If you can control the drives, then yes, swap out the thunderbolt ones for USB3 and add the USB3 Sonnet card to your mac towers.
That will make your life easier.
Last step... somehow make everyone plug in to the USB3 card and NOT the USB2 on the computer directly! (you wouldn't believe how many times I've seen that happen)

Way more stable on the old Mac towers. This is going to be a stand alone off-site system. It would be nice to not have to put in place an entire server/networked storage or a NAS and an entire second system sitting on the same desk just to transfer data. At this point I think we would be best to see if we can return the Tbolt only drives that were bought and replace with USB3 drives, or just eat the cost of the drives and get USB3 drives instead.

Jay,FU! (Do I need to explain the abbreviation?)I recently had nice conversations with Bob Z, and it seems I need to fill in for him.You're Trouble maker studios.What about investing a few bucks to get to the hardware of this decade?Ok, it's outdated, and something better awaits, but for a few K's you're done.For a studio this big, can't you just shell out? I can, just for research, as I hardly edit anymore.On 24 Jul 2017, at 23:06, Jay Mahavier jay_mahavier@earthlink.net [Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:So you can get a converter to connect a USB3 drive to a Tbolt port, but not a Tbolt drive to a USB3 port? LAME! I just need the data. I don't need all the video support and crap. Just the data. Tbolt is really starting to annoy me.JayOn Jul 24, 2017, at 12:18 PM, Jeff Hedberg jeff@unioneditorial.com [Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
Jay,You won't find a card or cable that will do this.Best bet is to get one machine that can handle thunderbolt, then push the data across the network.USB3 is a good addition to that machine, I'd recommend adding that regardless. I added the Sonnet, and it's worked well here.
