MrEprise Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 Are anyone aware of any Business SFF desktops with native Thunderbolt support over USB-C? Trying to set up a desktop for our Music dept to interface with a PreSonus Quantum 2626 which has a Thunderbolt port. I did have @ICTDirect_Dave quote me for a laptop with Thunderbolt (thanks!) but we'd rather have a desktop (or tower). 1
3s-gtech Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 You can buy them as add-ins. https://www.asus.com/uk/motherboards-components/motherboards/accessories/thunderboltex-4/ 1
PotNoodleTech Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 Probably better off getting a PCIE thunderbolt card that can fit in any PC? 1
chazzy2501 Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 That Asus card only supports Asus Motherboards I did a little google-ing and can't find a business class desktop with Thunderbolt.. best I could muster was this HP SFF (not business) PC: https://www.hp.com/gb-en/shop/product.aspx?id=7M501EA&opt=ABU&sel=DTP 1
CHiLL Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 I don't have any actual examples, but I think you could devices with USB4, as it's my understanding that a lot of the thunderbolt technology is also included in the new USB4 specification. 1
ICTDirect_Dave Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 Apparently there's an option port for Thunderbolt for the 800 G6 minis and SFFs. That might be a good one to look at. 1

MrEprise Posted November 6, 2024 Author Posted November 6, 2024 Having now looked into it a bit, I notice that the 800 G5 mini and SFFs also show a Thunderbolt option. I can't find any G6 SFF desktops for sale so it might have to be a G5 I think. 1
ICTDirect_Dave Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 Drop me an email and we'll see what we can sort
