Q: 7. I have just purchased a Lacie rugged Thunderbolt external hard drive to use with my MacBook Pro 16 computer. Unfortunately, the computer has Thunderbolt 3 ports, and the Lacie has a Thunderbolt 2 connection. If I plug this cable into the drive's additional usb c port, will I get the Thunderbolt 2 performance of the Lacie drive? Or, am I better served to get Apple's thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adapter to get the external drive's thunderbolt 2 benefits.

A: The LaCie Rugged Mobile Hard Drive with Thunderbolt 2 and USB Type C has a maximum read/write speed of up to 130MB/s. Using this cable, you will get the full speeds. The Apple adapter would not make the drive go faster. When it comes to connections like USB and Thunderbolt with storage devices, I would keep in mind the difference between the concept of Bandwidth (total size of the pipeline) vs the speed the device can read and write. Thunderbolt offers more bandwidth but since this hard drive only reads/writes to 130MB/s no matter which cable you use, that is the theoretical maximum which can be achieved over USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt 2/3.

Q: 8. how long is the cable?

A: 1.6 feet or 0.5m.

Q: 9. Is this active?

A: Yes. It powers the device.
