How can I connect an external USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 device to a Thunderbolt 2 port on my MacBook Pro?
How can I connect an external USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 (TBT3) compatible device (an external portable drive TBT4/TBT3 USB-C) to a Thunderbolt 2 port on my MacBook Pro 13" Retina (late 2013) laptop?
I tried two different Apple TBT3 (USB-C) to TBT2 adapter cables on the USB-C external device/drive end then connected a TBT2 cable into the adapter going to TBT2 on the computer end, yet can't get it to work. {Tried with two TBT3 to 2 Adapter cables, 2 different TBT2 cables and 2 different TBT2 ports on the MacBook}.
The USB-C to USB-A cable works connected to USB 3 Type A (USB-A) port on the computer, though I want to use Thunderbolt 2 port on the computer, for speedier transfers. Will this work with TBT2, and if so, how?
