At the time, Intel claimed the connection could reach transfer speeds of 10 Gbit/s and even promised a future of 100 Gbit/s. It was powered by a prototype design PCI Express card with two optical buses that powered four ports. The head of Intel’s Optical I/O Program Office, Jason Ziller, showed how powerful the new invention could be by running two 1080p video streams, a Local Area Network connection, and storage devices over a 30-meter cable using modified USB connection ends. In 2009, Intel showcased a new technological invention that the company hoped would cut down on the number of ports and connections needed to connect to commonly used peripherals and specialty hardware. Thunderbolt ports were co-developed by Apple and Intel. Thunderbolt 3 came in three varieties: Double Port, Singal Port, and Low Power.

Many believed it to be a display connection. This has often led to confusion about what the Thunderbolt port is capable of.

They are posted now.Ĭan you post the adapter you purchased? It's posted below. I think you may have forgot to post the photos. I checked and my update to Big Sur 11.3.1. It happened on Monday, May 10th not the 3rd. I was incorrect on the days I said earlier. And I do not know how to uninstall an update. It's a little late to do the right thing now. If anything, just to test to see if your HW is working correctly, but if you have no reason to run newer OS versions, just stick with stuff you know works. If there was a SW update, I would suggest going back to an older OS version of Big Sur, or maybe back to Mojave or Catalina. If it was running great until Monday, did something change? Do you have auto-updates enabled? Yes, I did I don't now.
