Disclosure - In principle, I do not think DAS is good solution to general bulk storage - especially in Linux. I think that using NAS would be more appropriate for bulk storage in your case - unless you need to host multiple fast/local storage VMs on your laptop or fast SQL DB, or similar. I

My point was - Thunder bolt is maximum of 4 pcie3 lanes. It cannot supply enough bandwidth to saturate more than single, not to mention four 4x PCIe3 - striped 16GB array of NVMe is likely to cost multiple thousands $$. There is even less point spending 2x of that on pcie4 NVMe solution. ...

If you are using full bells and whistles 40Gb TB3 you are limited to 4 shared PCI lanes for all the NVMe's in the enclosure. Given the price and the purpose of these PCIe storage arrays, it seems to make sense to have them on PCIe 16x cards otherwise you cannot access them at their native speeds
