    I would like to see real world testing with USB 5Gb and USB 10Gb against TB3. Probably my bias but I am not convinced that Firewire 2 (TB3) is worth it.

    It's much faster for random access - just compare the results with the benchmarks for Samsung T5, which is 3.1g2.

    First of all calling TB3 Firewire 2 is insane.

    1. TB3 is 100% compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 2
    2. TB3 is PCIe in USB-C style cable. Means that it can do much more than
    3. Firewire is over 2 decades old and they had later generations but went nowhere
    4. Primay issue is Firewire is not compatible with USB but TB3 is compatible and more

    Have check the latest (today) performance comparision with USB C Gen 2 and TB3 - in most sitiutions TB3 is between 2 to 3 times faster tyhan USB Gen 2 - which is about twice as fast as Gen 1. Take a look at Anandtech own review on Pluggable USB 3 gen drive for comparisons to this drive

    Price is still higher but Intel has release controller specs so one day price should go down.

    100% compatible is that computer with TB3 port will support USB C device - but this does not mean that TB3 device will run on USB-C device. I believe there is device controller that supports this that is new or coming.

    It would have been nice to see at least some of the tests used in the full SN750 review used here so a true comparison of native vs TB3 could be made.

    You know, I have to admit, it does look a lot more appealing when you put it in an enclosure that looks kind of like a 2.5" drive...
