OWC Rocket Yard on it’s fastest portable drive now with USB4!

OWC’s latest drive is USB4, so it supports USB4, USB 3.2, USB 2 AND Thunderbolt 3 & 4, which is $119.99 empty and up to $1299.99 for an 8TB.

I just find it exciting for future OWC products to all be USB 4 so compatible with everything.

And according to Mac Performance Guide the large version is fast, faster than internal Mac Pro drives!

Arstechnica on Thunderbolt hitting 80Gbps in demo, equaling USB4 Version 2.0 Speeds

Scharon Harding at Ars Technica has this article on Thunderbolt hits 80Gbps in demo, equaling USB4 Version 2.0 Speeds. Good to see thunderbolt catch up to the newly proposed USB spec, but for it to keep going they should be pushing the limits and doubling the USB Speeds.

Honestly it is mostly about keeping compatibility with Thunderbolt devices, for those who have them, and I have a lot of them, and so I need compatiblity and not just with the connector, so lets hope Intel keeps the licensing prices inexpensive, so that machines are both thunderbolt 4 and USB 4.
