Right! Thank you for the reply mate! Top one! My Thunderbolt is onboard, but I can't post with it turned on. What are the BIOS settings and that, I'm trying a Ventura installer fresh cause I feel like my DTST is causing it, not to pot because of BIOS changes. I'm not in the slightest interested in Thunderbolt for Windows.

Its for DAW work just like yourself. :):)

Cheers mate.

An important one for me was making sure TBT Host Router was set to [One port]. That will take ya down.

Can you send the SSDT you're using for to enable Thunderbolt?

Also can you send a screen shot like this? (spotlight search System Report)

That's how it should be for you. No need to send anything. You're all set! I mean, there will be nuances, but you'll learn them.

NA! IT'S NOT SHOWING, BUT ITS READING AND WRITING AT 1800 MB'S. Why am I shouting? :)

I guess it works. A WD SN850X is on its way. ATM. I'll try that over TB when it comes. What's hot plug? Like on and off?

Hot plug is the ability to plugin or turn on a device, and it working. Otherwise you have to turn on device then reboot.

Yeh, that's how its working. But I can't see the bus speed as its higher than USB 3, I think at 1800MB's, but can't really figure out what is using speed wise,. It shows up as a PCI device in HackIntool.

So it looks like I'm on PCI express 3. Does this look correct?

On a real Mac does this connect as a Thunderbolt device as opposed to the USB Bus of a Thunderbolt Controller?
