Customers are saying

Customers highly value the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter's compatibility with Apple monitors and its ability to connect older Thunderbolt 2 devices to newer Macs. They also appreciate its ease of use and reliable data transfer capabilities, noting its seamless performance. However, some customers find the adapter's price to be a significant drawback. The size of the adapter is also a point of contention for a few users.

    Using this to connect an apple thunderbolt display to a new iMac to use as a second monitor. The great thing is that the thunderbolt ports on the back of the old monitor still work so that I don't need a second adapter to connect my old thunderbolt back-up drive.

    Kept reading that this product didn't work for whole bunches of people. I have an iMac with Thunderbolt 3 ports and a fair number of Thunderbolt 2 peripherals. The cable works for me—thank you, Jesus.

    I didn't think there was a difference in adapters until the insignia adapters I bought stopped working. This one has worked perfectly since I bought it. Used it to connect my thunderbolt external hard drives to a new Imac.

    If you are migrating your external hard drive from an older iMac (Thunderbolt 2) to the newer iMac you're going to need one of these.

    I bought this just to experiment with it. I have a Mac Pro (coffee can version) and was hoping to get USB 3.1 (type c) to interface with the Thunderbolt connectors on my Mac. Not surprisingly, it didn't work. Oh well, I tried, right? Now I can just hang onto it for when I get something with Thunderbolt 3.

    Functions as advertised, note though that you can't use this to hook a DisplayPort video adapter to your Mac, only works for Thunderbolt. I use it to connect my 13" MBP to my 27" Thunderbolt Display. These are regularly around as open box bargains as well, not sure why, but I pretty much just kept checking for one and got it at a good discount.

    I always give high marks for most of Apple's accessories because they are just simply very good, always available, and makes for quick fixes to my configuration needs. Just so overpriced. Oh well.

    This device helps keep older equipment fuctioning along side newer gear. I was able to keep using an older high quality audio interface with my new iMac. Highly recommend if you want to connect older gear with newer gear on an iMac.

    This is an excellent quality Thunderbolt to USB C adapter. If you have an audio interface, like a Universal Audio Apollo Duo for the Mac, you need one of these for sure.

    I needed this adapter, used in series with a firewire-to-thunderbolt2 adapter to run an old firewire device. This is the only way I found to connect my firewire device to my 2018 mac mini.
