To make this an external, what connector should I use with this with a Macbook Pro w/ retina?

Just pick up a 2.5" external enclosure. Choose the flavor of connection (Thunderbolt, USB, Firewire)

sata to esata connection wire. if you don't have esata you'll need an adapter unit. such as sata to usb or sata to firewire. the unit is sealed so you'll have no worries externally. just don't dunk it in coffee

I have a Lacie external drive with a thunderbolt port connected to the thunderbolt port on my MacBook Pro. If your MacBook Pro or external HD does not have a thunderbolt port, there might be an adaptor you could get to modify. Hope this helps

Hi,I don't know if my uses will help you, however I use the cable regularly to connect my MacBook Pro to an iMac for use as an external monitor and to connect external hard drives to both the iMac and the MacBook Pro

Yes, it should work with your MacBook Pro Retina. You can download the driver on this link: http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=4872

As long as the laptop has a thunderbolt/displayport connector, it should be fine. What ports does your macbook have available?

I run it from my Belkin thunderbolt docking station connected to my mac book pro (only way to get USB3.0 on that old sucker). Works fine, so I would assume a hub would be OK as well.

It depends on which model you have. Check with everymac.com to find specs about your video card and if it can handle duel or mirroring. The lower end macbooks use shared RAM as VRAM... I don't believe those can handle powering an external LCD, but check that site it should have info.

The small end will plug into a macbook pro., but if your monitor does not support displayport, you may have to get a cable with a dvi connector at the other end

You have a MacBook Pro that has a built in Superdrive. Per Apple the new, external Superdrive will not work with an of the older, aka Built in Superdrive computers. If you have time to return it, I'd return it to Amazon for a credit.

No. This a thunderbolt connection which is used on new macs. You should probably look for a lightning connector.

I was using my slot disk for the Mac. I forgot what cable it it that you can use but I googled it and brought it on amazon. You can also just by a USB slot disk and connect it with your computer

This not for just Apple products. This connection is mini display port to HDMI. (not thunderbolt)

On Windows, go by the manual for the monitor. You need the one USB connection if you want touchscreen; the other two USB ports become essentially a two-port USB hub available for whatever else you want to plug in to it.I don't know about MacBook(s).Jim

Connected a used one to my new Mac Pro and it works, however i needed to buy an active adapter

my understanding is that this is just for apple products with the 30 pin connector. Are there any adapters that would work? I don't know.

The external plug will work with any standard external connector but I don't know if the MAC has a standard external connector.

I don't know if it is compatible with macbook pro retina. I wouldn't recommend it, it seems cheaply built.
