Enterprise NVMe drives can do sustained writes of 7GB/s no problem. That’s 58Gbps plus overhead.

That’s to a single drive.

If you are a film crew connecting and ingesting multiple raw 8k 120hz video to be edited, this is very useful

As to whether they use USB4 v2 or thunderbolt, I’m not sure it matters. They look pretty similar, but with thunderbolt it’s very easy to know what the interface is capable of. Good luck when something says “USB 4”.

USB-C is just a connector - thunderbolt uses the exact same connector.

Storage and creative use cases, 100%. If you have several TBs coming off each camera per day, you will 100% feel the pain.

Just driving two 4K monitors at 40Gbps is pretty much all of the bandwidth of TB3, assuming you’re doing 10b 120hz.

A modern NVMe can easily do 50-60Gbps per drive.

You still need copper unless you don’t want to transmit power too.

Interestingly, fiber technically has more latency than copper - light moves slower through fiber than electrons through copper.

I get it, but see Kyle rittenhouse, downvote Kyle rittenhouse.

This is RCA (the left / right audio) and composite video.

This meme would have been better with component video and TOSLINK or S-Video and toslink.
