The dual Thunderbolt™ 3 ports allows users to daisy-chain extra Thunderbolt™ 3 Type-C devices. In fact users can connect up to 6 devices, such as the CalDigit T4 RAID, to one computer’s Thunderbolt™ 3 port. This means that users can add a Thunderbolt™ 3 monitor, or any other Thunderbolt™ 3 device to the second Thunderbolt™ 3 port for added convenience.
