the thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adaptor is easy to use and durable

Works, not very exciting, just works.Of course it seems expensive, but what you going to do?

I got this to be able to continue to use my current thunderbolt 2 devices. It seems to work as advertised. Just plug and play typical of Mac devices. No problems with attached drives being recognized. Speeds good.

Very good product and was delivered very fast to me. Best place to buy electronics.

This is a needed accessory to keep use accessories you already have. It's too bad that Apple sets the price so high, it should be half the cost, but otherwise works perfectly and is not bulky.

I bought a new external drive online for my mid 2011 iMac. I did not realize that the Thunderbolt plug had changed dramatically in size. I was happy to find this adapter converted from Thunderbolt 1-2 to the smaller Thunderbolt 3. I was skeptical it would work with my configuration since the packaging implied it was to hook up old Thunderbolt devices to newer Macs. Not the case at all, works great for ‘backwards’ compatibility as well.

Want to buy a new MacBook, but afraid of losing access to your old monitors? This adapter solves that problem by providing you with the ports you want. It's just unfortunate how expensive it was.

Needed the Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter to interface to a computer. A little pricey at $50 but did the job!

this is perfect for allowing to connect regular usb to usb c for apple products

The Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter worked perfect.

So we remodeled our nursery and made it an office/spare bedroom. I was pretty picky about future-proofing components like a Thunderbolt 3/USB-C dock. Our existing MacBook Pro, circa 2013, isn't as future-proof. When you need to connect a Thunderbolt 2 cable to a Thunderbolt 3 dock, this adapter is what you need. I tried a few that weren't made by Apple and they couldn't hack it. Bought this one at Best Buy, voila. Everything works great now. It's a little overpriced for what it is, but you know that when you're head deep in the Apple ecosystem.

Apple adapters are expensive but work great and seem of very high quality. Allows me to use my new MacBook Pro with my Apple Monitor.

Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent !

Works as it should. I bought it as an open box return, so it cost less than buying new from Apple or Best Buy. I have this chained with a FW800 to Tunderbold 3 adapter in order to use a Canon DV camcorder with iMovie.

Works great. I used it to connect an older macbook air (thunderbolt port) to a new macbook air M1 (usb-c port). I used a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable to overcome the connection gender difference. it worked great. Fast and reliable. This would also be good for someone who has legacy thunderbolt storage systems to connect to a computer with usb-c only (such as the new apple M1 laptops and mac mini's).

This overpriced adapter is your only choice for Thunderbolt 2 & 3 compatibility. There are other adapters, such as excellent ones by Kanex, but after all is said and done, this Apple adapter is the only game in town. It works like a charm. I used it for a LaCie Type C Thunderbolt 3 - 12TB Hard Drive. I was then able to chain a USB C to e-SATA raid, using the Kanex adapter into the LaCie, all connected to a MacBook Pro with TB 3. But, $50 bucks? C'mon Apple.

As expected. Works very well. I connected it to a Thunderbolt 3 audio interface, then to a Thunderbolt 2 cable which I plugged into a Caldigit Thunderbolt 2 breakout box, that I connected via a Corning fiber optic Thunderbolt cable that was 15 meters long - appears to work just fine.

Seriously if you have an older thunderbolt 2 Mac and want to connect to a newer Thunderbolt 3/4 display or a new Mac and you have a Thunderbolt Display, this is the able you need. I have used on both a 2013 "trash can" Mac Pro and a 2021 14" Mac Book Pro. Im using dual monitor right now including a old Thunderbolt Display and a new 4k LG thunderbolt.

Works perfectly! Connected an old Mac Display and works like a charm.

I tested the Apple adapter against several 3rd party adapters last year and the Apple one was, in fact, 15% faster. Unless you are backing up with TimeMachine to a fast external SSD it probably isn’t a deal breaker. I copy files to SSD drives frequently enough that it was worth it to me.
