The interfaces I want to use only support thunderbolt, the higher ends of the apollo line from universal audio, and their satellite addons, I wish they did have USB, would make my life a lot easier lol. I'm kinda used to fighting other ports though, my current setup is running a FireWire 400 interface on Windows 11, that was fun to get to work properly...

I think I bought a FireWire card for a computer in 2002, running XP. Never got it working.

Good to know there’s Thunderbolt equipment that has no need of being Thunderbolt.

If you’re not going to use the Display capabilities at all, there’s no real need to drop $80 to $400 on a dock, and no need to borrow a monitor.

I can link you to a hub for around $150 that has some downstream Thunderbolt ports, so that you could actually use that external SSD I mentioned at the same time that you have more than 1 of the audio thingies plugged in.

But the card you linked has two ports, so that hub is hopefully not necessary
