Windows/Linux only, no macOS support at all.

Has a physical bandwidth switch: in "4K Mode" the Gigabit Ethernet and UHS-II card reader drop to 480Mbps and every USB port degrades to USB 2.0 speed; "HD Mode" restores full USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet but caps video lower. Not supported on macOS at all — Windows 10 and Linux only.
