The second part of our conversation with Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO of Other World Computing (OWC), wraps up the confusion around Thunderbolt versions and hardware. Larry then looks at the opportunities for more creativity with the capabilities of iPhone 15, a new OWC utility that evaluates external drives for video use with it, and a surprising warning for PC users or those using drives with PCs. (Part 2)
