thunderbolt 3

The standard cables that come packaged with eGPU enclosures are not long enough. At 0.8m at their longest, short cables make using an eGPU unwieldy and inconvenient. For that reason, I made this video comparing six of the popular brands of active, two-meter long Thunderbolt 3 cables. I compare...

OWC ThunderBay 4 RAID 4-Bay Storage Enclosure with Dual Thunderbolt 3 Ports cost almost $230 less expansive compared to Terramaster D5 Thunderbolt 3. Besides extra 5th drive in Terramaster D5, is there any other difference. Is there another better enclosure that support RAID 3.

Like the title says, I’m looking for a decent TB3 enclosure for a Sabrent 1TB NVMe pci-e 3.0 ssd. It’s a one sided model and has both writing and reading speeds over 3000 mb/s. I’ve already checked the forum but most of the topics were from previous years. The comments on Amazon are also...

Just picked up the Caldigit TS3 Plus after having it on my radar for awhile. Amazon had a pretty enticing deal on it that made me pull the trigger. I have two of the older LG UltraFine 4K displays (the 21.5 inch ones) that both work as normal. Unfortunately, I have yet to be successful in having...

The "Infamous" External SSD (solid state drive) Thunderbolt 3 (Thunderbolt 3 cable, & SSD 4 TB storage drive) Hi Everyone! Well, I did some research for my MacBook Air 2019. I have been looking for some external Drives...but not just whatever external drive.... I been doing some research...

Hi, so far I was running a Mac Mini 2018 (i7, 32GB, Mojave 10.14.6) with an LG 5k monitor without any issues. Since the UI performance was a bit choppy, I added a Blackmagic eGPU (580x) today. The Mini is connected via Thunderbolt to the eGPU and the eGPU is connected via Thunderbolt to the LG...

I have recently purchased a Dynamode (8 in 1 hub) to use my quite old Samsung SymcMaster 21" external display. It is connected to my hub via DVI-HDMI cable. It has 2 types of SD cards, 3 USB 3.1, 1 Ethernet up to 1 Gbit, HDMI and USB-C power port. As soon as I connect hub to MacBook the...

Hi everyone. Thanks in advanced for any guidance you might be able to provide me. Context. I have am OWC Thunderbay 4 (USB-C) connected directly to the USB-C port in my 2018 MacBookPro 15. Problem. When I send the computer into 'sleep' mode, although the drives will go to sleep, the unit...

I have an external monitor for my iMac. I am looking for a new one. The way that this display wakes over displayport is incredibly obnoxious. I'll walk up to my iMac, hit a key to wake the screen up, and by the time my Watch has unlocked my computer, the external display has just gotten its...

Im buying the new LG 24" screen and I was wondering if I get a HDMI to USB C / TB3 cable will the screen work ok with my Macbook Pro 2015 15" or should i get mini display port TB2 to TB3 cable instead?

Hi all, My second post today...can you tell I’ve just bought a new computer! My question is: Will a single USB C/Thunderbolt 3 port on the 2018 Mac Mini provide enough power for 4 standard USB external hard drives (WD My Passport types) through an UNPOWERED USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 hub? Or...

Hi long time silent reader, never asked a question yet so i hope you will be lenient :) Due to Security Issues (Thunderclap) we need to disable all Thunderbolt interfaces except the DP Connection. Background: iMac (Late 2015), MacOs 10.14.5 Currently there is a secondary Apple Display...

Victim: 2016 MacBook Pro (13,2), 2.9 GHz, 8GB, 256GB, 10.14.1, (4x) Thunderbolt 3 ports Crime: About a month ago my wife started complaining that her computer wasn't charging like its supposed to. I looked at it for a few minutes and got it to charge but didn't think much of it beyond that. The...

Just wanted to share (and hopefully this shows up in Google because I was looking for this topic for a while until I decided to finally make a video) - upgrading the Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box power supply works. Went from 350watts + RX 580 to an Enermax 550 watt (sfx) PSU + Vega 56.

Apologies if this info is already out there somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it. Is it reasonable to assume that the iMac Pro, which can run two external 5K displays, will support two connected Pro Display HDRs, one for each Thunderbolt 3 bus? Does anyone have any concrete info on this?

Hi! I’m an IT guy running the single Mac system in a network of 8000 Windows machines. Currently my office has my MacBook Pro (with a Wacom interactive display beside it as the second monitor, which is too dim to use regularly), which I use for 90% of my work, but I also have a number of...

Has anybody done tests on multiple 2019 Mac minis with thunderbolt 3 networked up to something like the OWC Thunderblade I would love to see speed tests done from either AJA or Blackmagic speed test with both full thunderbolt connections to multiple Macs or 10gbe network. Also based on this can...

I'd like to understand if the Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Express Dock HD (https://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F4U095/), using its DisplayPort port, would be compatible with a Lenovo DisplayPort to Dual DisplayPort adapter (https://support.lenovo.com/hn/en/solutions/pd027227) that would be connected to 2...

Hi there. So I have a Mid-2017 27-inch iMac, which has two Thunderbolt USB-C ports. I have two external Full HD monitors. Those monitors have HDMI or VGA input (they're very cheap), so I have two USB-C to HDMI cables, one for each monitor, plugged in each of the Thunderbolt/USB-C ports. Now I...

Hey guys, Here are the specs of my iMac: iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB It is still a pretty capable machine (just annoyed by the black fogginess on the bottom of the screen), but I made the mistake...
