    Data Speed of USB-C to Lightning Cable

    Hi All, Does the USB-C to Lightning Cable transfer data faster than the classic USB Lightning Cable? Because of fast charge, I'm assuming the iPhone X supports the part of the USB 3.0 spec, but does it support the increased bandwidth that it offers? Thanks All, Chris

    Kingston 2 TB Flash Drive Announced

    Now this is a winner! A 2 TB flash drive with USB 3.0 and extreme weather capabilities. I could see this replacing more than a few external HD's, if the price is right. I'd certainly give it a try. I've used Kingston RAM over the years and never had any issues, hopefully this product will be...

    Can I run iOS apps on a MacBook

    This may sound like a daft question, but I am getting tired of doing some things on my iPad and only being able to do others on my MacBook. What I am ideally looking for is one single device - possibly a combination tablet and dock - that will meet all my needs. While "resting" I just want to be...

    External Audio Cards (USB 3.0)

    I had to roll back to Yosemite some months ago in my MBA (2014) since after updating my external audio card (Roland OCTA CAPTURE) stopped working after 5-10 minutes, and had to reconnect it again or sometimes reset my Mac to make it work again. At first I thought it was Roland's drivers bug, but...

    Raid 5 over 300MB/s write possible?

    Hey everyone, My knowledge concerning external raid is pretty limited. However, I can't seem to find a raid enclosure that can get reasonable write speeds for terabytes of data with redundancy. I'm limited to USB 3 and esata speeds being on a 2009 Mac Pro (no thunderbolt). From what I...

    ExpressCard with USB 3.0 - FLUSH

    I've got a 17" MacBook Pro 2011 with an expresscard slot and would like to give it a USB 3.0 slot. However, I'm seeing many options for expresscards but they've all got that large bulky USB slot that sticks way out. Are there any USB 3.0 cards that are flush and WORK with OS X? I've got 10.10.5...
