You cannot connect a Thunderbolt dock to a USB-C port that does not support Thunderbolt unless the Thunderbolt dock uses the new Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 controller.

No, the iPad Pro 2018 does not have a Thunderbolt 3 port.

I think they all use the ASM1142 because it only requires one PCIe 3.0 lane from the Thunderbolt 3 controller leaving three lanes for other controllers (usually two USB 3.0 controllers and one Ethernet controller but sometimes a FireWire or eSATA controller).Ĭheck the Wire Cutter review "The Best Thunderbolt 3 Docks" for more info.Īnswer (how to connect Sabrent EC-NVME (with USB 3.1 Gen 2 USB Type-C) to Mac Pro (2016) (Model: MacPro6,1Ė-Core Intel Xeon E5ē.5 GHz) thru THUNDERBOLT 2?) If they are based on the ASMedia ASM1142 (8 Gbps PCIe 2.0x2 or 7.9 Gbps PCIe 3.0x1), then you'll get slightly better performance using a Thunderbolt 3 port. Some Thunderbolt 3 docks also have other USB 3.1 gen 2 USB-C ports. The second Thunderbolt 3 port of the Thunderbolt 3 device can be used for USB 3.1 gen 2 devices. The best (only?) way to add USB 3.1 gen 2 to a Mac that only has Thunderbolt 2 is to connect a Thunderbolt 3 device that has two Thunderbolt 3 ports using an Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter. The Sabrent EC-NVME is a USB 3.1 gen 2 device so the max speed you could expect is a little over 900 MB/s which is a good portion of the theoretical limit of USB 3.1 gen 2 (9.7 Gbps considering the encoding overhead of 128b/132b but not the overhead of the USB protocol).
