My computer has a thunderbolt next to the USB C connector... Can all USB C connectors be connected to it or does it have to have a thunderbolt as well?

Those numbers could be looked up by anyone. You titled it as if you actually tested them.

how can you tell difference between 3.2 gen 1, 2, and 2 by 2?👮 📸

@andersonlee404 Жыл бұрын

The host inferred that 3.2 gen 1, 2, and 2x2 all look the same; in that case he would be wrong. USB 3.2 gen1 & gen2 are 12mm irreversible USB with blue lining. (but to tell specifically gen 1 or 2 you have to look at manufacturer packaging or manual.) USB 3.2 2x2 is the new reversible USB C shape.

Thanks for your vid! Something I don't fully understand is how these different connection types affect the actual operation of the drives. I have an iMac with 1TB internal SSD. I'm doing more video work now. My video files reside on that drive. I'm considering a 1TB external SSD that will connect to a Thunderbolt port. This drive will act as the scratch disk when working with video editing. Is there so much performance difference between a Thunderbolt and USB 3.2 SSD? I realize file copying is faster on the Thunderbolt.

My laptop has usb 2 ports. I have a capture card that has a usb 3. Is there an adapter that I can buy to plug a usb 3 into my usb 2 port?

@@JoeWayne84 USB C is for nothing as it only fast charges phones, and phone batteries have a much shorter lifespan due to this fast charging as is the case with USB C, Slow charging with an Original Apple charger on USB A is recommended: www.apple.com/shop/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter The Original Apple charger has the series: MD810LL/A on the box and on the charger! If on the box of the charger, there is another series on the charger, it means that it is a counterfeit charger. The Original Apple charger, with the series: MD810LL/A on the box, can also be found at authorized stores that are trustworthy.

Thunderbolt: "You must ask our permission." Everyone on the whole F'n planet after 10 months of CoVid Control Freaks: "Take your Thunderbolt and shove it where the lightning don't shine." Clueless marketing suicide.

Ask permission for who and for what? I don't get it. What does it mean by that?
