If I use this in a Thunderbolt 2 Chassis ...

If I use this in a Thunderbolt 2 Chassis connected (via TB2) to a computer's TB2 port, will there actually be a performance upgrade from 20GB/s to 40GB/s or will the TB2 connection bottleneck with a max 20GB/s throughput?
Asked by: Daniel
There will be a bottle neck at the T2 connection.
