Using the term twice the bandwidth is playing with fire. This is not a Thunderbolt 5 dock.

I guess I'm not sure what else you'd call it, considering it literally uses two Thunderbolt host ports, and two thunderbolt controllers in the dock.

But you would have to use two thunderbolt ports on the Mac. And those ports would have to be independent. The last Mac with independent ports I have seen is a Mac mini Intel. Each CPU on KVM would only be giving you 40 Gb per second.

Fundamentally, because of how Apple Silicon handles Thunderbolt I/O, all Thunderbolt ports on Apple Silicon Macs have independent bandwidth, and aren't on a timer. This is probably why the company says this dock only works on Apple Silicon.

So you can get up to 80 Gib if you use both ports. I wonder if anyone did some testing on the real speed you get.
