Thunderbolt Success: Tested Thunderbolt Setup for macOS
Due to the huge success reports from users, it made more sense to create a dedicated thread for the setup used to achieve Thunderbolt functionality. The following table contains the list of the Hardware setup, reported by several users of this forum. If you have any success to report, let us know and it will be added accordingly.
Note that this is not a Thunderbolt support thread. This thread is only meant for reporting success. Further, this is not the complete list of where Thunderbolt works, there are many others. For Thunderbolt Support, check out the guides linked below.
