This Thunderbolt 3 Device is Absolutely Amazing, but with some Reservations about many Thunderbolt 3 Devices and their Ability to Work with Windows vs Apple. The NVMe slot is a dream for all Tech savvy users. The Glow Lighting is much more delicate than MOST of the RGB Lighting that has insulted our eyes for years.I have purchased a few TB3 Devices now and have experienced results that are both compelling and appalling with Windows Based PC'S. Finding Software/Firmware that makes these High End Devices work is at Best Obtuse. I Sent my Amazon purchased FireCuda Dock back to the Manufacturer after they could not troubleshoot it over the phone nor even remotely. They said they would replace it but suggested that MSI (my new notebook- Prestige 15 )had updated firmware for TB3.
I had already spent innumerable Hours with MSI, Seagate and Intel.I had earlier sent my Notebook back to MSI together with a smaller TB3 External NVMe SSD and they said it worked fine after resetting Windows (which I had done 3 times myself - with no positive result)
My Daughters Macbook Pro 2020 recognised this device.The New Firmware does not work. I need help right now , like the Luke's Graham Song.

The 500GB model is 5000MB/s read and 2500MB/s write

Reviewed in Australia on 15 October 2021

The ad for the 500 gb stated "maximum sequential read and write speeds up to 5000MB/s and 4400MB/s". Not correct, write is only 2500MB/s. A Samsung Pro 500GB is 6900 5000

Capacity: 4 TBStyle Name: Gaming DockVerified Purchase

This is a great looking piece of gear and works flawlessly. I have a 2TB nvme installed in the m.2 expansion slot and the read/write speeds are fantastic. The included 4TB HDD is slower - but on par with other good quality external HDD"s I have used. I use the Gaming Dock HDD as a general purpose backup drive and the added nvme as fast working space for photo editing. This is not just a gaming dock!!! Highly recommended.

Capacity: 2 TBStyle Name: External Gaming Drive PS5Verified Purchase

So good to have an extra 2TB of ps4 games. I use this on my PS5 and it works perfectly normal, just a tad bit slower than when running the game on the ps5’s SSD, but totally understandable and still fast enough.
