Where to find Cable or T3 SSD

Creed1 · January 22, 2017

I am looking at the Samsung 250GB T3 SSD and I need a cable to plug into the SSD to my thunderbolt. The SSD has a USB Type C port and I believe my thunderbolt is also a USB Type C. I need the fastest cable to take full advantage of my SSD. Help?

Must be on Amazon please.

The SSD is most likely a SATA based SSD using a SATA to USB converter, so even if you plug it into a Thunderbolt interface, it won't be any faster than through USB 3.0.

There's also no guarantee that Type C ports support anything other than USB. The only thing you must support on a Type C port is USB. And even then, it's only on the host end.
