Anyone wanting to use this (or other TB3) should stick with the cable they come with or be prepared to waste time and money on cables greater than 2m. I just got a TB3 dock and I've purchased various...

Because it looks similar to the one you bought before, it is a bad deal? If you bought a 500GB a couple years ago at $99, the only way was if is was HDD and not an SSD. It also wouldn't have been...

This is a really good deal. People aren't understanding that Thunderbolt 3 is different from USB 3.1 Gen 1 or 2.

It does, random read/write cycles and overhead/delay.
TB3 cables can only work a certain length without a repeater and delay.
You really need read up :lmao:

Thanks for the defence. I think most USB Type-C cables can be used for Thunderbolt, but cable length and active vs passive signalling alter the maximum speed of the connected device.

Are you trolling? They have external GPU running off of Thunderbolt 3.

Thunderbolt 3 is up to 40Gbps over a Thunderbolt 3 port, which uses a USB Type-C connector. It is *not* a USB 3 device. This is a Thunderbolt 3 device.

You clearly are uninformed about Thunderbolt 3 and how it is extending 4 PCIe lanes from the host machine to the device. It is completely reasonable to expect performance as listed. Considering a GTX...

You would need a 960/970, the newer sandisk/western digital nvme to take advantage of this speed. Otherwise you will be cap at your desktop/laptop internal drive. So no go for most people at this...

This is Thunderbolt 3 and runs at 2.8GB/s read and 1.1GB/s write speeds. That's about 10x faster than SATA III drives which tend to run around 300MB/s read and 100MB/s write.
