USB Connection Information — USB and Thunderbolt monitor for Mac. It sits in your menu bar and shows the real negotiated speed of every connected device, so you'll know the moment a "10Gbps" cable is actually crawling along at USB 2.0. Check live charger wattage, device power draw, and which drives belong to which devices. No more guessing whether your dock is throttled or your cable is the weak link.
