    Stumbled upon your video. Great vid. Sub'ed. The TS4's Power supply is 230W, whilst the Element Hub's is 150W. Identical physical size though. Great observation on the angled cord!

    Thanks for the great info and very well edited! I think you should add a few seconds of fade to black or something though, the video cut off in the middle of your last word.

    Nice details and breakdown...Now with all these ports, do they share bandwidth or are the all independent and each will get the full 10Gbit/s or 40Gbit/s. In other words, If I connect 2 TB4 cables will the ports share and now I am down to 20GBits/s? Thank you...

    Can one CalDigit TS4 support --- 6k pro display XDR + (x2)LG DualUp?
    How does the bandwidth for other stuff affect after connecting to high end displays like above-mentioned? I mean the total accumulated speed can't exceed 40 GBPS.

    Thanks for the review. Do you have experience with the TS3 Plus? I was wondering how they compare in the real world. (They don't sell TS4 here in Canada and importing it is expensive.)

    • @KaroCodes
      @KaroCodes  Рік тому +1

      I personally haven't used TS3+ but my friend has it for over a year now, while using basically the same setup/equipment as me. He's happy with it and doesn't feel the need to upgrade. It probably really depends on the amount of equipment you have connected and if any of that is bandwidth sensitive. In my case I want to be sure that my camera/CamLink get the best data transfers possible so that my video looks good 😁

      Oh cool! Just double checked and you're right - CalDigit TS3 (Thunderbolt 3) supports 2x 4K, just not 8k. Not sure about other docks. Thanks for flagging 🙏
