1021 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.

The Windows default for any external storage media is for Write Caching policies to be disabled. If you have enabled it, then the write performance to an SSD will be very slow. To get significantly increase write performance, disable Write Caching. For instructions, see this Microsoft Document.
