Is this a Thunderbolt 2 or 3? null

According to this answer on the Apple website it is Thunderbolt 2. https://www.apple.com/shop/question/answers/product/MD463LL/A/is-this-thunderbolt-3/QX9YP97ATH7KUJPU9

This has the Thunderbolt 1 and 2 male connector. You'll need the Thunderbolt 1 or 2 female connector on your computer or your peripheral hub in order to use it to connect to your Gigabit Ethernet/router. IF you need to connect though a Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C port. I recommend the Insignia, plug and play, Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (NS-PUCGE8).

Here is a photo of the power adapter

Neither. It's a USB-C drive, which shares an identical interface with Thunderbolt 3. So, for example, if you have a MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 3 ports, you can plug this drive into one of them and it will work because those ports also work with USB-C. It is definitely NOT Thunderbolt 2 or 1, different size interface. You would not used it with a Thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter because you could just as easily use the provided USB-3 cable and go directly to the older computer that way.
