The ZDMA Thunderbolt is the first Thunderbolt device on the market. It offers a massive performance boost over any device on the market. 3-4x faster than the competition. This card is a beast.
Being Thunderbolt, the device connects over a PCI interface rather than an FTDI USB port. The benefit is performance, whereas the cost is a Driver required on the Attacker machine. If you're OK installing questionable unsigned drivers on your PC, this thing is great (the driver will soon be signed and vetted by microsoft).
The device has **3** USB-C style ports. One is an update port which I have not yet tested. The other **2** ports are both DATA ports for the card, you can use either.
