Thanks.īefore I do anything else, please help clear out the following:ġ- Your system is rev -101 which cannot upgrade to TB FW Version 38 and has to stay in version 27 for nowĢ- When previously running TB FW version 19 the TB feature on the NUC was stable and had access to the full PCI bus on the drives allowing native access to SATA for instance on a Thunderbolt 3 dock.ģ- After updating to TB FW 27 PCI or SATA access is no longer available through Thunderbolt 3. Thunderbolt firmware from 27 to say 19?). Also, this behavior includes clean Windows 10 installs - no programs, full updates and current drivers. *** Warning: do NOT rely on the Thunderbolt 3 port Firmware 27 if your data is important to you *** It doesn't matter what Thunderbolt 3 device you attach to the port, it either fails or locks up the machine within a few minutes. Any drive attached is dropped after a few minutes and data written or read is fully corrupted. Any Thunderbolt 3 device attached ends up locking up the machine after a few minutes. Drive performance is < 40 percent of the USB 3 ports - it used to be the other way around. Now, PCI or SATA access is no longer available through Thunderbolt 3. Before it would be incredibly stable and had access to the full PCI bus on the drives allowing native access to SATA for instance on a Thunderbolt 3 dock. That being said, Thunderbolt 3 is entirely unusable right now. The SSU only reports the motherboard version. The SA number is only the bottom of the case and is the number you provided. To save your scan, click on "Next", then "Save".Ĭonfirmed.Click on the menu where it says "Summary" to change to "Detailed View".
By default, Intel® SSU will take you to the "Summary View".
Thank you for posting on the Intel* Community.
Note: You will have to revert to these legacy drivers every time you want to update the firmware because the new drivers will not find the controller and will not start.
Uninstall the old drivers and install the new ones including the Windows 10 app.
Check to see if the Windows 10 Thunderbolt driver is 17.4.77.13.
