4TB T7 is ~$200 and most will probably be happy with T7's speed since this one requires 2x2 USB port. For Mac user's, none of the Macs have this port.

It comes with a USB C to USB C cable which all current macs have the ability to support via thunderbolt

yes, that's obvious. I was talking about Apple devices not supporting the 2000 MB/s speed, which is the selling point of the T9 compared to T7.

Right. No Mac currently supports USB 3.2 2x2, and USB 4.0 and Thunderbolt 4 also do not natively include USB 3.2 2x2 support.

There will be no speed advantage for Mac users with this T9 compared to the T7.

A quick search shows it's rated IP65, somewhat waterproof to spills but don't take it swimming.

Incorrect as to "downward" compatibility, outside the Church of Jobs. Stop misleading people.

Nope. The pouty Apple Corporation naturally locked down USB 4.0/Thunderbolt backward compatibility, but in the sane/open Windows universe, motherboards across-the-board are making those ports backward compatible with 2x2. It's right there in Intel's chipset.

Perhaps you missed it, but my post specifies two times that I am speaking about Mac compatibility.

Literally. You wrote that.

The second word in that sentence is "Mac."

Also, the statement is independently true. The USB 4.0 and Thunderbolt 4 standards do not require/support natively USB 3.2 2x2. You can read the certification requirements if you like.

This is hilarious. Now you're planting your flag on, "USB 4.0 and Thunderbolt 4 standards do not...support natively USB 3.2 2x2"

I won't waste my time proving the opposite to you, but the first hit I found in a second was https://www.datapro.net/techinfo/...d_faq.html

And every Windows motherboard I can find using the USB4 chipset, uses the same chipset to support 3.2 2x2. You're a Mac disciple, and it has consequences. Just live with it.
