Thunderbolt devices can only be used on Apple computers with Thunderbolt, or in some case a PC with Thunderbolt - if the vendor provides PC driver support. There is no "USB 3.0 to Thunderbolt" adapter or any workaround like that unfortunately. Black Magic does make an Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0 model, however it only works with a specific USB 3.0 chipset in the computer, so it does NOT work for many users.

It's a USB connection so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work as long as you had the driver.

I don't think you can. The USB receiver is matched to the mouse. That is so that other mice or devices can't "see" it and get confused. Looks like you need to just buy a new one. Sorry.

You can plug a USB hub into it and all of the ports work. I primarily got it to add USB3 to an older laptop.

I have not tried that... You would need a USB port. Check the StarTech web site.

Hello, I made the big mistake by buying this without knowing how it was exactly going to work.After research I managed to put my external gpu together & it did not work on my laptop because I had also no expresscard slot.I never tried USB because I think that the connection is not strong enough. What kind of laptop do you have? It mostly work on ACER laptops.I have ASUS and that's not good for this, Some ACER laptops have an extra slot on the motherboard where you can connect it to and that's what I saw someone doing in a youtube video& it worked.

Yes you can through a PC. It works the same way as a USB. Very easy to use. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Sorry... can't help you as I used this device on an HP laptop running Windows 7 (and it was a no brainer to hook up and run).

I don't think so. There is no driver to be installed. The only way to change between the two USB is pressing the blue buttons.

I balieve you can do so by simply conecting to an USB port. May take a bit longer but plug it to your computer and you should be good to go.

Regarding the USB 3.0., an alternative is to get a laptop with an express slot, 34 or 34/54, and buy a plug in adapter which offers you 2-USB 3.0 slots, they're backwards compatible for USB 2 & 1 too. Got mine from Tiger direct. This works fine if you're ok with something the size of the end of your thumb out the side of your machine.

PC3-8500 is supported by the T400. The biggest "gotcha" to look out for is if you are running a 32-bit OS. Only 3gb would be supported by a 32-bit windows OS.

Yes. Most important thing is the USB support model (2.0) rather than your operating system.

The computer that I plugged it into has only USB2 ports. It works just fine. Sorry I can't answer if it would work with a USB3 port.

I have connected a USB drive and a mouse with this adapter. Not sure what kind of Doble you have in mind?

The only connection is a fixed thunderbolt, so I'm not sure you'd be able to connect it. There's no USB on it.
