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

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

There are adapters for Ethernet via Thunderbolt or USB on your MacBook. Around $30

No, that's why I returned it....they did away with the display port and made them thunderbolt ports instead, hope this is helpful

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

Do not think it works in your MacBook Air, this connector convert Firewire 800 to 400; you need to support firewire to USB converter, visit: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-IEEE-1394-FireWire-Adapter-Pin/dp/B000067SO3/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1380487592&sr=8-12&keywords=IEEE+1394+FireWire+6+Pin+female+to+USB+Male+Adapter

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.

It should - I believe that MacBook has a FW 800 port. You will need a FW 800 to 400 cable - the enclosure has 2 such ports. It also has a USB B socket, but file transfer would be slower than FireWire.

I don't think so...OSX won't drive all the interface out the firewire port, as it does for thunderbolt.

No, Thunderbolt is all together different. Your old Macbook likely supports firewire 400 which again is different. The cable does not support firewire 400 or thunderbolt however, =there are adapters and likely cables available that support the conversion.

There is no thunderbolt cable included with this adapter... That will have to be bought separately...

I have not used it on a MacBook Air, but Apple makes a proprietary FireWire adapter for the Thunderbolt port. If you MacBook Air predates Thunderbolt, it may be hard because your hard drive is supposed to operate off of a threshold speed. If you have Thunderbolt, you will need to buy Apple's adapter, then this, and I would imagine you could hook it up pretty easily. If you MacBook Air predates Thunderbolt, I am not sure what you would do.

Yes, you have a thunderbolt port, but the mini display port adapter will work
