Re: Thunderbolt 3/USB-c vs USB 3 speeds

What SSDs are you currently using? That write speed is quite low. You should be seeing almost parity with read/write speeds even via USB3.

I just recently upgraded to a new Mac Mini so still using Samsung SATA SSDs in USB3 enclosures as prior to the new Mini, I was using a 2012 Mini. On the older Mini, I was getting almost parity on read/write. Eventually I’ll move to NVME drives now that I have 4 x TB3 ports.

But yeah, those speeds seem low.
