Works like it should

This adapter works great for pretty much any device that needs to convert between TB2 and TB3. Monitors may be a little different but accessories and HDD’s work great!

Very Un-Apple way to go

I figure that Apple wants to wean users away from Firewire to USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt 3, but a lot of us still have legacy Firewire devices and drives around. I was hoping for a Thunderbolt 3 to FW 800 adapter, but no such beast exists. Instead, you have to buy a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter to connect to your Thunderbolt 2 to FW 800 adapter to connect to your FW device. It's expensive to buy 2 adapters, but it does work.
