I’m trying to connect LaCie Mobile SSD to MacPro 6,1 with T2 to T3 Apple dongle
Mac Pro, OS X 10.11
You just need a simple USB-A to USB-C 3.1 adapter for that connection.
for some examples:

The Apple ThunderBolt-3 <-> ThunderBolt-2 adapter supports ONLY genuine Thunderbolt devices on each side. Your LaCie drive is extremely unlikely to be a genuine ThunderBolt device.
In addition, the adapter does not supply POWER on either side.
Just as den.thed has stated, the Mac Pro 6,1 features USB 3 ports, and these are adequate for all but the fastest External SSD drives.
Their 5,000 Mega bits/sec speed roughly translates to around 500 Mega Bytes/sec, before any minor speed reductions will be seen. That is plenty fast for most purposes.
I suspected as much I had the T2-T3 on hand and thought I’d try it But that makes complete sense that it needs to power the drive Much thanks
Mac pro 6,1 (late 2013) won’t recognize LaCie SSD
