    Comparison: Internal vs. External 10GbE

    Interesting article: M1 Thunderbolt ports don’t fully support USB 3.1 Gen 2

    I just came across this article from yesterday, which is making my search for an external HDD and SDD enclosure even more complicated. I was just about to order a Sabrent 4-bay enclosure (+ SSD brackets), but now I am not so sure. I don't really need Thunderbolt for my SATA HDDs and SDDs but I...
