![]() ![]() As with other standards' backwards compatibility, you won't benefit from the newer version's faster speed when you connect an older device. Thunderbolt 2 uses the same connectors as the original Thunderbolt standard, so you'll be able to connect Thunderbolt devices to Thunderbolt 2 ports and/or cables and vice-versa. You can also connect DVI, HDMI and VGA displays via adapters, and if you use OS X you can network two Macs over a Thunderbolt connection rather than the traditional Ethernet. The DisplayPort element is backwards compatible, but you'll need a cable adaptor to connect an existing DisplayPort monitor. Thunderbolt combines two protocols, PCI Express (PCIe) and DisplayPort, which means you can connect monitors, external drives, video capture devices and so on. Thunderbolt 2 vs USB 3.0 vs eSATA: Compatibility The performance you actually get in the real world will also depend on your devices and their configurations. You don't need to do that with Thunderbolt 2.Īs with all maximum throughput figures, quoted speeds are theoretical maximums and don't take data overheads into account. As we've already explained above Thunderbolt 2 isn't actually faster than the original 10Gbps Thunderbolt standard, but if you wanted to get 20Gbps out of that you needed to combine two 10Gbps channels. ![]()
