Hi Everyone
I recently upgraded my workstation and am now using the ASUS ProArt Z690-CREATOR WIFI mobo. Sorry for the noob question here but I can't find a definitive answer.
The thunderbolt port on this board is type 4 but an external drive I have been using for an ongoing project is thunderbolt 2.
I have been reading conflicting reports about whether the apple T2 to T3 apple adapter would work for me in a Windows 10 environment. Do I really need to upgrade the entire 12TB thunderbolt 2 drive to a thunderbolt 4 equivalent (which would be prohibitively expensive right now)... ?
I realise of course that the T2 drive would always be T2 speed and wouldn't be any faster when connected to a T4 port, but I just want my mobo to be able to connect to the T2 drive, albeit at T2 speed.
Any advice much appreciated.
Regards,
Simon
