No need for thunderbolt, had good experience with good old high speed usb.
- RamRodification 11mo agoI have to admit I still don't really know what thunderbolt even is. I think it's something that is done over USB-C, and requires hardware support on the CPU. I'm guessing it's one search query + a one minute read away though. I just haven't.
- dontlaugh 11mo agoIt’s a PCIe tunnelling protocol, sort of. The other simpler one is Oculink. Most of the time you could do the same thing with USB <4 without slowdown.
- RamRodification 11mo agoGood to know! Thanks.
- deltoidmaximus 11mo agoDoes Oculink have any special sauce to it? I was under the impression it presented itself as regular old PCI-e and it is really "just" a cabling solution.
- dontlaugh 11mo agoI’m not entirely sure. It definitely don’t have its own protocol like Thunderbolt and can’t possibly be secured.
