Not enough info from you. What kind of cord is needed, firewire, usb or thunderbolt. I bought the thunderbolt for my new iMac which no longer has firewire.

Sorry I can't help here as I have a PC, please see the other answers below. Seems you need a firewire 400 to 800 cable or adapter.

Hi. The newest hardware version of the Seagate backup plus that I have is for USB 3.0. This version is only available in USB 3.0. Seagate sells an adapter separately that can support thunderbolt. I think that you then have to buy a thunderbolt to firewire 800 adapter then, finally, you would have to buy a firewire 800 cord as the adapter (made by Apple) is very short. The thunderbolt adapter for the Seagate Backup plus is 150 dollars and the adapter is 30 dollars so you are looking at a lot of money. Alternately, you could buy the previous generation of the Seagate backup plus. Search amazon.com for "Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB FireWire 800/USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive for Mac STCB3000100" and you will find it. Hope this helps. Patrick

It does have a FireWire port but I think it is only 400. Could be wrong; haven't used it yet. IIRC the 800 uses a more rectangular connector.

Rogelio, The model I ordered has a USB 3.0 port only with an on/off switch and a port for an optional external power supply. OWC also offers a bare external case available with USB 3.0 and Firewire 800 for 59.99. Hope this helps you!

From slow to fast: FireWire is 800Mbps, USB 3.0 5Gbps, Thunderbolt is 10Gbps (or 1.25GB/s) - In this case, FireWire is the slowest interface of the group.

This device has three interfaces. A single USB3.0 interface, and two Firewire 800 interfaces. Firewire 800 can connect only to Firewire 400 or Firewire 800.

I have not used it for that purpose before. The standard connection it comes with is a USB 3.0 cable which is faster than firewire. If you have a USB 3.0 connection on your computer than great, if not it will still connect via a USB 2.0 connection but will not have the faster performance.

Working on my mac mini perfectly. USB3.0 and OSX Mavericks. I have not used the firewire port but I assume it will work well.

No you will need to use the thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter and then use a Firewire 400 to Firewire 800 adapter.

It has a FireWire 400 out, I had to get a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter to be able to hook it up to my imac.
