Customers value the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter's compatibility with Apple monitors and its ability to connect Thunderbolt 2 devices to newer USB-C ports. They also appreciate its ease of use and generally reliable data transfer speeds. However, some customers find the adapter's price to be high and its size somewhat large.

    Adapter for audio I/O use

    Purchased a direct thunderbolt iii/USB-c to thunderbolt ii/i adapter for use with iMac 2020 and UAudio Apollo Twin Audio Interface. I wanted a direct connection (no hub) for my audio interface. So working extremely well with Catalina. The adapter works equally well with Big Sur beta OS but uaudio software needs some updating still but doesn't affect audio performance.

    After changing computers I didn't want to replace my completely functional peripherals just because they were Thunderbolt 1, and this was a welcome buy. It's pretty straightforward, in that it allows you to connect a Thunderbolt 1/2 device/plug into a Thunderbolt 3 device/plug. It's a little pricey, but it's better than buying replacements for $1,000 worth of peripherals.

    I had a bunch of Thunderbolt 2 adapters from my 2015 MacBook Pro that I wanted to use with my 2018 MacBook Pro and this adapter did the trick. Now I can use all of my old adapters and don't have to buy new ones. This allows you to plug your old Thunderbolt 2 gear or adapters into this Thunderbolt 3 adapter and then it plugs right into the USB-C port on your Mac. It's expensive for what it does so I knocked off 1 star but it does work as advertised.

    Excellent dongle, allows me to use a 27-inch Apple Studio Display on my newer 2017 MacbookPro with Thunderbolt 3 ports. Doesn't charge through the connector, but all other functionality is retained (3x USB-A, Ethernet, SCSI connector). Works like it did on my previous MacBook Pro (except charge).

    These adapters fit well. Not too tight but, a good fit. I've 4 ports on my laptop. Newer items are equipped with the new type of connectors. By having this I have extended the life of many of my older accessories. APPLE stuff is always quality.

    Great product. Does what it’s meant to do. Love Best Buy. Would always rather purchase from Best Buy then from Amazon. With Best Buy I know I’m getting a real product and not a counterfeit.

    An Apple Dongle Worth the Hassle

    A "must-have" for anyone with Thunderbolt 2 peripherals, Mac or PC. Yes, it is a hassle having to buy another $50 dongle for my computers; however, this one is worth it as it keeps my mission critical Thunderbolt 2 devices relevant in a Thunderbolt 3 world. They 'just work'.

    This adapter does what a adapter is supposed to do. I used this for my apple thunder bolt monitor and it works like a charm. A little pricey but other than that, a great product.

    USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 connector....

    I recently bought a new MBP - which is awesome, BTW - but have lots of LaCie external drives, all of which use Thunderbolt-2. This seems to be the only way to connect them to the new machine. I tried a USB-C docking station with a TB-2, but those all turned out to only be DisplayPort connectors. This was a little pricey, but it works great.

    Apple seems to be the only source for this adapter. No less expensive alternatives out there yet. I needed it for my 2019 MacBook Pro, which only has USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) ports. It works perfectly to connect my Thunderbolt 2 external hard drive.

    Typical overpriced Apple Dongle, but if you need it, you need it. No complaints on functionality or quality - it does what it's supposed to do, and likely will continue to do so for a long time.
