I bought a macbook pro late 2016. I'm looking for a good portable hard drive and I am hearing a lot of good things about the Samsung T3 SSD. I know the Samsung T3 has USB-C so I can buy a USB-C to USB-C cable to make it work. But I already have a thunderbolt 3 cable, will the cable work or will I have to buy the usb-c to usb-c cable instead?
I just want to know before buying the T3.
TIA
or maybe this one (several variations shown)
Thunderbolt 3 (40 Gbps) USB-C Cable, 60W, 0.5m Monoprice Product # 24720 $19.99

Hey,
I used to use the Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Cable (0.5 m) https://goo.gl/vT4HCE
After using it for a month or so, my Samsung T3 SSD was completely dead. My files on the SSD were gone too.
Thankfully it was still under warranty, send it over to Samsung and got a replacement.
All this while I thought it was because of the Thunderbolt 3 Cable, or maybe because the cable also supports 60W charging that could've messed up my Samsung SSD.
I'm still not sure, if only someone could help. The Belkin Thunderbolt 3 USB C Cable is of extremely high quality and the looks beautiful. Want to use it again, since there aren't any good looking USB C cables in the market.
Hey, seen that. It just came out few days ago.
Still a huge fan of Black 🙂
Does this black one do what you want?

The cable included in the box with your Mac is a charge cable.
It can charge your Mac.
It can connect devices at USB-2 speeds.
That is all.
That's not what I'm asking, im asking if a thunderbolt 3 cable will work with usbc devices? The Samsung t3 has a usbc port
Yes, that will work great and be really fast. USB-3 and ThunderBolt-3 are the same cable.
Just be sure not to use the brain-damaged "charge cable" they shipped in the box with your Mac.
Thanks
Does Thunderbolt 3 cable work with the Samsung T3 SSD?
