Asus ProArt B550 Creator featuring Ryzen processor and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity
Hey! It seems like your setup is working fine when you test individual devices, but things get tricky when multiple peripherals are connected together. You mentioned removing the M.2 adapter and seeing everything function normally in BIOS, which suggests the issue might be related to how the motherboard handles bandwidth sharing or driver conflicts. Trying to connect just the T3 drive without any other devices might help isolate the problem.
I checked it recently and noticed the T3 drive appears in TCC on both ports, though only detected via Windows Explorer on port 1. It seems to be behaving oddly—maybe related to the port or my old drive. I don’t like LaCie or Thunderbolt options; it powers up automatically when connected. Other similar issues popped up with USB 4.0 connections on those type C ports, especially with my iPhone, but not with Windows or iTunes (sometimes briefly). On Android devices, it works perfectly via USB-C to USB-C without adapters. I think the problem lies with Apple, iTunes, and USB 4.0 support. For now, the two USB 4.0 ports are functioning better than before, so I’m unlikely to use T3 for external drives again. Hope this helps—thanks for the info!
