[QUOTE="GerOwens, post: 1909446, member: 411729"] Hi there, I have a 2011 iMac 27”, which has a couple of Thunderbolt ports. I need to add a lot of external disk space, so I want to attach a bay. I bought apple's thunderbolt cable (A1410) and apple's thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 USB-C adapter (A1790) and tested it out on a Samsung T5 SSD drive before buying a bay and drives. The computer doesn't recognize the T5 SSD. I read where the thunderbolt to USB-C adapter works both directions, but I'm getting nothing. Any idea where i I'm going wrong, and/or how I can solve this issue, as I'd like to spend money on a bay or drives that don't rely on using redundant ports. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
