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.

great way to still utilize my thunderbolt display with my new m4 mac mini.

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

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.

If you have a Thunderbolt 2 Apple computer and have a Thunderbolt 3 device, You'll need this adapter. Worked perfect

Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent !

Great Apple connector to connect older Apple Thunderbolt display to device with USB-C ports or Thunderbolt 3 dock. Simple to connect.

I needed to get some video off of an old hard drive that used FireWire 800. I used this, along with a FireWire to Thunderbolt 2 to create a daisy chain so that I could download to my new MacBook Pro. Worked like a charm. I don’t really have much more use for it, but glad I bought it as it was video from when my son was a baby. I got my open box, I suspect someone returned it after one use which I think it shady, but at least I saved a bit of money on the deal.

I'm not surprised that there are so many complaints about this adapter (and most of the other Apple adapters, as well). If people would just read the product name, the description and do a little research, they wouldn't encounter so many issues with this adapter connecting to legacy (or incompatible) products. For what I need it (connecting a USB-C port to a Thunderbolt hard drive), it just works. The connection on both ends are secure and easily made.

The adapter perfectly suited my needs, and was available at Best Buy the same day I needed it. I can always count on Best Buy to provide products of high quality.

The TB3<->TB2 adapter was purchased to connect a Sonnet Breakaway Box that has a native TB3 to older MacBook Air/Pro's that use TB2/TB1. The external enclosure was for an eGPU that was to be used under Windows 10 (Bootcamp on Macbook). With some minor tweaks the respective laptops were able to have Windows 10 recognize the GPU located inside the Sonnet enclosure and have the respective driver installed and operate the external card.

Works great. saved me a few times with speed. One thing to keep in mind that this only works with a thunderbolt 3 port and not USB-C 3.0. A lot of people make that mistake and doesn't work. Used this to connect the Thunderbolt 3 port on a G-Drive to a MacBook Pro and/or Mac Pro w/ TB 2 and worked like a charm allowing me to get TB2 speeds which is still way better than 3.0

Allowed me to use my Caldigit Thunderbolt 2 docking station with the newer MacBooks that have T3 ports. Don't confuse the USB-C size (same as T3) with the speed! You can get USB-C adaptors that will fit the MacBooks but they do not have the same speed as Thunderbolt 3 (obviously, if you don't need TB speeds you can get regular USB-C adaptors). I gave off a star because when I move the laptop around my desk, the connector comes off easily (disconnecting hard drives, etc. from the computer) - wish it connected tighter.

Got a new Macbook recently and it has the USB C/Thunderbolt 3 ports. This adapter works perfect, no complaints!

I use this to connect my new usb-c MacBook Pro to my Mac Cinema Display, works perfectly.

Bought a couple of these to connect my older TB 2 accessories to my new Mac book pro with TB3 only. Just lame that its kinda expensive.

Purchased this so that I can connect my new MacBook Pro to the 2011 iMac that I have to use as monitor. Don't buy third-parties adapter that has the same input and output because thunderbolt 2 and displayport for Macs aren't the same (even though they have identical slot) and they won't work. This one is pricey but it's the only one works if you want to keep using your old Apple Monitors or iMacs as monitors.

This product does what it says, which is allowing you to plug a Thunderbolt 2 device into your USB-C Macbook

Great little adapter. Use it for external sound card and no issues.

Solid construction. Works as advertised. Too expensive. I wish the cable was longer.
