StarTech.com Access Points, Hubs & Switches Editorial Review
The StarTech TBT3TBTADAP Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter has received positive reviews from customers. Many customers have praised its ability to work straight out of the box and do exactly what the product description claims. One customer mentioned that the adapter solved their problem of connecting Thunderbolt 2 devices to their Thunderbolt 3 port on their Dell XPS computer. Another customer shared that they had been using the Apple adapter for a few years but experienced crashes after a recent Windows/Thunderbolt update. They replaced it with the StarTech adapter and found that their issues were resolved. They appreciated the build quality of the StarTech adapter but mentioned that a slightly longer lead from the converter box would be helpful. A customer who bought the adapter to use their old Apple Thunderbolt monitor with their Dell laptop shared that it worked perfectly after updating all the drivers and motherboard BIOS. They later switched to a lighter HP laptop and still found that the adapter worked flawlessly with their new setup. However, one customer noted that they were unable to connect their 2019 MacBook Pro to their Thunderbolt monitor using the StarTech adapter. The monitor did not activate, suggesting that the adapter may only work with Windows machines. Overall, the StarTech TBT3TBTADAP Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter has been well received by customers for its ability to connect Thunderbolt 2 devices to newer PCs with Thunderbolt 3 ports.
