They decide what you can do on your device and how quickly you can do it. In when Apple introduced a new style MacBook Pro , it ditched every single port of its old machines and replaced it with just Thunderbolt 3.
Many PCs makers followed suit. Intel introduced the Thunderbolt platform in at a time when USB 3. Thunderbolt was capable of twice that, 10Gbps, plus it could transfer multiple types of data - not just serial data to storage devices. It could, for instance, pipe video data to displays. It could also daisy-chain devices together, such as your hard drive to your computer and a display to your hard drive. USB 4 is now on the way , which will include the Thunderbolt 3 specification within it.
In other words, all USB 4. This connector is used for simplicity foremost, but there are other reasons, too. Early versions of Thunderbolt relied on a Mini DisplayPort-style connector, and Apple was the only major manufacturer to embrace Thunderbolt. The first reason comes down to length , as cables like these tend to get much more expensive the longer they are but still promising support for the maximum 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 rate.
The simplest explanation is that USB-C refers to the shape of the port and Thunderbolt 3 refers to the connectivity standard. But a real SSD with an internal controller mounted inside the computer will provide the best overall speed. You can connect two PCs together using a single Thunderbolt 3 port and get a 10Gb Ethernet connection.
The latest Thunderbolt can transfer data at a breakneck speed of up to 40 Gbps [18]. Thunderbolt 3 specifications: Eight times faster than USB 3. Thunderbolt runs at 10 Gbps bi-directionally per channel and supports two channels in its initial specification.
Although a lot of people only upload images to Instagram from their smartphones, the app is much more than just a mobile photography platform. In this guide we've chosen a selection of cameras that make it easy to shoot compelling lifestyle images, ideal for sharing on social media. If you're looking for the perfect drone for yourself, or to gift someone special, we've gone through all of the options and selected our favorites.
We looked at cameras with selfie-friendly screens, wide-angle lenses, microphone inputs and great video quality, and selected the best. In this article, landscape photographer Erez Marom explains how he thinks about the concept of originality in landscape photography, and how the creation of unique images is still possible, even in over-shot locations.
Watch his review to find out why. Recently the winners and runners up were announced for the Natural Landscape Photography Awards. The new version of the digital asset management tool promises improved performance and includes a new UI, new editing tools and improved workflow options. Nikon doesn't specifically mention any future products, but does state the collaboration with Nissin and Profoto will 'increase reliable options for Nikon camera users, expanding possibilities for imaging expression'.
Despite being a copy of a model from a far more popular manufacturer at its time of release, the Lomo LC-A has become an iconic camera in film photography culture and was the catalyst for the experimental 'Lomography' movement. Zenfolio has announced the acquisition of Format, a popular website-building platform for photographers and other artists. The acquisition further bolsters Zenfolio's ongoing efforts to reinvigorate its business model and position itself a strong option for photographers looking to build a website and run a business.

Panasonic China has posted a pair of images to various Chinese social media sites that tease what appears to be a new lens launch. Gordon Laing is back at it again with another Retro Review. In this episode, Laing goes back 25 years to provide an in-depth overview of Nikon's unique Coolpix camera, which was half compact camera, half PDA.
The adapter includes optics to help offset the crop factor of APS-C cameras. OM Digital Solutions — the company that's bought the Olympus imaging division — has just launched the M.

Talking about this is storage company Kensington's VP Ben Thacker, who said: We expect Thunderbolt 4 products to be an inflection point for accessory makers who depend on PCs and Macs to offer an industry-leading set of product capabilities for a consistent user experience.
Via: 9to5Mac. View Comments Comments All SantaFeBill "Intel released the minimum system specifications for Thunderbolt Basically if it is TB4, you know it can support 2 x 4K or 1 x 8K at a minimum with 1 cable.
Ditya Alamsyah USB is popular, but thunderbolt has its niche. Mr Bolton Thunderbolt sure seems to want to push the maximum physically possible over one tiny cable. Tungsten Nordstein Daisy chaining is an important feature for me. Nukunukoo eGPU much? Mr Bolton Firewire would have won if Apple hadn't mandated charging every mobo vendor a dollar a port for every single FW port on every machine.
Spectro I think intel is skipping 4 and going straight to PCIe 5 in future design. Ebeay In a business world every second counts. Both are going to be killer. Should be available by the end of the year. Thunderbolt will probably die when Apple goes ARM MikeRan Reading a little more it seems Intel still has some control on thunderbolt 3 over USB4 but they are removing the royalty costs.
Ebeay Intel does not care if apple goes arm just as long as they pay the license for tb4. Andy Moreton The biggest problem with thunderbolt is security or lack thereof.
Franz Weber Hard to believe that Thunderbolt 4 would be better that Thunderbolt 3. I liked Sean Connery in Thunderbolt 1. And Rocky 4 was worse than Rocky 3. Rob-in-Alberta rocky 4 was way better than 3. Ivan Drago would be thunderbolt JosephScha My work computer, bought by the company I work for, is a laptop with a Thunderbolt dock.
NexUser Exactly. Gmon Thank goodness that you don't dictate technology. There will always be a need for a faster solution than what USB alone provides. Gmon And people were saying Canon was losing to Sony for years and Sony was getting stronger in the camera world. Ebeay mikeran tb3 is free in all future chipsets, so there is no reason not to go tb3 anymore. Ditya Alamsyah "1 universal serial bus is all we need" hahaha, no. Gmon xeppeliin - I'm not sure what your beef is.
MikeRan It's basically an Intel technology made popular by Apple.. Spectro my window laptop which is 3 years old has thunderbolt. The cable quality and cable connectors will impact the speed. It's very easy to fall down the rabbit hole when it comes to cables and adapters, this will be explored in a different blog post.
For now, you just need to be aware that they play a role in your hard drives performance. This is by far the most important concept to understand when it comes to hard drive speed. You know that old saying 'a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link'? The same principle is in effect here. Your hard drive is only as fast as the slowest component in use. The best way to explore this is by example:.
Despite all of the other upstream components being faster we default to the speed of USB2. Example Slow Connection and Cable. This is because the USB3. Example Slow SSD. When using high end connections like USB3. Here you can see the SSD, despite being really fast, has become the slowest component in use and thus the bottleneck in drive speed.
