I'm using this egpu with a 16" i9 MacBook Pro with an AMD igpu running windows 11. (Won't work booting into OSX due to apple/nvidia drivers not existing).
I was reading forums, expecting lots of issues but this really is plug and play. I can cold boot, hotplug, run external and internal displays at the same time. Really does work flawlessly.
Also, I use this as a thunderbolt hub and have mounted a 1TB Ssd into the enclosure so I get the best of both worlds, a portable machine that transforms into a fairly powerful desktop.
The actual enclosure is lovely and all metal. Temps seem good so airflow seems to be great.
