Question- my old PC has USB A type 3.0, and new has Thunderbolt (but also USB 3)...is there any point to using a USBA-to-Thunderbolt cable, or it is limited to the speed of USB A 3 so get that one double ended?

[@Plugable]

Hello, if one of your PCs best available port is USB 3.0 then the link rate between both PCs would be based on USB 3.0 and in this case I'd recommend using our "USB3-TRAN" sku that we offer as part of our USB Transfer Cable lineup.
