[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1900122, member: 396914"] Some answers, as best I know. There will be throttling if all of the ports are driving at full speed. The interface to the Mac is 40Gbps, so if you plug in, and use, three 40Gbps devices, they will have to share the pipe to the Mac. That is theoretical, of course, as it is a bit unrealistic to be in that mode. What is more likely is that the heaviest mode would be copying from one drive attached to the hub to another drive attached to the same hub. You can read more at Wikipedia: [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface)#Thunderbolt_4"]Thunderbolt (interface) - Wikipedia[/URL] As for the power, the Mac is powered through the USBc port (or can be--mine also has MagSafe3). The 100w is the OUTPUT of the hub. It comes with its own power supply, can be used to power the MBP to which it is attached, if needed. [/QUOTE]
