Usb 3.1 ssd to thunderbolt 2?

[pierre1610]

anyone know of a cable or adapter that will give me 10Gbps?

I have a USB-c drive which gives 800MB/s over USB 3.1, I need to connect it to a 2013 Mac Pro and want more than USB 3 speeds.

I know apple make a thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adapter which should work. I wonder if it will give full usb 3.1 speeds though

You can't directly convert a USB device to Thunderbolt. You'd need to take the drive out of that USB enclosure and then find an appropriate enclosure that's not USB to get more speed. So, if the drive is SATA internally, you would need a SATA to Thunderbolt 2 enclosure. Exactly what is the drive you have?
One option would be to go Thunderbolt to eSATA with an adapter like this: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/...-adapter?fnode=8b&fs=f=adapter&fh=4595%2B45b0

I want to go between 2 mac pro's a 6,1 and a 5.1 so can't swap enclosure

You definitely could change enclosures, you'd just need a card for the 5,1. What you're looking to do is unlikely to be particularly cost effective, nor is it really likely to gain you a lot in performance.

That adapter only converts between Thunderbolt 2 and 3, and offers no USB connectivity.
