Hello, brand new here and hoping someone can help me!
I have a 27" iMac, the 2020 model with 2 thunderbolt 3 ports on the back.
I somehow need to connect 2 San Disk Extreme Pro portable SSD's, and a Thunderbolt Display for a 2nd monitor.
I thought of this arrangement:
SSD Drive A plugs into 1st thunderbolt port on iMac
Thunderbolt Display plugs into 2nd thunderbolt port on imac
Get the thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adaptor, and use it to plug SSD Drive B into the Thunderbolt display
How much speed will I lose?
Will it totally defeat the purpose of getting this high speed drive?
Is there a better way to do this- a hub of some kind?
Thanks much for any help anyone can provide!
