Thunderbolt 2 to USB 3 .1 gen2 via Adaptor
Hi:
I have an (oldish) iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) with Thunderbolt 2.
I just bought a LaCie d2 professional 10TB external harddrive that has a single USB 3.2 gen 2 connector.
I have an Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter:
The drive is externally powered.
Problem: when I connect the iMac to the LaCie via the adapter nothing happens (no blue light when clicking the front button).
Yet when I connect my new M1 MBP to the drive directly with a Thunderbolt 4 cable all works fine.
Does the adapter not work when going from Thunderbolt 2?
Thanks!
