Today I received the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock, 14 ports (OWCTB3DK14PSLO). I will report back after I contact OWC and test the dock. This article appears to be a significant disservice to the Mac community and should cause many people to think twice about dealing with OWC if, in fact, the information is wrong. I am going to be mighty disappointed if they don’t take it back. Late 2014 mini/OSX 11.6-Big Sur–>Apple Thunderbolt Cable (2m)–>Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter–>OWC Mercury Elite Pro Mini externally powered enclosure with OWC 1TB SSD drive: NO JOYĪrriving in 2 days is a closeout OWC 14 port Thunderbolt dock I ordered on the recommendation of this article. But, it’s a physically tiny drive so I am really surprised that nothing happened. Late 2014 mini/OSX 11.6-Big Sur–>Apple Thunderbolt Cable (2m)–>Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter–>Seagate SSD: NO JOY–according to the above article, this is normal. I made this decision based upon the above article and things don’t look good. I have just spent over $300 on adapters, cables, and docks and it looks like it’s all for naught. I wish I had read the comments two days ago. So, if you’ve been salivating for one of those sleek new Thunderbolt 3 docks but are “burdened” with only a Thunderbolt 2 connection, you’ll be excited to learn that there’s a Thunderbolt 3/USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 adapter. Whether if it’s in the products they create or the tips and knowledge they provide. OWC prides itself in helping customers extend the life and usability of their Macs. So, unless you’re willing to shell out a small fortune, you’re left languishing in the “dark ages.” All your friends and colleagues are editing video at Thunderbolt 3 and 4 speeds of 40Gb/s (on a Mac) while you’re still on Thunderbolt 2. Haven’t we? When your perfectly fine Mac becomes an oversized paperweight because everything has been updated and your computers no longer play nicely with hard drives, apps, or other peripheral devices. The only way to run both over a single cable would be with USB-C or Thunderbolt, but your system doesn't have USB-C and the U2719DC doesn't support Thunderbolt.2012 MacBook Pro With Thunderbolt 2 Ports One cable will be handling video, the other will be handling USB data. This connection would be in addition to your video cable, not instead of. Some USB-C to USB-A cables only support USB 2.0. Make sure you get one that specifically supports USB 3.1 Gen 1. Since the only "upstream" USB interface on that display is its USB-C port, you'll need a USB-C to USB-A cable. The ability to use USB peripherals plugged into your display requires a USB data path to exist between the display and your system, which is not created by connecting a basic video cable. Try getting a Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable and you should be fine, since the specs for that system here clearly state that it supports displays up to 2560x1600. Your system does, but that capability as far as I'm aware has only ever supported up to 1080p, or I guess the very slightly higher 2048x1080 resolution, even when the DisplayPort source can support much higher resolutions when using native DisplayPort signaling.
