thunderbolt 3

Hi guys, I currently own a 2016 15" MBP TB (with the basic graphic card and processor) since January and so far, I'm really happy with it. I spent 6 months in New Zealand for a student exchange and that's actually why I bought my laptop: because I was on travel. About 2 years ago, I bought a...

I believe I've read or heard that the internal SSD's in the new iMacs are several times faster than what you can get from an external SSD. Does anyone have any numbers on this? I'm asking since Apple's prices for SSD's are, if not exorbitant, at least rather expensive. On the other hand...

I currently have a 2016 MacBook Pro with the function keys. This model only has 2, thunderbolt 3 ports. Currently, I have 1 1080p display, 1 4K@60hz display plus the MacBook Pro screen running. I am using an adapter and a TB3 to displayport cable. I was wondering if it would be possible to...

Over the week on this forum I noticed couple times people saying that for some there's no need to get the iMac with best GPU, that better get the lowest and in the future, if needed, get external Thunderbolt 3 GPU. I suspected there may be performance drop but first google result with bunch of...

i recently started a new job and was given the opportunity to perform my workload using a Mac. My boss said to order a 15 inch MacBook Pro after WWDC, in anticipation of a refresh/speed bump. The only thing I'm having trouble figuring out is a decent Thunderbolt 3/USB-C dock that will allow me...

How would one connect Acer HN27H monitor with only Dual DVI input at 1080p (1920x1080) to Macbook Pro 2016 through USB C (Thunderbolt 3) so it would work at 120HZ, what kind of magic trickery is needed? After a day of searching, I could not find any adapter that is higher than 60HZ.

I'd like to buy a portable solid state drive for a gift for a friend who has a new MBP with USB-C ports. He purchased it with a 512GB SSD and hoped to keep his large iTunes library as well as video editing projects on a fast external drive. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any portable...

Hi, I want to connect my external hard drive with thunderbolt 2 ports to my new MacBook Pro with USB C ports. Is there a single cable solution which can do this, I don't want another adapter or dongle... please let me know, thanks!

Thunderbolt 3 / 4 / USB 4 NVMe Enclosures The best enclosures for high speed transfers (2.5GB/s+) usually have one of these 2 chipsets: Thunderbolt 3: Intel's JHL7440, e.g. Acasis TBU-401 / 405 Orico TB3-S2 USB 4: Asmedia ADM2464PD Jeyi TB-2464 Maiwo 2464 ( NewEgg / AliExpress) Satechi Pro...

Has anyone seen a Thunderbolt 2 to 3 cable in the wild? I've just ordered a 2016 MBP, and have a few Thunderbolt 2 devices. I've ordered a couple of adaptors, but with my USB cables I'm replacing the cable instead of using adaptors. Would like to do the same thing with Thunderbolt but doesn't...

Other people have tried it but this is the first time I have seen all the information in a video: Hopefully the whole experience becomes smoother in the near future, but it's looking good.

I hear all this flak about the MBP 2016 not having any regular ports and how this is a fail. On the contrary, I feel this is the best thing for the MBP and I am thankful to apple for making this bold change, not just for the future, but for now. It has already made my cable management and dongle...

i guess i cant use the thunderbolt 2 wire...i dont have a usb 3.0 male to male...i DO have a hub that i can use on the new macbook pro but i dont know if i have a wire that would fit the both macs at the same time that transfers data...? do i go thru migration assistant or is there some other...

Hi there, currently I do have the 2012 Retina 15" Macbook Pro. Next week my new 2016 Touchbar Model is coming. I was wondering how I can migrate my data (1 TB). I'm sure that Target Disk Mode would be the quickest option for me (if I can get it to work), as my Time Machine backup in on the...

I just got my new MacBook Pro with Touchbar. Maxed out, souped-up. It is replacing my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. My old set up was to connect 2 Dell monitors (a Dell U2715H and a slightly older one) to the MacBook using 1 connection through an OWC Thunderbolt hub (display port connection) and the...

Hey! I was wondering if there's any thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt cable out there. I'm getting my new Macbook Pro 2016 next week and I was wondering if I could use a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 or HDMI or anything else to connect it to this...

Not a lot of enclosure options yet, that I can see. And now we're learning that SOME versions won't work with the new MBP. I'm going from an older MacPro 2008, so I'm gonna need REALLY to rethink my externals… Any suggestions? I'll buy anything but LaCie. Thx!

Going to be a first time mac user with a 2016 MBP with a 2 TB SSD and would like some direction on the best practices for having my video files backed up in a couple places while also making video editing as efficient as possible. I need to be able to manage about 150GB of new video/photo files...

Hi, I know there are a billion thread about this so I'm just going to explain quick I have a thunderbolt display which has no use at home I've always wished to have my PC connect to a thunderbolt display but after research it's clearly not possible I stumbled upon this cable which is made by...

Is it possible to connect multiple USB Type-C adapters that have a USB C port in-line with one another? Going with the idea of daisy chaining. USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter -> USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter The intent is to connect two screens using one port - thoughts? Anyone have...
