The Envoy Express supports sustained data transfer rates of up to 1553 MB/s and has an integrated 10.2-inch Thunderbolt 3 cable.

M.2 NVMe SSDs are usually around 3,400MB/s for reads and 3,000MB/s for writes.The Envoy Express supports sustained data transfer rates of up to 1553 MB/s and has an integrated 10.2-inch Thunderbolt 3 cable.
Shouldn't Thunderbolt 3 be able to reach those speeds?
Hell... you can now get USB 3.2 drives that are at least 1,000MB/s... so this Thunderbolt drive doesn't seem too impressive.
EDIT: And the user above me agrees! :p
My intel MBP isn’t going to magically upgrade itself to Apple Silicon. :)A perfect time for Mac users to be buying Intel Thunderbolt accessories!
