It still works perfectly and calibrates perfectly when I use my Colormunki calibrator. Now, I use it together with my 2015 iMac for a 2 screen system–something I will never do without again.
#MY USB HUB DOESN'T WORK WELL FOR MAC MAC#
I’m saddened, because the Cinema Display has been with me since my very first Mac back in 2007. So, please accept my apologies if I offended you in any way.Īm I correct in thinking that my old Apple Cinema Display that uses Display Port connection will not be able to work at all with the new iMac with the M1 chip (when it arrives that is)? From what I read, I don’t think it will be compatible, but it would be nice to have someone confirm that to me. Therefore, my “recommendation” to anyone trying to use a Thunderbolt 3 device with a Thunderbolt 2 Macintosh is, “More Power!”

I can only guess that the 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 did not work because not enough power was available to the enclosure.
I also did not test the charging capabilities of the two high power USB ports. I could not easily test the Micro SD port, S/PDIF port, and DisplayPort but will report back if any of these fail to work. I can confirm that 11 of the 13 ports transfer data as advertised. Mac mini (Late 2014/OS 11.6) Thunderbolt (2) port–>Apple Thunderbolt (2) Cable (2m)–>Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter–>OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock. However, I am very happy to report that it works as I had hoped. My impression from the site and my paperwork is that this item will soon become NLA. 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. 2012 MacBook Pro With Thunderbolt 2 Ports
