I have a new mid-2015 MBP with Thunderbolt 2 Ports. I also run a 2 TB Time Capsule (final generation I believe) and I do wireless Time Machine backups to it. I have 100 Mbps home internet.
I bought my first dongle from Apple last week, a USB-A to ethernet adapter.
I didn't even realize Apple makes a Thunderbolt to ethernet adapter, which I understand supports much faster internet.
I never use wired internet, but I do use this adapter for one thing - major Time Capsule backups (typically first full backup when getting a new computer, etc.).
Would I have been better off/seen increased backup transfer speeds with the Thunderbolt adapter? I can still return the USB-A adapter if so. Or, put another way, is there any reason at all to have bought the USB-A version over the Thunderbolt version?
