My refurbished MACPRO 6 has 6 thunderbolt2 male ports
How to connect them with standard USB3 Hard drives?
Googling gives no reply it seems there are no adaptors.
I'm aware the machine had 4 USB ports already but I'd like to use the others as I have far too many drives.
Any hints?

Thunderbolt to eSATA/USB3 adapters are the cheapest, but that is a 1:1 solution unless you chain powered USB hubs.

For more ports you can use Apples Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter to connect to a powered Thunderbolt 3 dock.
