- Anyway Apple are hiding something because my MacBook Pro SSD write speed is 10.4Gb/s but using it on Thunderbolt Target mode (on the Mid 2011 iMac) I only get 3Gb/s - slower than the internal Crucial SSD which registers 3.59Gb/s.
- Thunderbolt 3 is just Apple's version compatible with USB-C. It should be OK although it probably won't be as fast - especially if it's some specialty external SSD. I've heard of some external drives come with USB-C to USB-micro-B drive cables in the box.
