spare thunderbolt and usb ports disabled when i connect my Akitio Node w/ 1080 to thunderbolt port (2015 15in macbook pro)


Recommended Posts

i have a 2015 MBP, 2x thunderbolt 2, and i use one thunderbolt port for ethernet but when i plug in my Node, the ethernet thunderbolt connection is disabled and i cannot see my external HDD in windows explorer... apparently my 1080 (gigabyte g1) is only supposed to draw about 225W, and the node suppliese 400W.... someone said it could be a powerdraw issue, requiring more powerful PSU in the node, but i need help with this

 

the 1080 is recognised in device manager. but i haven't yet got it to work, if anyone can help with that too....

i think i have solved this by cold plugging instead of hot plugging, although i do see the egpu when hotplugging, and have plugged/unplugged ports while connected, it seems to be more successful when cold plugged.
