Well shit. I assumed I could upgrade my hardrive 5 years from now. External hard drive it’ll be I guess! Good thing usb-c is fast.

On a MacBook Pro they have Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Which are 4x faster than USB-C.

In case anyone else finds this tricky to remember, Thunderbolt 3 is a superset of USB-C.

I see this claim a lot, but the fact that it's so often incompatible with USB-C peripherals gives it the lie.

USB-C is often incompatible with USB-C peripherals. It's not a lie, it's just a bunch of devices that all implement different parts of the spec.

The Thunderbolt 3 port is still there. The USB-C is also Thubderbolt 3 on the pros.
