Does Apple silicon not support thunderbolt pcie enclosures? I’ve been running dual port connect-x 25gbe adaptors via TB3 on my hades canyon nucs for years. Where is the teardown of this thing

They’re showing it running and talking about the limitation on bandwidth a lot.

I’m with Robert. I don’t like the fan but I like the 22G NIC and really you under discussed the 2nd port and being able to dual 10G.

It doesn’t add up because you simply can’t saturate both ports concurrently. The point is that you can use one link at near-full-speed (PCIe speeds are somewhere around 22-24Gbps on the JHL8440 chipset, although I don’t know what this is using) and can have the other one also connected to something. But saturating both links at the same time won’t work.

My main concern is the fan. I had docks with fans before (Dell TB16 and WD19TB) and even the latter, which was fairly quiet, used to annoy me in a quiet room at home. I don’t think it would be an issue in an office environment, but I’m not getting anything with a fan for home use.

how does it work to supply 2x 25Gbit/s if Thunderbolt 3 only comes with 40 GBit/s

Somehow this does not add up

Nah. USB type-A ports are going to be around for a while. I would rather see them on a dock than on a NUC or Mac Mini where space is limited.
