| Can I connect the CFast 2.0 Pro Card Adapter to a Thunderbolt 2 Mac? | Oct-24-17 |
| Thunderbolt 2 does not have enough power to directly connect a Thunderbolt 3 bus-powered device like the CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader. However, you can connect the CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader if you have an intermediate Thunderbolt 3 device in the chain that is wall-powered, for example the Sonnet SxS Pro Card Reader.
Thunderbolt 2 Mac----Apple TB 3 (USB-C) to TB 2 Adapter----Wall-powered Thunderbolt 3 Device----CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader
Note that the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter is reversable and will support a Thunderbolt 2 Mac and a Thunderbolt 3 device (as well as a Thunderbolt 3 Mac and a Thunderbolt 2 device). |

| Upon connecting the CFast 2.0 Thunderbolt 3 Card Reader, I see an error message "Accessory Needs More Power" | Dec-18-18 |
| Your computer does not have 15W available that the reader requires, but instead only 7.5W.
When plugging external devices into a MacBook Pro, the 15-inch and 13-inch models with four Thunderbolt 3 ports will provide 15W only to the first two devices and then 7.5W to the second two devices in the order that they are plugged in, irrespective of port and device type. The 13-inch model with only two Thunderbolt 3 ports will provide 15W to the first device and 7.5W to the second. Try disconnecting all the devices and plug in the CFast 2.0 Pro Thunderbolt reader first.
Some PCs do not supply 15W to all of the Thunderbolt 3 ports. Check you computer specifications for details. Make sure the CFast 2.0 Pro Thunderbolt 3 reader is the first device plugged into the computer. |

| Under Windows, CFast cards are not mounting. | Feb-18-21 |
| Windows needs to be trained to identify CFast cards. You can train Windows in two ways:
1. Boot with the CFast Reader attached (cards do not need to be plugged in).
2. Plug in two CFast cards, and then hot-plug the Thunderbolt cable to the CFast Reader.
After either one of these training methods, Windows will continue to automatically recognize inserted CFast cards.
If you hot-plug the CFast Reader Thunderbolt cable without CFast cards installed, then Windows will not recognize cards. |
