To use the full speed of a top of the line NVMe SSD, you need Thunderbolt 3, 40Gb/sec = 5000MB/sec. Using an online converter, 10Gb/sec = 1250MB/sec, which is less half of the 2800+MB/sec of the best NVMe SSDs. Thunderbolt 2.10Gb/sec (gigabits since it is lower case) The fast SSD is 2800MBs.that is megabytes (note capital B, if lower case it would be megabits) You have to keep your units straight, including capitalization. Thunderbold 2 supports 10 gbs data transfer, so it should easily be able to transfer and not slow down a current fast SSD, like 2880 or 3500 mb/s. Please correct me if I am not doing the math correctly. My plans are to buy a new MAC when the latest chip iMac is available, so it will be awhile. At present my computer (2013 Mac Pro) only has Thunderbold 2. I'm considered buying a fast (over 2800 mbs) external SSD combatible with Thunderbolt 3, for use with a future computer.
