I recently purchased a 27 inch 2020 iMac. I want to connect the Thunderbolt port to a LaCie Porsche external drive that has only a USB-C port. Will this speed things up? What connectors do I need? Converter? One cable with Thunderbolt on one end, USB-C on the other? Thanks!
Hi, assuming the LaCie drive is Thunderbolt 1 or Thunderbolt 2, then a TB cable +this...

Not likely to speed it up, but how is it connected now?
Ah, I misunderstood, sorry.

Thunderbolt 3 port on the Mac is dual purpose... USB-C & Thunderbolt 3. :)
This is too simple, connect a USB C cable from the Mac to the External Hard Disk and you are done!
Thanks. No Thunderbolt port on the LaCie, just a USB-C port. Sounds like it is not probable that there is a solution. Thanks anyway.
