The NVIDIA Turing USB Type-C also supports storage drives, peripherals and even monitors

Although the USB Type-C port of the NVIDIA Turing is designed for virtual reality glasses, it also supports peripherals and storage units.

The new NVIDIA graphics cards of Turing architecture are giving a lot to talk about with respect to all the technologies that they implement. These graphics in addition to innovating in architecture, technologies and heatsink, also implement a USB Type-C Virtual Link. This connector has been designed for the next generation virtual reality glasses, which are being delayed infinitely. Now it has been known to support any USB device, so we can connect any storage unit or peripheral to this graph.

NVIDIA Turing USB Type-C supports external components

This has been discovered by Digital Foundry, who has plugged in an ADATA SX8600 Pro NVMe SSD drive. This drive has come to offer 750MB / s, well off the 3000MB / s on a motherboard. They have also connected a USB 3.0 HUB that has seven USB 3.0 ports which work perfectly. A keyboard, mouse, memory card reader, and USB drive have been connected to this. A smartphone has also been connected for charging and file transfer, headphones have been connected, an Ethernet adapter and even a 4K display has been connected.

Although this NVIDIA feature may not seem very interesting, it does have its own in case additional ports are needed. The biggest downside to this port is that it does not have Thunderbolt 3 support. Basically it is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port that is limited to 10Gbps (Thunderbolt 3 offers 40Gbps). Users can take advantage of it to connect other devices and even a 4K monitor for gaming or professional work.
