![]() USB-C is backward compatible with USB 2 and later, and Thunderbolt is backward compatible with all other versions of Thunderbolt, although adapters may be required. Is USB-C and Thunderbolt 2 the same?Īn adapter is required to transfer audio via USB-C, but Thunderbolt natively supports video and audio. A real-life throughput of around 2,750MBps makes it potentially faster than most internal SSDs, and not far short of the 1TB SSD in the 2018 Mac Mini. Thunderbolt started at 10Gbps, with a throughput of 700MBps to 800MBps, and today’s Thunderbolt 3 is specified for up to 40Gbps or 5,000MBps of bandwidth. For this comparison, I tested a 1TB Thunderbolt 3 external SSD, a 1TB USB 3.1 Gen 2 external SSD, and a 1TB NVMe SSD that I installed into a USB 3.1 Gen 2 external enclosure. ![]() ![]() The ports themselves are backwards compatible, so a Thunderbolt 3 port will work just fine with drives that use the slower interfaces.
