Better than I was expecting.About 65Gbps between M4 Max MBP and M4 Pro mini
Many thanks.About 65Gbps between M4 Max MBP and M4 Pro mini
Oh I was just posting Alex Ziskind‘s short test video, that wasn’t done by me. You can perhaps ask him directly on alternate test perimeters.Many thanks.
In a test like this, isn't the transfer rate limited by the speed of internal SSD?
Could you mount and use a RAM Disk on both computers instead of the SSD and repeat the test?
Could you do a test with bi-directional data transfer at the same time?

I wonder what people would use Thunderbolt for if it had PCIe 6.0 x4 instead of just 4.0? Some companies like Sonnet Tech have external PCIe enclosures. Wouldn't mind seeing Macs able to use higher end PCIe cards & newer M.2 cards at their full (or at least fuller) potential.Unless someone makes a Thunderbolt 5 (or USB4 v2) peripheral controller that is not limited to PCIe 4.0 x4 downstream.
For Thunderbolt 5 120Gbps (15 GBps), PCIe gen 5 x4, gen 4 x8, or gen 3 x16 would be sufficient.I wonder what people would use Thunderbolt for if it had PCIe 6.0 x4 instead of just 4.0?
