That USB naming scheme stays pretty jarring. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. Who thought that would work?

0:13 "flashdicks" 0:16 wink and frown :D Well played, Linus. Well played.

1:05 The price of the SSD is not what I'm shocked at. It's the +$119.77 shipping.

Thunderbolt 3 be like: *I AM SPEED*

Thunderbolt's biggest advantage: easy names USB should look, take notes, learn, and apply

...did Linus just say "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2" without complaining?!

You can hear the hint of disappointment in his voice when he had to say "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2"

"...and the bumper guard will keep your drive protected on the go." _footage shows someone removing the bumper guard_

Me: yes My bank account: Am I a joke to you

That drive you recommended sounds cool... Aaannnnddd it's $500 so there goes that

4 walls a roof, faucet, Food, Love & Madrinas Coffee!

These are the ones I like: short, interesting and keeping as objective as you can, even if it might threatened sponsorship (!).

Thunderbolt 3 are great for egpu. It really helps the case if your gaming laptop has an aging gpu.

Hey linus thank you for your time we really appreciate these videos

Linus, your staff didn't do enough research for this episode, you forgot a few things, TB3 encapsulates USB inside the connector so you can connect any USB device provided you have the right cable for it on that port, for devices that have 2x TB3 ports, you can daisy chain up to 6 devices and up to 100W of power, You can have multiple HD arrays (not just one), and you can hang a 4K HDMI display or any USB-C device off the last device. Here's a trick for you, TB3 is also downward compatible with Thunderbolt 2 and 1 devices if you use an Apple Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter in series with your TB3 to your TB2 device as the Apple TB3 adapter is bi-directional, all others from Startech, Aktio and Cable Matters are all Unidirectional TB3 to TB2 adapters. Corning also makes optical thunderbolt cables which are pricey but offer extreme cable lengths without having to use a repeater. The TB3 drive you referenced being $900 is absurd, check out TB3 drives from OWC for more reasonably priced options.

"USB 3.2 Gen 2x2" cant we just call it usb 5

I do wonder how well thought-out Thunderbolt really is. Yeah, it's nice and all, but it's also a hotpluggable port to your system bus, with all that entails with DMA attacks. It seems like a recipe for security disaster to me.

"should you pay extra?" 2025: no there's usb4

Only reason I want TB3 is for future proofing. It's nice to have on a thin and light laptop if I need more power down the road.

This is a superb video, exactly what I needed

I picked up the Glyph 2TB Atom Pro Thunderbolt 3 SSD. It's incredibly fast! I absolutely love it. It was an upgrade from a mechanical HDD over USB-3 (not C) from 2012. It was time!

I like TB technology. I have been using it for years and love the low latency with the throughput. (:

I knew it was expensive but I never knew why or what it was. Great video, thanks!

Thunder, thunder, thunderbolt yooo!!!

Earned my like and comment with that segue.

really helpful and appreciate objective assessment

Thanks for the advice of whether we need or want such devices that are expensive.

Are those the amethysts from Luke's PC build, on the ad spot?

Finally Linus did a Segway where he doesn’t make his sponsors sound bad.

3:42 SMOOOTH

Linus talking about thunderbolt 3 Meanwhile, I'm still using USB 2.0

Dude your thumbnails keep getting goofier looking each day! 👍

The USB 3 naming conventions are super doubleplus good.

I literally yesterday was just thinking an updated Thunderbolt video.

The stock photo of the guy making it rain in a suit looked like Luke 😂

You know I watch these videos to help me understand parts for my compTIA A+ certification. I get so lost on the cables

Hey Linus! Thanks for the video.

The seg ways this guy does are what I live for, and I never knew it until now.

Has anyone just watched all the Linus TT videos from beginning to end? It's like traveling through time.

@Techquickie you guys should do an episode about what to do when your laptop brakes.

when finally advertisment matches the topic of the film XD

I love Thunderbolt

That's a crazy-looking jacket, Linus.

3:26 that really looks like Luke

You should probably mention the cable can only be like 2 feet if you want full 40gbs speeds too.

For the xtrm hard drive. The 1tb version costs(516) more than the 2tb (399) btw.

me getting a Pulseway ad : is that linus? also me : is this also linus in the vid?

Its the NEW USB 4:3/5-9'3-7:2 Ultra !!!

Linus you’re a legend

Hi, for music production should I buy a laptop with thunderbolt 3 port or is the standard USB-c port enough ? (planning to use reaper and my guitar plugged in Focusrite 2i2 3rd gen). Thanks ! :)

As I recall: you haven’ mentioned that Thunderbolt - much like Firewire - is daisy-chainable. Or, at least, far more easily daisy chainable than most forms of USB.

1:19 Gotta love and admire the simplicity of USB nomenclature! Don't know why they didn't just call the different versions o USB 3.0 as: USB 3 (5Gbit/s); USB 3 (10Gbit/s); USB 3 (20Gbit/s)... because that's how I'm going to call it from now on!!

1:23 you can feel the anger in his voice

lol that stock photo @3:26 looks almost exactly like Luke

The daisychain of 6 devices is probably the greatest benefit. Currently I'm on TB2 and I feel that the pricepoint for many of these devices will drop once TB3 hits USB 4.0 (and then Hackintosh can be done without need for THB-C Pins and a PCIe card) and more people will have access to this port

1:07 The thing I’m more shocked about is the shipping cost

0:47 I can't handle the "3" being in the background...

Only week people need love Linus.

Kanye West: "Fish Sticks" Linus 0:13 : "Flash Disks"

It's awesome in the DAW world where latency is a huge problem.

Linus two or three times along my day: Good morning boss! This is my office...

If you turn your phone upsidedown , and then cover Linus face from hair to nose, you'll see a shark

You had one job USB..... ONE JOB!!!

If only you sell that special HOODIE in your store..!

Love HA, where can you buy that?? Ok yeah there are places......

Thumbed up for LOVE!

*Flashdicks* Yes Officer, this man right here

For audio/low latency is crucial.

Awesome!

0:14 I swear I heard Linus say flash diks!

Nobody: IBM: I’ll take your entire stock.

I'd say that segway wasn't that bad - good job

That jacket is tight son, you know what I mean....

Love? What is that? - Jim Carrey and Linus Roasted Sebastian

I Recommend TEKQ RAPIDE THUNDERBOLT 3 - NVM EXTERNAL Drive , I use it in my 2017 iMac with fusion drive and swap my Mac OS to boot from it, I get 2,8gb/s read , 2,4gb/s write and I paid only 200GBP , I thought I have to open my iMac to get a better performance but when I find out about this drive I was blown away. LIFE CHANGER :)

What I like about Thunderbolt3 the most is the name. IT'S clear and not confusing like USB3.0/3.1/3.2 Gen1

4 walls, a roof, and a faucet, and food, and love.......AND........nah bruh I need a toilet or an out house. Just something, I'm not shitting in the corner

I only watch the sponsor segway at the end when I'm drunk.

I have a thunderbolt 3 cable for a long time, never used it!

You-ess-bee three point two gen two by two. What a mouthful...

1:05 shows the Samsung X5 SSD at $450 (screenshot) Then recommends the sabrents SSD which is $516 (which has slower read and write speeds)

Thunderbolt kicked in yo

Odin: Are you Thor, the god of hammers? Thor: No, but Thunderbolt 3 is so expensive...

I got this functionality years ago, with a 5.1/4 - SATA hot-swap-dock.

i guarantee you that thunderbolt 3 will become a standard feature on all devices including phones and tvs. if it isn't integrated into usb3.4 or 3.99 or whatever they go to, it will replace usb. its the only interface that you could make a thumb drive for that would upload or transfer entire blurays worth of data in seconds. that would be a pretty useful tool for military and law enforcement. plug in a small thumb drive and download a tb of data in seconds. its like something straight out of a movie.

This video was made on my birthday :)

T-Bolt 3 speed and direct PCI-e connectivity can be important in eliminating milliseconds of input lag for musicians - commonly guitarists - whom are attempting to use software in a DAW on a laptop as a viable real-time performance alternative that replaces plugging their instrument into a conventional amplifier to get their sound. Currently, noticeable and performance compromising input lag is the most common problem issue and deterrent for guitarists experimenting with using the extensive tonal quality and flexibility of software-based performances in a live setting. Anyone that could address these issues and offer integrated turn-key packaged interface-computer-software build that “just worked” would fill an open niche in the marketplace.

I feel so bad for Yvonne all her fears are true

Conor Mcgregor + Riley Murdock = 3:25

I think it would be so cool to have an stupidly powerful pc in a closet or garage with really loud cooling to keep it overclocked, and just run fiber optic tb3 cables through the house to my desk, tv, and anywhere else that would use the computer. Not only that you can basically have a 40gbe network in your house for way cheaper than what it costs to set up.

Yo what are those colored external drives at 0:35? That exterior looks really nice.

*Checks link for Sabrent* *Checks price.* *Wallet suddenly has been diagnosed with anxiety.*

Who needs food when you can just download more food?

That segway was painful

Where's the USB 4.0 mention??? I know it's not out yet but it deserves a mention at least

0:46 Gavin Belson approved logo

I can find a bunch ways to spend $800 but not on a thunderbolt 3 - 2 TB hard drive. Yikes I could get a SAMSUNG 860 EVO SSD with 4 TB for around $650. I just bought and reviewed a SAMSUNG 860 EVO 1 TB which cost about $150. I do heavy video editing for my channel and lots of gaming and I have zero issues with speed or latency. Good vid Linus.

That Luke stock photo!
