This is another product where I seriously wonder which artist wrote this product description. It is a hard drive that also serves as a HUB. The idea itself is good, but I don't really understand the use of it. Actually, the question is quickly answered - the hard disk cannot be faster than the connections. If an SSD is installed, which I really have to assume at this price, the read and write rate is around 550Mbit/s because they are connected via SATA III. A maximum of 40GBit/s can be transferred via the Thunderbolt 3 connection. I recommend a conventional external SSD to save money. If you have a laptop with Thunderbolt 3 and a conventional hard drive is still installed or it is too small, I would replace the hard drive beforehand rather than inverting it here. But that's just my opinion ;)

According to my information, a 3.5" 4TB HDD is pre-installed (model not yet known). The gaming dock can also be expanded with an M.2 NVMe SSD. I don't have any transfer rates yet, and Seagate doesn't give any information on this (at the moment). However, I assume that with Thunderbolt 3, the maximum speed or at least this comes very close to the stated speed of the respective data carrier. It is best to wait for the first reviews.
