I picked up the Glyph 2TB Atom Pro Thunderbolt 3 SSD. It's incredibly fast! I absolutely love it. It was an upgrade from a mechanical HDD over USB-3 (not C) from 2012. It was time!
Linus, your staff didn't do enough research for this episode, you forgot a few things, TB3 encapsulates USB inside the connector so you can connect any USB device provided you have the right cable for it on that port, for devices that have 2x TB3 ports, you can daisy chain up to 6 devices and up to 100W of power, You can have multiple HD arrays (not just one), and you can hang a 4K HDMI display or any USB-C device off the last device. Here's a trick for you, TB3 is also downward compatible with Thunderbolt 2 and 1 devices if you use an Apple Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter in series with your TB3 to your TB2 device as the Apple TB3 adapter is bi-directional, all others from Startech, Aktio and Cable Matters are all Unidirectional TB3 to TB2 adapters. Corning also makes optical thunderbolt cables which are pricey but offer extreme cable lengths without having to use a repeater. The TB3 drive you referenced being $900 is absurd, check out TB3 drives from OWC for more reasonably priced options.
1:19 Gotta love and admire the simplicity of USB nomenclature! Don't know why they didn't just call the different versions o USB 3.0 as: USB 3 (5Gbit/s); USB 3 (10Gbit/s); USB 3 (20Gbit/s)... because that's how I'm going to call it from now on!!
The daisychain of 6 devices is probably the greatest benefit. Currently I'm on TB2 and I feel that the pricepoint for many of these devices will drop once TB3 hits USB 4.0 (and then Hackintosh can be done without need for THB-C Pins and a PCIe card) and more people will have access to this port
As I recall: you haven’ mentioned that Thunderbolt - much like Firewire - is daisy-chainable. Or, at least, far more easily daisy chainable than most forms of USB.
@@rogueanuerz It has basically the same specs as thunderbolt 3 and is supposed to launch later this year. It's important for Linus to make sure not to leave out this information, especially for a video like this whose audience is not the most informed when it comes to technology. It is the standard that will replace thunderbolt, USB 3.2 gen1, USB 3.2 gen2, and USB gen3.2x2. There's nothing impractical about it, just a matter of time, and only months at that. It's important information for anyone who doesn't already know the pros and cons to thunderbolt 3, who are the exact people this video is targeted towards.
I think it would be so cool to have an stupidly powerful pc in a closet or garage with really loud cooling to keep it overclocked, and just run fiber optic tb3 cables through the house to my desk, tv, and anywhere else that would use the computer. Not only that you can basically have a 40gbe network in your house for way cheaper than what it costs to set up.
i guarantee you that thunderbolt 3 will become a standard feature on all devices including phones and tvs. if it isn't integrated into usb3.4 or 3.99 or whatever they go to, it will replace usb. its the only interface that you could make a thumb drive for that would upload or transfer entire blurays worth of data in seconds. that would be a pretty useful tool for military and law enforcement. plug in a small thumb drive and download a tb of data in seconds. its like something straight out of a movie.

I can find a bunch ways to spend $800 but not on a thunderbolt 3 - 2 TB hard drive. Yikes I could get a SAMSUNG 860 EVO SSD with 4 TB for around $650. I just bought and reviewed a SAMSUNG 860 EVO 1 TB which cost about $150. I do heavy video editing for my channel and lots of gaming and I have zero issues with speed or latency. Good vid Linus.
Would I pay extra? HECK YES! The fact that I can connect an external GPU (eGPU) via Thunderbolt 3 port only when I need and can disconnect when I'm done is a complete no brainer. Since I have a Dell Latitude 7200 2-in-1 tablet and my Gigabyte Gaming Box RX 580, I couldn't be bothered about custom PC anymore.
I Recommend TEKQ RAPIDE THUNDERBOLT 3 - NVM EXTERNAL Drive , I use it in my 2017 iMac with fusion drive and swap my Mac OS to boot from it, I get 2,8gb/s read , 2,4gb/s write and I paid only 200GBP , I thought I have to open my iMac to get a better performance but when I find out about this drive I was blown away. LIFE CHANGER :)
My guess would be that you just might want to make sure that you have Thunderbolt 3 compatibility all the way around. 1) The connector on your system 2) The cable 3) The external device you are connecting to. Now - for example - in my adventures learning about what Thunderbolt was and was not - I acquired a Thunderbolt 2 compatible device ... is that going to work with a Thunderbolt 3 connection? And - how well will it work if it works at all? Is it worth while buying a device with a Thunderbolt 3 connection? Will I end up with yet another piece of computer equipment that ... I'm not really making much use of ... ? .
T-Bolt 3 speed and direct PCI-e connectivity can be important in eliminating milliseconds of input lag for musicians - commonly guitarists - whom are attempting to use software in a DAW on a laptop as a viable real-time performance alternative that replaces plugging their instrument into a conventional amplifier to get their sound. Currently, noticeable and performance compromising input lag is the most common problem issue and deterrent for guitarists experimenting with using the extensive tonal quality and flexibility of software-based performances in a live setting. Anyone that could address these issues and offer integrated turn-key packaged interface-computer-software build that “just worked” would fill an open niche in the marketplace.
The big problem with TB3 was missing... TB3 can be used for hidden direct code execution, which is dangerous combined with the direct pciE connection...
Honestly they should have just done: USB3.0: 5Gb USB3.1: 10Gb USB3.2: 20Gb It's not like they retroactively changed the old speeds with each "point" revision. A brand new "3.2 Gen1" device will still work at 5Gb on my older USB3.0 ports, and vice versa.
I kinda stopped caring once I found out external SSDs are way more expensive than internal ones. Considering I still have an M.2 slot and a 2.5" slot to fill in my Laptop, I think I'd rather have cheaper storage with me at all times instead of more expensive storage that I have to carry around seperately. Saves space and money.
Thank you Apple for FireWire, I mean Thunderbolt 3. Its what USB should have been by now. Apple developed the start of this in 1986. Without it we would not have USB as it is today. Please dont forget companies like AMD, Apple and others that nearly disappeared from a monopolized industry that kick that industry in the ass to kickstart things throughout this technological renaissance, wither you're a fan of them or not we have benefited greatly.
Thunderbolt 3 is nice when you connect something once and never remove it. If you disconnect a TB3 device regularly (like a dockingstation, harddisk), you will have to replace your motherboard quickly, like my company had to do with some laptops, as the reliability of this crap is terrible.
That Lacie one is USB-C "compatible with Thunderbolt 3 ports" for people who do not know that any USB device works on a Thunderbolt 3 port, because Thunderbolt 3 ports can mimic USB ports. But that SSD is not based on Thunderbolt technology, and hence it is slow. Intel should sue these manufacturers for using its trademarks without permission.

Hey Linus. I wonder if you could make a video explaining why the big programming studios won't include splitscreen gaming anymore. It's so tiring to scroll through steam and barely even finding a racing game with splitscreen. Why can't our generation come over and play a game together but has to buy the game twice to play the games kilometers away from each other? It makes me kind of sad. :(
Thunderbolt is fast, and it provides multiple use cases (my fav is external gpu), but it really depends on the user, if the user is always carry a large bag around, they wouldn't mind bringing a dongle to use it, but for others, it may be tedious.
its still mostly pointless outside of file transfers. External gpus are cool but they still only get I think its not around 70% of the power of the gpu which isn't bad but even some mobile gpus do better and the full desktop ones obviously do as well. While there are audio devices and more that's generally setup differently and doesn't need thunderbolt 3s performance in speed and such to be good. Making it sort of just more costly for something including needing dongles. Its one of those yeah its really cool but as of current its still somewhat pointless for most people. With the next gen usb probably including it anyways also sort of just says meh whatever.
I'll stick with the good old A-10 'Warthog' Thunderbolt II. Sure it's old but sometimes you just need that 3900 rounds of 30mm depleted uranium rounds per minute.

Making it sort of just more costly for something including needing dongles. Its one of those yeah its really cool but as of current its still somewhat pointless for most people. With the next gen usb probably including it anyways also sort of just says meh whatever.

I'll stick with the good old A-10 'Warthog' Thunderbolt II. Sure it's old but sometimes you just need that 3900 rounds of 30mm depleted uranium rounds per minute.
