![]() ![]() So here's a slightly different question: Can a Thunderbolt 3 device connected to a Thunderbolt 3 host at 20 Gbps perform better than a Thunderbolt 2 device connected to the same Thunderbolt 3 host? Maybe, since there's a PCIe 3.0 connection at either end and a 20 Gbps connection between them which is less than PCIe 3.0 x4 but greater than PCIe 2.0 x4. Here's a question: Can a Thunderbolt 3 device connected to a Thunderbolt 2 host perform better than a Thunderbolt 2 device connected to the same host? The Thunderbolt 3 device will be using PCIe 3.0 so maybe it can use more of the Thunderbolt 2 bandwidth? Probably not, since the host is still limited to PCIe 2.0. ![]() ![]() The rest of the Thunderbolt 2 bandwidth can be used by DisplayPort (priority is DisplayPort, then PCIe can use whatever is left over up to its max). The Thunderbolt controller also has two DisplayPort inputs. PCIe is just one of the inputs to the Thunderbolt controller. With PCIe overhead, you can expect to get about 80% of that. Better yet, the upgrade process is fairly easy and should only take about ten minutes to complete. Click to expand.Thunderbolt 2 = 20 Gbps = 2500 MB/sīut Thunderbolt 2 uses PCIe 2.0 x4 = 5 GT/s x 4 x 8b/10b = 2000 MB/s. Upgrade the internal storage of any 2006-current Mac Pro up to 16.0TB of SSD storage with up to 6,000MB/s real-world speeds. ![]()
