A Thunderbolt hub or dock will almost certainly solve both the power and protocol problems. There will be people tempted to use non-compliant adapters because they are cheap, but please avoid the temptation for a $7 solution to a $170 problem as it could mean doing $700 in damage to your gear if the experiment fails. | |
