Quick Look: TDBT HybridHub-S

Darksaber · Aug 6, 2021

The TDBT HybridHub-S very much looks like most other USB-C hubs out there, with its ports and metal housing. However, the ability to install an M.2 SATA SSD within its core sets it apart from the crowd.

Hi!
Thanks for the quick look... but please correct that mistake - as the device does not have any Thunderbolt ports nor connectivity... it is only Thunderbolt 3 with USB-C compatible.
"They sent us the HybridHub-S, which offers all the usual I/O of a Thunderbolt-based hub"
"On the other is a Thunderbolt port with 100 W power delivery capability to charge your device."
It's simply USB-C with PD ^^
Thanks

yea good point will edit that to make it clearer. The company brand tdbt stands for Thunderbolt, thus the lean towards Thunderbolt.

What features require thunderbolt?
Like, what'd not work if this was connected to a regular USB-C port, android device etc
