I'm a bit on crossroads.... I have a MacBook Pro, early 2015 13" 8GB RAM 256GB SSD, and an Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt 2, I really want some fast external storage space to swap, to directly capture video onto, and also fast access for audio files used by a Pioneer DJ controller.
Most fast external SSD's use USB-C my MBP has USB 3 .... Other/most superfast SSD's use Thunderbolt 3..
Can i use a ThunderBolt 3 on my MBP which has Thunderbolt 2 ? (only interface/speed bottleneck?)
What if i buy a new generation MBP (with Thunderbolt 3), can i still connect my Intensity Shuttle (ThunderBolt 2) directly to that new MBP ?
It comes down to that i want fast storage speed, how to do this, and keep using my Intensity Shuttle (TB2)...
Interfacing is the main problem i guess....
