Hello All,
Does anyone have succes with the Apple TB3 to TB2 adapter on GA-Z170X-UD5-TH?
(Also running Nvidia GPU and NVMe Based Samsung 961 SSD, does the PCIe slot matter?)
When I plug in the device (read: boot with the adapter in the port and TB to ethernet attached to it) it get's recognised as an USB device with USB1.0 speeds. It also gives me a message that TB is not supported on my Mac. the exact message a Macbook with USB-C would give when plugging in this accessory.
I did the firmware updates for TB in windows, and I have the latest BIOS installed.
My guess, that is possibly 100% wrong, is that the switching from USB to TB does not work properly on macOS. And as this is my only TB3 device I'm not sure if they all have a USB fallback.. (Because some TB3 devices are reported to work fine) So would if possible disabling USB on the USB-C connectors enable me to use this TB3 device?
If any additional info is needed please let me know.
