Do external drives with 'Thunderbolt Plus' connectivity work with LL? - m654321 - 03-21-2018
I have a Thunderbolt port on my laptop in setup[1] in signature below, which obviously made me consider an external storage drive equipped with Thunderbolt-connectivity. The article at http://www.itpro.co.uk/storage/22740/usb-vs-thunderbolt-which-is-better claims that such technology can move data at 4x the transfer rates of USB3.0, which is around 2.4GB/s
Unsurprisingly, you pay a lot more for this faster storage technology :-\
However, before flirting any further with Thunderbolt, I really need to know if it's compatible with LL, or at least can be configured relatively easily to work effectively with it, or whether it's just a Microsoft-only hardware?
