Can I plug it into a thunderbolt > FW 800 adapter and use it on the 800 port of my MBP ?

I don't know that you can find a firewire to Thunderbolt adapter going from new tech drive to old tech computer.. as said already.. it normally goes the other way around.

Errr... no. It's a Thunderbolt drive. The Thunderbolt adaptor is to connect a FW device to a TB connector on the computer.

This depends. I assume the FW 800 adapter plugs into the thunderbolt port. How much power does it draw and does it have a thunderbolt port on it? Thunderbolt is daisy chained and so the mini pro having no thunderbolt port has to be the last item in the chain. It is also powered via thunderbolt so if your adapter has a significant power draw you could have power issues. I have mine daisy chained behind a 27 inch apple Thunderbolt Display.

I've not tried it but I would think you could. You lose all the speed though because it would reduce the SSD speed to FireWire 800 speed

No, you cannot. You could use a Firewire drive with the Thunderbolt port of a MBP, but not the other way around. Sorry.

Yup it works fine. FW800 on Mac Mini to FW400 external drive. You do need the 9 to 6 pin cable (and I thought I had 1 of every cable)

yes, the mini displayport is Thunderbolt compatible. You only get the video out portion, but it is how I use my large Dell monitor to my Mac.

You should be able to hook into whatever monitor you have so long as you have the correct cable and adapter. THere are a variety of adapters that can fit into the Thunderbolt port which supports video

Hi Sheldon, I'm not familiar with a thunderbolt port, but the device works very well with a mini display port. wish i could be of more help

No, this is not thunderbolt compatible. Instead of trying to figure out how to connect this via Thunderbolt, consider getting a USB hub if you have run out of USB ports.

It oesn't have thunderbolt. You can connect a Mac using thunderbolt but you need to buy an adapter to do it.

Sorry. I am not hundred percent sure as I only have MacBook pro, but i think it is compatible with all thunderbolts ports. Good luck.

If you want to plug a DVI Monitor into a MiniDisplayport/Thunderbolt, you could just use the Apple Mini-Displayport to DVI Connector.http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter?fnode=51

Yes - you will just need a DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable. If it is a recent MacBook Air, the Thunderbolt port is the same size as a Mini-Displayport connector and is backwards compatible. When connected via DisplayPort, if you set your sound output on the MacBook Air to the monitor and set the Monitor sound input to DisplayPort then the DisplayPort cable will carry both the video and audio over the single cable. You would then just need to connect a USB cable from the MacBook Air to the monitor if you want to use the USB Hub. Note, however, that since this monitor is not a Thunderbolt monitor, you will not have Thunderbolt capabilities (such as daisy-chaining thunderbolt devices) - don't think you were looking to do that anyway, but something to be aware of if you were looking for that functionality.

Not sure, but mine was purchased before Thunderbolt was available, and would have HAD to go in another input. Probably not Firewire either. Mini VGA?

Yes, but you need to have an apple computer that has a thunderbolt port. Refer to apples website, or google, to see what a thunderbolt port looks like

Depends on the model. If you have a newer one then the Thunderbolt connection will work.

Oscar is correct. The Thunderbolt port is also the minidisplay port. Just buy an inexpensive minidisplay port to display port adapter from Amazon or Monoprice.

I am currently using this adapter on my 2013 MacBook Air which, according to Apple.com, only has a "Thunderbolt port (up to 10 Gbps)". I can attest that yes, it will work. Also, question 18 on this Apple support site is relevant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219

No it will not. Thunderbolt and USB 3 are pretty much the same. The weak link will be the firewire protocol.

Hi, Melissa. No Thunderbolt. You must have seen a photo with an e-SATA port which it does have. It's got two 800FW ports, one USB port and one eSata port. You can easily get a Thunderbolt to 800FW adapter which is what I use with my AirBook. They cost $29 from an Apple store. '-( Hope this helps! Dana Jae
