Seeing the new Mac Studio with it's 4 Thunderbolt 4 connections I'm wondering if those could be used to connect to my Avid DNxIO which has Thunderbolt 2 connection. I've always controlled it through a PCIe cable from MacPro 5.1. Would it make more sense to get a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 expansion chassis and put my PCIe card in that? I seem to recall years back there was mention that using Thunderbolt to the DNxIO had certain limits that the PCIe didn't. This was a while ago but just curious what possibilities there are to go from the TB 4 to TB 2. I have some TB2 to TB3 adapter cables that worked on an external self powered drive array but I've less than glowing reviews of these adapters.
