Doesn't Work For Me
on January 27, 2018
Posted by: BobEvenson
Tried to connect a BMD video capture device (T-Bolt2) to a new iMac 27 (T-Bolt3) and will not read the capture device. Updated all firmware and still a no go. Should have gone with the Apple TBolt3 to Tbolt2 dongle.

Thanks to StarTech TBT3TBTADAP now my Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Octo Core works fine connected to my DELL 7577 (TB3) Laptop. I would just like to know if I can cascade a second TB2 device to my UAD-2 Satellite Octo which has two TB2 ports (One already used for the StarTech TBT3TBTADAP). Thanks, Carlo

Continue using Thunderbolt 2 with new PCs
on May 4, 2017
Posted by: joevt1
Allows using Thunderbolt 2 devices with newer PCs that have Thunderbolt 3 ports. I've tested it and it just works. This adapter does not allow using Thunderbolt 3 devices with Thunderbolt 2 computers though, unlike the much less expensive Apple adapter.
Note: For mini DisplayPort, use a USB-C to DisplayPort cable instead.

on November 11, 2019
Posted by: perkdaddy
I purchased the TBT3TBTADAP to connect my UAD Twin Apollo audio interface to my iMac iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) PROCESSOR 4.2 GHz Intel Core i7,16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 USB-C computer. There is.a bevy of individuals who have USB-C computers that want to use their UAD Twin Apollo's. UADcommended you guys? I bought but.......No Go? Can't rate the quality of this product because I haven't been able to get it to work and it may be "outstanding?" I'll wait to hear from you guys before commenting on the quality. Thanks!

We always try to ensure our customers have exceptional experiences with us and our products and we apologize that our TBT3TBTADAP is not working with your iMac and UAD interface. The TBT3TBTADAP requires a computer that has a True Thunderbolt 3 port and is not compatible with computers that only use simple USB-C without Thunderbolt capabilities. However, the 2017 iMac does have Thunderbolt 3 capabilities and should be compatible with our adapter. If you require assistance we'd be happy to help get this working for you. You can contact us directly at www.startech.com/support where our Technical Advisors are available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week to provide support.

Great Adapter
on June 30, 2016
Posted by: BobbyG
Works out of the box and does exactly what the product description says it will do. I ordered this as soon as it was available, and it has solved my problem of connecting TB2 devices to my TB3 port on the Dell XPS computer.

I tried to reinstsall the driver but it doen't appear in device manager
Response from startech.comBy BarringtonCustomer SupportAugust 16, 2021
We are sorry to hear that you experienced difficulty with TBT3TBTADAP.

Please note that this adapter does not require a driver installation to operate. TBT3TBTADAP only acts as a pass-through device to bridge Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 devices. One of our technical advisors will be reaching to gather information about your setup, and see if we can help resolve the issue you are seeing.

Kind of works, but...
on June 2, 2019
Posted by: JeffMc
If external device (I use audio interface) is powered after computer is booted up, it's not recognized and there is no way to rescan for attached devices. Have to either restart the computer or unplug and re-plug StarTech device. Annoying.
Response from startech.comBy MattCustomer SupportJune 4, 2019
Hello Jeff,

We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you're having with our TBT3TBTADAP. It sounds like there may be an issue with hot-swapping the adapter or audio equipment. One of our Technical Advisors will be reaching out to you with the email provided to troubleshoot further.
