my mac only has a firewire 800 port - will this unit work with that?

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.

I cannot definitively say, but I would assume that the mac would throttle down the speed to match whatever is hooked up to it. At least that is what PC's do to make newer ports "backward compatible".

Yes, but you will need to buy a FireWire 400 to FireWire 800 cable (6 pin to 9 pin), or a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter.

Purchase a FireWire 800-to-400 adapter, or 800-to-400 adapter cable. The "400" end of the cable can be a 4-pin (for the smaller FireWire connection on the front of the unit) or a 6-pin (for the larger FireWire connection on the back of the unit). The advantage of a 6-pin FireWire adapter plug/cable is that it will also power the ADVC110. A 4-pin FireWire adapter plug/cable does not carry "power" and you would have to had the optional power cable for the ADVC110.

Yes. Go to apple store or radioShack for the right cable. About $20.00. Works fine.

Yes, that's the main reason I bought it. It has FW800 & FW400 ports. I use the 800 with my imac.

I have used it on both Mac and PC and have daisy chained it with other drives on FireWire. It will do everything you are asking about here.

Hi, thanks for your email, yes if your Mac has Firewire port.Take care, Norman.310-968 0555 east coast

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

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.

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

It has two Firewire 800 ports in the back. Though it will also accept one USB.

Firewire is a daisy-chained protocol. These drives have 2 ports, so you just attach a cable between the two and to the Firewire port on your Mac and you're all set. I have 2 of these devices set up this way with my 17" Mac Book Pro and it works great. Note that if you daisy chain a LOT of Firewire devices together you can get performance problems since signals pass through each device. But for a couple disk drives this should not be a problem.

What firewire port do you have on your Mac Mini? If it is the new format then yes, if not then no.

Probably not. FireWire is either 400 or 800 Kbps, and both thunderbolt and USB 3 are faster.

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.

Yes. You'll need an adapter, and which kind depends on the model of Mac you have. I have a Macbook from 2010 and it has a Mini Display Port. So I bought a DVI to Mini Display Port Adapter. This attaches to the DVI cable that comes with the machine. Other machines use FireWire and there is an adapter for that as well. Get the right adapter for your Mac and then you're good to go.

Yes you do need some kind of audio interface that has 1/4 inch or RCA outputs. Then the device should have either FireWire or USB...you may need a FireWire to thunderbolt cable because the new Mac may not have FireWire. Hope this helps

Yeah. It works fine with a mac. You just need the firewire cable instead of the USB.

Will help you connect a FireWire peripheral thru the thunderbolt port, in case you do not have available ports.
