Well, usb4 should work just fine. TB4 instead means that it will probably not work with most devices, except maybe on intel, but maybe still not because a license could be missing. Very helpful "do not buy" logo.
- cogman10 2y agoThe thing about USB4 that I really don't like is that it's got a bunch of optional parts in the standard (including the TB3 compatibility). Right now, the best way to guarantee a cable works with basically all the USB4 standards is to purchase a certified TB3 cable. Any ole USB-C cable may support anything from USB 2.0 speeds to TB 4 speeds. It's sort of a crap shoot. The same is true for a USB4 controller.
- elric 2y agoYeah, and I've noticed that they seem a lot more fragile than previous generations of USB cables. Recently failed to flash a phone until I switched cables ... they were identical, but the failing one had been in my bag for a good while and probably suffered from wear & tear.
