| Can I connect the Fusion Thunderbolt 3 Edition PCIe Flash Drive to a Thunderbolt 2 Mac? | May-16-22 |
| Thunderbolt 2 does not have enough power to directly connect a Thunderbolt 3 bus-powered device like the Fusion Thunderbolt 3 Edition PCIe Flash Drive. However, you can connect the Fusion TB3 if you have an intermediate Thunderbolt 3 device in the chain that is wall-powered, for example the Sonnet Echo 11 Dock.
Thunderbolt 2 Mac----Apple TB 3 (USB-C) to TB 2 Adapter----Wall-powered Thunderbolt 3 Device----Fusion TB3
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).
Connected to a Thunderbolt 2 Mac, the Fusion Thunderbolt 3 Edition PCIe Flash Drive will be limited to 1350MB/s read and write speed. |

| Upon connecting the Thunderbolt 3 Fusion Flash Drive, I see an error message "Accessory Needs More Power" | May-16-22 |
| Your computer does not have 15W available that the Thunderbolt 3 Fusion Flash Drive 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 Thunderbolt 3 Fusion Flash Drive first.
Some PCs do not supply 15W to all of the Thunderbolt 3 ports. Check you computer specifications for details. Make sure the Thunderbolt 3 Fusion Flash Drive is the first device plugged into the computer. |
