USB4

These are XHCI drivers, or they were at least initially based upon XHCI drivers, which added USB 2.0 support to some of these older operating systems.

But these add, as mentioned, USB 3.0, USB 4.0. I'm not sure I was even aware that that was a thing.

And Thunderbolt to Windows 98 through 7.

And indeed...

there has been some LLM involvement in this.

So on Windows 98, USB 3.0 speed caps out at around 200 megabytes per second, restricted by Windows 98's maximum request limit of 64K on USB transfers.

But, you know, at least it supports USB 3.0. There's also experimental USB 4.0 and Thunderbolt support.

So, yeah, that's...

...

NVMe to a USB4 [laughs] that I could plug the USB4 d- well, I, I could do, I could do something crazy with it, uh, or something.

Oh.

[laughs] Matthew Strider in chat says, uh, "Long PCIe card is loong," [laughs] as in Loong Arch.

Nothing really else to do.

This reader itself is USB4.

The reader itself is rated for speeds up to 3300 megabytes a second read and 3000 megabytes a second write.

In our testing on multiple different systems, that write score was not close to that.

speed data speed works the same way behind that same connector you might have old usb 2.0 speeds or usb 4 at 40 gigabytes per second or the newest tier at 80 and the port doesn't tell you which one you're getting video same story thunderbolt actually guarantees a floor for bandwidth, for displays, for accessory power.

Playing USB4 guarantees a lot less.

Same plug, different promises.

And this is where my world comes in, the circuit board.

[laughs]

... without a conventional Thunderbolt or USB4 connection, uh, to your computer or a, or, or whatever it is.

Um, but that, it'll be a computer, sorry.

Uh, the, the claim supports the GPU can, can do up to an RTX 1590.
