In Mac OS X, the thunderbolt devices look like this in IORegistryExplorer.app: The screenshot shows the hard drive is a Hitachi drive.

The screenshot shows the AKiTiO Thunder3 Duo Pro uses an Asmedia 106x SATA/RAID Controller. There's a screenshot of the Device Manager in the link I posted earlier. If your partitions don't mount, then you should at least see the disk controller in the Device Manager in Windows, or in Mac OS X. I have MacDrive 10 to mount Apple disks, even APM disks. It uses the APM (Apple Partition Map) instead of GPT or MBR. I used an old 2.5" FireWire drive in the AKiTiO Thunder3 Duo Pro. It shouldn't matter how the drive is partitioned or how it is formatted. Hope this can get figured out as the ability to use TB drives would be a huge help to my video editing workflow which has been hampered by Apple twiddling their thumbs on releasing TB3 equipped computers. Joevt- what filesystem is your TB3 drive formatted with?

Will tinker again in a week or so when I have more free time.- Maybe start with confirming that TB2 drives can mount via paragon or such in windows 10 and then maybe order a tb3 drive to test. Still no Thunderbolt hardware found in sys report. (Windows isn't mounting them, but it could be because they are mac formatted and I didn't want to dive into paragon or such in windows which I barely ever use to get them to mount- figured that if windows thunderbolt app is seeing them on the bus that things are working?)Īnd then I tried your settings and also security level legacy to see if I could get them to show up in osx, but no dice. When I connect the Startech TB3 to TB to some G-Raid TB2 drives I have, Windows sees them and asks if I always want to allow them to mount- obvious yes. Ok- just went through the process of reflashing mobo bios to f5 (latest) and booting in windows 10, installing Tb3 driver, and then using gigabyte's tool to flash the tb firmware successfully in windows 10. I should have ordered it from a store that had them in stock. My Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt adapter won't arrive for awhile. OS X doesn't see anything for Thunderbolt in the system report.
In the BIOS -> Peripherals -> Intel(R) Thunderbolt -> Use the Thunderbolt software to enable the device.

I got the Thunderbolt 3 and the drive working in Windows first (download the Thunderbolt driver by downloading it from the motherboard support website, and use it to update the Thunderbolt firmware).Ĭonnect the drive, and Windows should detect it. I don't know what steps are required to make it work. None of the graphics limitations matter once you add a graphics card though since you'll probably use that instead of the integrated graphics. This explains why the Gaming 7 uses a separate HDMI chip for HDMI 2.0 output. If it cannot, then it means that it cannot do 4K at 60Hz.ĭual mode Display Port supports HDMI 1.4 which is limited to or Hz. The Micro ATX version has 3 video ports already, so I don't know if it will allow a display connected to the USB port alternate mode. The Mini-ITX and ATX versions might allow a third display from the USB-C port using USB-C alternate mode. The Micro ATX and Mini-ITX have a single link DVI-D port. The ATX also has a DisplayPort 1.2 connector. The Gaming 5 comes in 3 sizes: ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini-ITX. The Gaming 5 uses that controller only for USB 3.1.
The Gaming 5 does not have Thunderbolt 3 even though it uses the same Alpine Ridge controller as other Gigabyte motherboards that do have Thunderbolt 3. You can use a Thunderbolt or DisplayPort or HDMI, or DVI, or Dual Link DVI, or VGA display with appropriate adapters. MacBook Pro has two Thunderbolt ports using the Mini DisplayPort connector.
