![]() Where Thunderbolt shines is when you are connecting multiple SSD to your Mac, or when you just have to squeeze the last drop of performance out of an external SSD that uses a SATA interface. As you can see that while the speed available via USB 3 is slightly lower than SATA III it is not that great a loss, especially when you consider the cost difference between a USB single drive enclosure, and a equivalent Thunderbolt enclosures. While not directly germane to the Mac mini question here, it does show the speeds obtainable from a Samsung 850 EVO connected to the Mac's PCIe bus through a SATA III interface. The last one references a PCIe SATA card for the Mac Pro. I thought I would post this set of article since there seems to be some confusion about interfaces and the speeds available from them.
