Hi,
I have a 15 inch retina MBP mid 2015 which has two thunderbolt 2 ports and two USB-3 ports and I recently purchased an external drive WD My Passport Ultra with USB-C/USB-3 connectors. Besides the fact that I can connect the drive to the MBP through USB-3, I would like to connect the external...
Hi, I'm looking to finally get an external SSD (preferably 1tb) for my 256gb early 2015 13" MBP to keep my FCPX libraries on. I guess only the thunderbolt ones will make the idea work?
I don't have a huge budget for this so is the idea just not a smart one, or is there a good Thunderbolt 2 SSD...
Im about to get delivery of a Black Magic pocket 4k that records to an SSD. The SSD is connected by USB C but my MacBook only has thunderbolt 2 and USB 3 ports.
I know you can get adaptor cables but is this all just snake oil here. Has anyone actually done it and got it to work successfully...
I have a Thunderbolt 2 port free on a Mac mini (Late 2014).
I'd like to get some more storage, but thus far not seeing much (if any!) Thunderbolt 2 SSD enclosures.
Any help or advice?
Thanks!
Hey guys,
Here are the specs of my iMac:
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)
Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
It is still a pretty capable machine (just annoyed by the black fogginess on the bottom of the screen), but I made the mistake...
Hello dear users!
BEWARE this post is long-ish..
I decided to step up my music production game and I am slowly planning on selling my good ol' Tower Mac Pro 2008. I recently bought an iMac 2015 that was on sale locally on Gumtree. Beautiful machine with 64GB Ram, i7 processor, 2tb fusion...
Hi All,
I'm looking to buy an external SSD and make it bootable for my late 2015 iMac. I'm open to any suggestions, but I'm thinking of this as a single dedicated drive (I don't need multidrive units). It's a 5k display, with USB 3 and Thunderbolt 2 ports. I'm looking for the fastest option...
Hi everyone!
I just picked up a really good deal on an Apple Thunderbolt Display that I couldn't pass up to use with my Macbook Pro 13" Touch Bar (2017 model).
It sounds like the definition of "first world problem", but i'm trying to come up with a "one cable solution" that would allow me to...
Another MacBook Air 13" 2015 connected to my MacBook Pro 15" 2016 as Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Target Disk Mode is failed right now!
I'm not happy.

MacBook Air is designed for under 21 years old.

Does anyone have experience running a OWC Envoy Pro EX High-Performance Bus-Powered SSD w/Thunderbolt 3 on a Mac Pro 6,1? Since TB2 can theoretically transfer data at 2500 MBps, is should be able to transfer close to it's (real) speed of 730MBps Write / 1000MBps Read.
Anyone do a speed test of...
How can I connect my old Apple Thunderbolt display to my iMac 5k 2017 USB-C ? Do I need the very expensive Apple adapter or there is some competition around? I looked around but couldn't find any so far, a lot of mini-display connectors but I'm not sure it will work with my Thunderbolt Display...
I just got an iMac 2017 that comes with 2 usb-c ports and I have two external thunderbolt 2 disks
Is there any hub that has multiple ports including thunderbolt 2?
I've been reading to exhaustion but couldn't find anything so far , just the super expensive Apple adapter.
Plus it would be great...
Hello all,
Does anybody know if:
Thunderbolt 2 to USB-A cables ever existed?
I can't find any online and that seems strange.
There a plenty of Thunderbolt 3 to USB A cables but I can't find anything for thunderbolt 2.
I want one because I've already used up my two USB A ports on my MacBook...
I'm thinking of buying a Macbook Air now (mid 2017 model).
Will there by any problems using my old 27" Cinema Display with it? I can see that MBA still has Thunderbolt 2, and that is backward compatible? (unlike Thunderbolt 3)
Will the display have full functionality? E.g. wake up when I use...
Hi all,
I got a brand new MBPro 15" 2018, While migrating using the USBC to TB2 adapter (Apple) and a TB2 cable (Apple) to my old late 2013 15" MBpro (in target disk mode), I was (unpleasantly) surprised that Migration Assistant gave me a speed of 10 MB/s while I was expecting something in the...
Howdee!
Trying to find a Thunderbolt 3 male to Thunderbolt 2 male lead. I see adapters are available but that'd require an extra dongle: Device (Macbook Pro mid-2017) ---> Thunderbolt 3 (male) to Thunderbolt 2 (female) adapter ---> Thunderbolt 2 (male) to Thunderbolt 2 (male) lead --->...
Is there a way to connect a Thunderbolt 3 device (for instance a TB3 hub) to one of the Thunderbolt 2 ports of the MacPro end 2013? :rolleyes:
The Apple adapter from TB2 (female) to TB3 (male) mentions to be "reversible" AFAIK :confused:
Would it be possible to use the TB3 male side connected in...
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to see if there are any non-hacky ways of getting Cuda Cores to work in a TB2 iMac. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Primary use is C4D and renderers like Redshift and Octane.

Has anybody heard of anything like that?
I got a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) which got Thunderbolt2 and I love the COmputer, not thinking on replacing it with the latest MBP at the present. So if...
