Review on πŸ’» Convenient USB Type-C to USB 3.1 Gen1 Female Adapter - Black by Amazon Basics by Jeremy May

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works good (iMac, Thunderbolt 3, CD/DVD burner, keyboard)

I bought this adapter cable to connect a USB 2 optical drive to an iMac using one of the Thunderbolt 3 ports writes CDs and DVDs without connection problems. Five stars because "it just works" and Apple's version of this cable is much more expensive. ---------- Update (July 2018): No problem to report, still works after upgrading macOS from Sierra to High Sierra. Update (January 2019): No issue to report. Update (February 2019): Bought a second adapter for use with wired keyboards. So far there are no problems. Update (June 2019): There are no problems to report with any of the adapters. Update (July 2019): Both still work after updating to macOS Mojave. Update (March 2020): No issues to report. Update (September 2020): No issue to report. I won't be installing macOS Catalina on my computer, so I don't expect any system incompatibilities, at least until Big Sur is released. And if Apple can't make Big Sur stable and secure, I'll stick with Mojave for as long as possible.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
