Yup.

Was planning on using it as a power efficient file server / Plex.

Only two TB3/USB 4 ports so buying one of these will occupy 50% of available TB3 ports now.

Seems like out of the gate these are skimping on the ports. Sad, if it had 4 TB ports it may not be such an issue, but with 2? At least they kept the USB-A ports...

10gbe really should have been an option. Really dissapointed
