![]() Neither Multidock was even recognized and I learned the hard way that Thunderbolt 3, despite having the same format, is NOT USB C. I originally hoped and tried to connect the Multidocks via Apple's Thunderbolt 3 (USB C format) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, then into the Thunderbolt ports on the Mac via standard thunderbolt 2 cables, hoping to get that sweet 20 Gbps Thunderbolt 2 speed, but no dice. Please correct me if I'm missing something glaringly obvious and advise as per below if you can!Īs you might know, the Mac Pro 2013 has 4 USB A ports and 6 Thunderbolt ports. The problems with the new Multidock 10G are that it is MUCH slower than the older thunderbolt model and cannot be daisey-chained as far as I know-a downgrade in every respect. As a result I was forced to buy 2 of the new Multidock 10G units (USB-C), and am having difficulty figuring out how to best connect them to the duplicate Mac Pro late 2013 trashcan in the second studio. Unfortunately the Multidock 2 thunderbolt was discontinued and I literally can't find it anywhere in the world, not even eBay. These work brilliantly and deliver thunderbolt 2 speeds of 20Gbps (lightning fast) with NO ADAPTERS-just one single thunderbolt cable going into just one of 6 thunderbolt Mac ports for both daisy-chained Multidocks. In my original studio I have a Mac Pro late 2013 trashcan connected to 2 daisy-chained Blackmagic Multidock 2 (thunderbolt 2) units (the older, now discontinued Multidock model). I am in the process of duplicating my rig for a second studio. TL/DR - How do I connect two Multidock 10G's to a Mac Pro late 2013 to achieve minimum 20Gbps speed? Specific cable/adapter path appreciated.
