Trying to set up a fast way to move file from my Laptop to my MS-S1 MAX using a nvme usb4 adapter.
But if I plug into a USB4 plug looking at the logs it keep restarting and doesn't work , but it in a USB3-10GB port it works and say it is USB2 device and runs at 40MB/S , I installed ( apt install bolt ) and got the thunderbolt 5 ports working partly , but look to be running at thunderbolt 2 speeds .
Nov 30 19:39:14 ave kernel: thunderbolt 2-0:2.1: new retimer found, vendor=0x7fea device=0x1033
Other than using a USB3-10GB adapter instead of a USB4 one what can I do ?
 
thats a bold claim. you should verify its not a hardware issue first.
does the same hardware (computer and usb adapter) work on windows with full speed?
use a different disk, install windows on it, boot it and test the same adapters.
if it works on windows, its a software issue, if not its a compatibility/hardware issue.
 
It does work in windows 11 correct , but it's a can't win case in Linux/promox , you can't pass it to a windows 11 VM because the USB 4 is part of the chip set driver which will not install , but in proxmox it will see USB 4 as USB hi-speed , The thunderbolt 5 is seen as thunderbolt 2 .
But the USB 3 port work as USB 3 , for this is the only computer with USB 4 I don't know how OR if USB 4 works normally on Linux/proxmox .
