Hight transfer speeds: Both Thunderbolt 3 and 4 can transfer data at 40 GB/s, which is high compared to USB-C that transfers data at 20 GB/s.

Some of the reasons why Thunderbolt 3 and 4 have gained a lot of popularity in the tech market include: Thunderbolt 4 was later released in 2020 and came with several features that were an improvement of the Thunderbolt 3 port, and it also made use of the USB-C interface, as illustrated in the image below.

However, only a few laptop models and Macbooks shipped their products with the Thunderbolt 1/ 2 interface by this time. Thunderbolt 1 and 2 used a Mini DisplayPort (MDP) connector illustrated in the image below. It’s an external hardware interface to connect your external peripheral devices to your laptop/ Desktop.

No, I still don't know what the update is. The final transfer sent me to an agent who informed me they would have a supervisor call me, which could take up to 24 hours. If you think I'm repeating myself, it's because this happened 3 times in 1 hour and 20 minutes. He puts me on hold, finally coming back and saying he has to create a service request and will transfer me. I will say he is very polite and askes me to explain what happened. I explain again about the firmware issue and how this was supposedly sent to engineering, and that there was an update to my case and I was told to call, AGAIN.

I indicate want to know what this update is. "Our paid support options for your issue include." and I cut him off right there, informing him I don't want to hear about paid support options, I explain again about the firmware issue and how this was supposedly sent to engineering, and that there was an update to my case and I was told to call. I supply my service tag, confirm my info with a rep and he asks me to hold while he checks notes. This is the only positive aspect of this call. They're available 7am – 12am CST Monday to Friday."
