Q: 1. I cannot seem to connect this drive to my computer. I have an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015). I have tried to connect the USB-C on the AKiTiO to the USB port on the computer but I get the message , "Cannot Use Thunderbolt Accessory." I then bought an Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and connected the AKiTiO using the supplied cable but there is no indication of any connection on the computer whatsoever, not even in Disk Utility. Can I use this drive with my computer? Thank you,

A: OWC Andy, I am happy to say that you are quite incorrect! In my experience, this computer does hot mount as my other drives do. But when I rebooted the computer, the drive showed up, even though it is connected using the Apple adapter. All is working fine!
