I'm on an iMac with Thunderbolt 2. My thunderbolt dock that I used to serve most of my samples and also run an additional monitor just went kaputt and I'm looking to replace its functionality. Thunderbolt 2 devices are getting harder to find. I've been told if you buy one of those very expensive Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) converters that you can run thunderbolt 3 devices at thunderbolt 2 speeds. I'm wondering if anyone here has tried it. Can you daisy chain thunderbolt 3 devices using the one bridged thunderbolt 3 device? Will video pass along the chain as it did with Thunderbolt 2?
My plan right now is to buy the TB3 a Black Magic SSD dock, attach a Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter to it and then run a monitor from the second thunderbolt 3 port on the Black Magic dock. Does that seem like it will work?
