    1. Thunderbolt 2/Thunderbolt compatibility requires a certified Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 (mDP) adapter and a Thunderbolt 2 cable. This configuration provides data transfer at Thunderbolt 2 speeds (up to 20Gb/s) but does not support notebook charging.
    2. Use of HDMI display via Thunderbolt port requires USB-C to HDMI adapter sold separately.
    3. Based on time to transfer 4TB of 4K footage of 1 hour four seconds over 10GbE versus 10 hours forty four seconds over 1GbE.
    4. Router and/or Network Switch must support AVB.
    5. Up to 1630MB/s sequential read and up to 1326MB/s sequential write (max) performance was observed on a Windows 10 Enterprise PC equipped with a Gigabyte motherboard (Z270X-GAMING 7) with an Intel Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz processor and 16GB RAM running CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4, 1GB range, Q8T1. Up to 1547MB/s read and up to 1348MB/s write performance was observed on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) with 8GB RAM and 2.3GHz processor running AJA System Test (5K resolution, 16GB file size, 16bit RGBA codec, single file test). Performance based on OWC Atlas Pro Ultra CFexpress card. Speeds can vary depending on card model and test environment.
    6. Dual display support, including available resolution and refresh rates, is dependent on host hardware and drivers. Apple silicon M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra Mac models, Apple Intel-based Mac models, and Thunderbolt 4 PCs can support up to two displays at up to 4K @ 60Hz via Thunderbolt. Apple silicon M1 and M2 Mac models can support one external display up to 4K @ 60Hz via Thunderbolt.
