Ha! Been running these for years on both linux and windows (on lenovo x1 laptops). Using cheap chinese thunderbolt-to-nvme adapters + nvme-to-pcie boards + mellanox cx4 cards (recently got one cx5 and a solarflare x2).

10gig can saturate full speed, 25G in my experience rarely reaches same 20G as the author observed.
