More excellent information on USB4. I love the various USB analyzing/discovery softwares. Very eye opening advice regarding cable length, controller chips, and enclosures. The videos you have made over the years have really helped to expand my IT knowledge. Thanks again and Be Blessed!
I always look forward to your videos with great anticipation. You are a source of inspiration for me and for all the tech enthusiasts for whom IT is a way of life. I will make sure to become a member of your channel and will encourage my colleagues in the IT field to do the same with great pleasure , Please keep surprising us with such videos and detailed explanations. Thank you and good luck to you
Another carefully researched, high quality video. Packed with useful information. Thank you. I am currently researching the impact of using magnetic USB C connectors. They reduce wear on USB C ports, for example on laptops and phones. The apps you detail here will help with assessing how these connectors impact USB performance.
Very interesting, the impact of a permanent magnetic field is not a problem for electrical signals, but a changing magnetic field would cause interference. Should not be a problem.
Hi Very good video. Keep going. If I can sugest you can show some more USB tools. For example tools with which we can check if our USB stick is legitimate product or fake chineese product like tool validrive or hwtest2. Or for example how to change "hardware" presentation on windows for some USB drives. Show how to change that USB drive is installed and presented in Windows like hard drive. Because for some situatiion people need that. Anyway I watch your videos and like your presentation, keep going with these videos!? Cheers and good luck!
Steve Gibson has a great piece of software for checking fake USB flash drives, called ValiDrive: www.grc.com/validrive.htm Be very carefully with cheap very large flashdrives, SD cards.
You didn't mention anything about the device drivers for USB 4 ? i found over the years that you can not connect USB devices directly to a computer. You need to have some type of USB hub or docking station to suppy the current and to prevent the voltage drop over long wires Once the 5 volt rail drops , the device stops working or thee performance goes way down on external hard drives USB should be data lines only to the internal hub bus and a external hub supplying the voltage and current Some of my Aegia hard drives are like that where you have to plug in a 12 volt supply to make them run and the USB cable is for sending and receiving data
Great point early versions of USB did not enough power delivery to run USB HDs. They required external power supplies. But M.2 SSDs and USB versions 3.2 will be able to power these devices with no problem. Type C connectors are rated at 5A and can provide 100W. USB4 device drivers are few, time will tell.
