Does the TBT-TRAN Work With Computers That Don't Have Thunderbolt or USB4?

No. The TBT-TRAN is compatible only with computers equipped with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, or USB4.

Alternative Transfer Cables for Computers Without Thunderbolt or USB4

If your computer does not have Thunderbolt or USB4, we suggest using our USB3-TRAN or USB-EASY-TRAN transfer cable instead. If you need to connect to USB-C ports, our USBC-TRAN USB 3.0 transfer cable includes USB-C adapters.
