    I had several Thunderbolt 2.0 adapters from my previous MacBook Pro, and no way to use them with the USB-C model. This adapter works exactly as needed, and you can chain adapters together if you find yourself needing to connect that legacy Firewire 400 device.

    As advertised, this adaptor worked to get my Thunderbolt 2 dock connected to my new MacBook Pro. It even helped transfer files from my old laptop too!

    I have been using this adapter for a while now and it is working well. There are some gotchas with this adapter and I have made 3 youtube videos about them: 1. Not working with USB C 3.1 gen 2 SSD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AADSbBEheRw 2. Not working with Thunderbolt 3 SSD:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNm8N6c1h5I 3. How to get this adapter to work with an SSD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYE1G6AvjE4 Hope this helps someone.

    Worked as expected. I wish it would’ve been a bit more affordable, seems a bit much for an adapter but unfortunately I had no choice as I needed it for work.

    Older hard drives that are good enough on older iMacs with Thunderbolt 2 interface work just fine on the newest iMac with Thunderbolt 3 USB-C interface. I recommend it.

    Get a third party adapter instead of this.

    Way over priced for what you're getting. Do yourself a favor and get a 3rd party adapter. Yes it works fine but cost 5x more than the others.

    I did not want to buy this but Apple made it one of these must have devices to use the new Mac so all I can say is it does the trick. It works as expected and has a price to match Apple.
