- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoTB4 is PCIe over a cable. USB is out of the picture after device initialization.
- LoganDark 2y agoBy "USB port alternative" they surely mean alternative accelerators that connect over USB, not alternatives to USB ports for connecting accelerators
- geerlingguy 2y agoFinding anything that's not hundreds of dollars to go from Thunderbolt to actual PCIe slot or M.2 slot is tough though. There are a couple solutions, but then you have to have hardware that has a Thunderbolt port as well... and those aren't everywhere, especially on cheaper computers and SBCs.
