As Apple increasingly moves to Thunderbolt 5, some interesting devices are emerging that take advantage of this new interface. A couple that stand out, both from OWC: the OWC Envoy Ultra Thunderbolt 5 Drive (in 2- and 4-terabyte capacity), the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub. There’s also the CalDigit Element5 Hub. Of course OWC and CalDigit are at the front of the pack, but I expect we’ll see more Thunderbolt 5 devices appear in the near future.

OWC’s Thunderbolt 4 Cable
There are so many problems with cables these days. The fact that Thunderbolt uses the same connector as USB-C means that often you’ll use the wrong cable and lose the benefits of Thunderbolt.
For awhile I’ve been looking for a vendor to make reliable Thunderbolt 4 cables without paying Apple’s prices. OWC’s new $24 Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C cable fits the bill. It is universal for everything, which should make it the only cable you need. I like the price. I like the vendor. I’ll be buying a few.
