Hello everyone,

I've encountered an issue with write speed on my Mac mini 2018 when using a UGREEN 40 Gbit/s enclosure with a Crucial P3 Plus NVMe under Proxmox. Despite a Thunderbolt connection, the speed doesn't exceed 30 MB/s, whereas when I plug the same device into USB-C, I achieve write speeds of around 1 Gbit/s.

I've checked the BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure Thunderbolt is enabled, and I've installed `bolt` to manage Thunderbolt devices under Proxmox. However, the issue persists.

Here's the complete error log I get when trying to access the Thunderbolt device:

I seek your assistance in resolving this issue and achieving the maximum speed offered by the Thunderbolt device. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has suggestions for resolving it, I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Thank you in advance for your help!
