Used Brydge Stone Pro 12-Port Universal Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station

The term, "Thunderbolt" is a brand name of a hardware interface for the connection of external devices to a computer. Thunderbolt 3 has been on people's radar for a while due to its ability to carry a video signal using the DisplayPort protocol (provides an expandable foundation allowing for an amazing digital display experience and is mostly used by desktop computers, laptops and projectors), charge connected devices, allow for transfer speeds beyond what a simple USB can manage and more.

To break it down further, Thunderbolt is a cable connection interface that supports fast data transfer, high resolution video and charging - all at the same time. So instead of having multiple ports with different purposes, a Thunderbolt port can do multiple things simultaneously.

Today, Thunderbolt 4 is starting to take over for Thunderbolt 3. TB4 carries with it a number of updates. Minimum video support has been upped with at least support for two 4K displays at 60Hz or one 8K display at 30Hz. Comparably, while TB3 can handle dual displays with the right setup, it only needs to handle a single 4K display to be called Thunderbolt 3.

Thunderbolt 4 also requires double the amount of PCIe bandwidth (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express - think add-on devices having to do with graphics, memory and storage) at 32Gbps compared to Thunderbolt 3's 16Gbps. This means that if you're using a hard drive, you'll see transfer speeds up to about 3,000MB/s (super fast!). TB4's extra bandwidth is especially appealing to gamers, as it allows them to turn a laptop (such as an UltraBook) into a serious gaming machine.

To sum it up, Thunderbolt 4 guarantees better performance. While Thunderbolt 3 is a great alternative and can do a whole lot, Thunderbolt 4 is the way to go if you're a power user wanting the best option heading into the future.
