So you're saying you connected a USB C SSD (such as this one) to the Apple TB3-2 adapter to your Mac with a TB 2 cable and it didn't work at all?

I have a 2015 5K iMac that I run from a USB 3.0 2.5" SSD that I want to upgrade to a NVMe PCIe SSD in a USB C 3.1 enclosure. I asked Apple support chat yesterday if using the Apple TB3-2 would allow a portable USB C 3.1 drive to run at full speed over TB2 and they said yes…

From my experience with Hackintosh, using a USB Wifi dongle probably won't work out of the box. The issue is that your computer has to interface with it - without a driver you cannot interact with it at all. I wouldn't personally suggest using a dongle for the reason being that macOS doesn't natively support them, so drivers have to do a *workaround* to route the dongle's internet through Ethernet. They are very finicky, mine seems to disconnect very often after putting my machine to sleep, and it doesn't ever let me reconnect without a full reboot. If you're building a rig rather than a laptop, look for a more desirable option, such as a PCI adapter. This one, has both Bluetooth and WiFi. Using this, macOS will believe this is the proprietary adapter included inside your machine (a *genuine* Macintosh), and you won't have to worry about any random disconnection issues. Keep in mind: When you are connected through Ethernet on a Hackintosh, most of the time, iMessage and all of Apple's macOS specific software that links to iCloud probably won't work without a few hacks within your file system. Using the PCI adapter works out of the box and generally enables iMessage and all of Apple's services, such as Handoff and AirDrop (if that is important to you). EDIT: Regarding the macOS version on the driver - you can manually patch the package installer to allow a newer version of the OS to open and install it.

To be honest, I turned off the second external monitor last week because I decided I just couldn't stand Dell's lousy pixels anymore. Still, I had no problems whatsoever for the couple of months I ran with three screens. I don't use anything special; if it can help, the cable connected to 4k is this -- after frying both the Iiyama cable and an Ibra in the first 3 months, this one has been ok for almost a year. To the Dell I used the included DVI cable via the displayport adapter.

They’re sold on Amazon, not official Apple, but should work fine: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CBRW9V9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qfADCbMAVM5R3

Or you could buy an official iPad charger, the duckheads are the same.

On amazon there are some low-end brands that cost around €30for 256gb.

Here is one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0093RN1OS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gE6NDb9CCAT08

But this is in Germany!

All C cables support data, but there is a wide range of speeds. Try grabbing one of these 3.1 Gen 2: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B072JYDQ7N/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_azVWDbP2BTNYB

You'll notice commonly the cable is thicker, 3ft is the max length, and the tips are longer than normal.

I bought this one on Amazon from OWC.

I'm running Mojave on an external SSD (it resolved about 90% of the hanging issues I was having with the stock internal HDD in the 2014 Mac Mini). It's my current boot drive. I don't know how fast the internal fusion drives are, but this thing runs circles around the internal HDD.

Any 2 slot non polarized power cord will work.
