mDP is the same connector as TB2 and you could drive mDP displays from TB2

In particular, I'd like to connect an AOC i1601fwux monitor which would need both power and video from the single USB C cable.

OK basically I want to add a usb 3.0 port to my old but still kicking mid 2011 mac mini. I already upped the ram to 16gb ( apple you liar with the 8gb max ) and im about to upgrade my slow stock HDD to a SSD. Now my dilemma is as follows

1) I am well aware of the kanex thunderbolt to usb 3.0 adapter but not willing to shell out $79.99 yet unless this is my only option unless someone with a similar mid 2011 mac mini has evidence to prove it works

2) Basically since the description on the apple site states
"As a bidirectional adapter, it can also connect new Thunderbolt 3 devices to a Mac with a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port and macOS
Sierra."
So if this adapter is truly bidirectional as is stated ---- if i buy this + a male thunderbolt to male thunderbolt cable which id connect to my mac and the other end to the female thunderbolt port on this adapter would i then be able to either
a) connect the male usb-c to a gender changer adapter female usb-c to female usb 3.0 type A connection thus allowing me to
connect my usb 3.0 hub i have already giving me at least noticeably faster data transfer speeds vs the slow usb 2.0 ports

b) buy a usb 3.1 micro B to a usb - c female cable to use my external HDD

i know i should eventually upgrade to a new mac but my mid 2011 mac mini is still working strong

As far as I understand it has a USB-C port, but not a Thunderbolt 3, even if it's the same shape

As title says, I have tried other alternatives to no success. Wondering what people's experiences are from these and if my old hard drives can still be used...
