Customer Questions & Answers
-
Question:
What devices can I connect to this hub?
Answer: You can connect high-performance devices such as storage arrays, 3D scanners, audio-video devices, and external SSDs. -
Question:
Is this compatible with my Mac or Windows laptop?
Answer: Yes, it works with Windows 7 and up, MacOS 10.12 and up, and Linux operating systems. -
Question:
How does the hub improve device performance?
Answer: The hub provides dedicated independent bandwidth to each device, ensuring optimal transfer speeds and performance enhancements. -
Question:
Will this work on my intel nuc 10i7's thunderbolt 3 slot? I hope so, I desperately need to add more 3.1 usb ports. Thank you.
Answer: It works well with a NUC 8i7, so I suspect that it will work on a 10i7 as well. Be aware, though, that unless you're running into bandwidth limitations that this device is overkill and a normal hub will work. However, if you do need multiple 5Gb/s goodness, then there's literally no substitute. -
Question:
What usb controller(s) are used internally? I'm trying to evaluate linux support.
Answer: The TB33A1C uses ASMedia - ASM1042A / ASM1142 based chipsets for the USB controller. Furthermore, the TB33A1C is not supported for Linux. Atha, StarTech.com Support -
Question:
Is this tb33a1c supported under macOS versions 10.14 (mojave) and 10.15 (catalina)?
Answer: Yes, the TB33A1C is supported in macOS 10.12-10.15. Matt, StarTech.com Support -
Question:
If I plug in a thunderbolt drive and a usb-c 3.1 (10gbps) drive into the hub, can I achieve 10gbps transfer rates between the two drives with this hub?
Answer: Yes, the TB33A1C supports up to 10Gbps on the USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port. Actual speeds, however, will vary based on the drives being used and their capabilities. Matt, StarTech.com Support -
Question:
Can I use the usb-c (10gbps) port to connect a displayport monitor, and still have the thunderbolt 3 daisychain port available for other tb3 devices?
Answer: No, the 10Gbps USB-C port on the TB33A1C only supports standard USB 3.1 Gen 2 data and power. It does not support video or extra power delivery. Matt, StarTech.com Support -
Question:
Can I daisy chain 2 monitors to my 2020 macbook pro (not m1) so that it extends to both separately (3 diff screens)?
Answer: The TB33A1C does allow for additional extended displays from the downstream Thunderbolt 3 port. Brandon, StarTech.com Support -
Question:
Is the downstream tb3 port limited to 10 gbps rather than 40 gbps?
Answer: The downstream TB3 port on TB33A1C is a full Thunderbolt 3 port and supports 40Gbps. Matt, StarTech.com Support -
Question:
Will this work in a computer that doesn't have Thunderbolt functionality?
Answer: No, it requires thunderbolt. In short - it is designed to be a USB hub for a Thunderbolt computer - from thunderbolt to another thunderbolt 3 as well as various USB connectivity options.
