So I’ve been upgrading all week and improving client’s transmission speeds.
Most music production systems still run TB2 so upgraging to TB3 now will have you ready for when it’s becomes the industry standard.
If your mobo supports Thunderbolt technology, then add a TB3 PCIe card to connect all your gear. Amazon.com: Asus Motherboard Accessory THUNDERBOLTEX 3/C/SI 1xPort Thunderbolt 3 USB3.1 PCIE4 Card : Electronics
A video capture card from Aja will take 4x HDMI 4K, HD, SD feeds directly bypassing USB and SATA busses and takes all the heavy lifting away from your CPU.
