FAQ
Q1: What is the maximum transfer speed of the TX001M1?
A1: The TX001M1 delivers up to 80Gbps connection speed via Thunderbolt 5 host interface. Real-world transfer speeds depend on the installed M.2 NVMe SSD's own performance, with high-end Gen4 NVMe drives capable of saturating 6,000+ MB/s sustained throughput.
Q2: Can OEM customers customize the pre-installed SSD?
A2:Yes. While standard SKUs ship with our default high-performance NVMe SSD, OEM customers can request custom configurations including alternate SSD brands and specific NVMe controllers. SATA M.2 drives are not supported. Contact our sales team for tested compatibility lists.
Q3: Is the TX001M1 backward compatible with older Thunderbolt versions?
A3: Yes. The TX001M1 is fully backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 hosts, automatically negotiating the highest supported speed for each connection. Note: The TX001M1 is designed exclusively for Thunderbolt hosts and does not operate over USB-only ports.
Q4: Does the TX001M1 require any drivers or software?
A4: No. The TX001M1 is plug-and-play across Windows 10/11, macOS, and Linux on systems with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, or Thunderbolt 3 ports. No driver installation is required.

A5: Yes. PURPLELEC offers full OEM/ODM customization including private label, custom logo printing, color matching, packaging design, and bundled accessory configuration. Contact our sales team for samples and project-based pricing.
Q6: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for OEM/ODM orders?
A6: MOQ is flexible for first-time partners and varies based on customization scope. We support small-batch sample orders for evaluation and offer tiered volume pricing for established distributor partnerships. Please contact our sales team for specific quotations.
Q7: What certifications does the TX001M1 carry?
A7: The TX001M1 platform is Intel Thunderbolt 5 Certified and supports FCC, CE, RoHS, and REACH by default. Additional regional certifications (e.g., PSE for Japan, KC for Korea, BIS for India) can be added based on your target market requirements.
Q8: How does the TX001M1 handle heat during sustained high-speed transfers?
A8: The full aluminum CNC chassis acts as a passive heatsink across the entire surface, ensuring stable sustained performance without thermal throttling during prolonged transfer workloads. No active cooling is required.
Q9: What capacities are available for the TX001M1?
A9: The TX001M1 ships pre-configured with a built-in NVMe SSD in two capacity options — 1TB and 2TB — ready for distributor and retail channels with no separate SSD sourcing required. Custom capacities and SSD brand selection are available for OEM orders. Contact our sales team for full configuration options.
