A Thunderbolt 4 port is available for resource-demanding peripherals such as displays, storage arrays, hubs, and more. Two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports give you up to 10 Gb/s data transfer speeds along with DisplayPort technology; however, one port also offers Power Delivery capabilities, allowing you to support various hubs for passthrough laptop charging.
