![]() Connect the adapter to your Mac and boom, you’re in business with a 20 Gbps speed.Get a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter.Get a SSD drive enclosure with a Thunderbolt 3 interface, like this one.So, I would suggest sticking with a USB 3.0 drive enclosure, especially because your Mac has USB 3.0 ports.īUT, if you’re really obsessed with maxing out the transfer speeds, what you might be able to do, is: In both cases, there’s a point where your max speed is degraded/maxed at 5 Gbps, which is still a fast speed. As we say in the computer world, your transfer speed is only as fast as your slowest link.SSD Enclosure -USB 3.0 Cable (5 Gbps)->USB 3.0 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter (5 Gbps) -> Thunderbolt 2 Port (Decreased to 5 Gbps).SSD Enclosure -Thunderbolt2 Cable (20 Gbps)->Thunderbolt 2 to USB 3.0 Adapter (5 Gbps) -> USB 3.0 Port (5 Gbps). ![]() There’s only two possibilities with USB and Thunderbolt Using an adapter would serve no real purpose to you.This is most likely because of the recent arrival of Thunderbolt 3.0/USB-C I can’t find any hard drive enclosures that use Thunderbolt 2 as their interface.So, clearly Thunderbolt 2 is faster 4x faster. Understand the desire to have super fast transfer speeds, especially with external drives.
