When a new TBD is pluggend into a new MBP USB3 port, are the 3 USB ports on the display now USB3 speed? If not, when will Apple update the TBD with USB3 ports?
Thank you.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
We don't know and can not speculate about future products.
Thank you for your prompt reply. I get the "future" product bit. I was not clear on the 1st part. Are the USB controllers on the new MBPs and the TBD display, too. I assumed the 3 ports on teh dis[play were just like a mini-hub; my question was directed to whether the laptop cotrolled the spedd or the the monito, too. Both USB3 & USB2 male plugs fit.
thanx.
I wasn't aware of a new Thunderbolt Display. If there is one then I presume you will find that information at Apple's Online Store. As far as the existing Thunderbolt Displays their USB ports are USB 2.0. Port speed is a function of the USB controllers installed. The computer merely contains the needed drivers.
USB3 Ports for Thunderbolt Display?
