Do You Know the difference between Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1

We note the rapid development in the field of technology, and among this development are USB ports where they were developed to support data transfer at high speeds compared to the past and one of these ports is the Type-C port. Double-sided, which supports very fast 

transfer speeds compared to previous generations, but you do not know exactly which protocol belongs whether Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.1 - here lies the problem for that in this 

the post we will explain the difference between them.

The current top version of USB is USB 3.1 Gen 2 and it supports transfer speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) and this represents a quarter of the maximum speed of Thunderbolt 3 which is 40 Gbit per second, but Thunderbolt 3 is a data transmission and media protocol developed by Intel In technical cooperation with Apple, it appeared for the first time in the MacBook Pro generation 2011 devices and the inclusion of this protocol in various electronic devices and equipment manufacturers need to obtain a certificate from Intel first, which is not accepted by most of these companies
When you have a USB Type-C cable and you want to know whether or not Thunderbolt 3 the lightning bolt sign should be similar to what you see in the picture

Thunderbolt 3 can also work as a USB port and when connected to a device it does not support it downs to the level of the USB protocol which means that the transfer speed will be limited to the USB speeds of the connected device and not to the amazing Thunderbolt speeds but the opposite is not possible then the USB port will not work as Thunderbolt 3

With Thunderbolt 3 you can also create a wiring diagram and connect six additional devices to the base device. That is, you connect device A to Thunderbolt 3 port on the laptop, then you connect device A to device B and so on
Thunderbolt 3 support computers:
MacBook, Mac Pro, or iMac
