    Allowed me to use my 2019 Macbook Pro with an old thunderbolt display. Works great, but really pricey.

    Built a hackintosh for music production and theven new "type c" usb 3 isn't wide spread yet. Works like a charm! Plug and play. My Apollo twin quad works great with it.

    This is a pricey dongle, but he was able to bring life back to my old Apple thunderbolt display with my MacBook using USB type C. The cable quality is strong, but is short.

    This length is a little short and the next size is way too long for what I needed. Price is expensive Overall it works great and no other complaints other than price and length options.

    I needed to transfer about 80gb of documents from an okd macbook pro to my new macbook air. There isnt a thunderbolt 2 to 3 cable so this adapter was needed. It worked perfectly. But the challenge was then finding a thunderbolt 2 cable which i did find elsewhere. Adapter was a huge help

    Works as expected. I’ve purchased three of these over the last 5 years as I’ve added additional Thunderbolt monitors to my system. They’re pricey but worth it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    When your dock > your MacBook

    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.

    Only choice for Thunderbolt 2 & 3 compatibility

    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.
