's possible older Intel Macs are also compatible... simply because the TB3-USB4 interop is largely a security chain that only Intel-badged Windows uses. (Even Boot Camp doesn't enforce).
Hopefully someone buys one with an older TB3 Intel Mac and tests.
