Hi, I have a Thunderbolt 2 5Big from LaCie. My old Apple setup is behind me, and now I use an AMD Windows PC. I’m curious if it’s possible to connect this drive via the USB 3.2 GEN 2 port on my motherboard. I remember it worked on an Intel laptop with a 3.1 USB port—maybe there’s a similar port here? I had to install several Thunderbolt drivers, and I’m not sure how to get it set up properly. Any tips or details from that machine could help? My system has the AMD Ryzen 5950x and Asus Helios case (also has a C-type port).
