    Connecting (2) G-Drives to New iMac Pro?

    I need to connect two G-Drives, both with Thunderbolt 1 non-daisy chainable interfaces, to a new iMac Pro. I'm thinking the best way to do this is by using two of the iMac Pro's USB-C ports, but I can't find a USB-C to Thunderbolt 1 (i.e. MiniDisplayPort) cable that supports data. Does anyone...

    MacBook, Dongle-dom & "Single port life"

    How is life with only 1 port? What are the restrictions with non-Thunderbolt 3 compatibility? I am presuming today there aren't many devices though this may change. Is the 5Gbps upper limit an issue, or is this just for "pro" use, i.e. multi-5k screens, plus TB3-native SSDs or eGPUs? Is there...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro 11-inch charges faster with 29W/30W adapter than 87W

    Hello! I conducted tests, and it seem like the optimal charger for the 11-inch iPad Pro is the 29W. The 87W outputs less wattage than the 29W, and I suspect that it's because only the 29W charger has the right combination of voltage/amps to achieve the max power the iPad Pro can take. Can...
