If you’ve wondered about the Thunderbolt 3 vs. the USB 4 external SSD on your M1 Mac, and whether there’s a difference, then this review video may answer some questions to help you make that buying decision. I recently did a video on editing on the fastest external SSD for on the M1 Mac, and this is a follow up to that video where I compare the Thunderbolt 3 NVMe enclosure to the USB 4 NVMe enclosure.

There are some synthetic benchmarks, but I also provide you with some additional testing where I export a multi-camera 4K timeline on each of these drives. In addition, all cables are certified Thunderbolt cables, and I've even tried these enclosures with an active Thunderbolt cable. Be sure to note my “alert” on the USB 4 enclosure and my buying experience.

I also meant to share the temps on these drives during export:
4K Export: TB3 with the SN750: 48.5C/119.3F on the SSD, and 31.2C/88.1F with the case/top on.
4K Export:  USB4 with the SN750: 52.1C/125.7F on the SSD, and 35.6C/96F with the case/top on.
4K Export: USB4 with Silicon Power: 61.5C/142.7F on the SSD, and 32.3C/89.9 with the case/top on.

Transfer ~160GB of data: TB3 with Silicon Power 73.6C/164.4F on the SSD, and 37.5C/99.5F with the case/top on. The USB4 with SN750 temps during transfer 66.2C/151F on the SSD, and 36.5C/97.7F
