Should I get this, or a Thunderbolt hub? I have one Thunderbolt port and two DVI monitors...

This will split a thunderbolt signal to two independent DVI signals (your computer will think it is one large screen). A thunderbolt hub will not split the signal. A thunderbolt aware monitor (not a DisplayPort one) also supports dual monitors via daisy chaining.

I've had mine for a few months now and am pleased with it. Just know that your two monitors will act as one single monitor. It does not bother me and have learned,to work with it.

This is the right tool if you have DVI monitors. Inside the box is a usb a-b cable for power and a thunderbolt(mini display port)to display port cable so you only need 2 DVI-D cables more to make it work.This is a great product!

Yes. Thunderbolt is backward compatible with DisplayPort. I'm using this very same cable to connect my Macbook Pro Retina to a Dell monitor without any problem whatsoever.

The dock only ultimately provides one thunderbolt connection. So with my early 2011 macpro I still had only ability to have one additional monitor but I don't have an HDMI connector. Not sure what the Air has. Ultimately I bought a new MacBook Pro with two thunderbolt displays and now have two external monitors and the laptop display. Love it and it gave me an opportunity to upgrade.

No it is not a thunderbolt display. You are simply using the displayport2 protocol to send display info to the monitor. You will need to use another wire to send USB, and in my experience so far that does not work. It's a great display once you tell OSX how to display colors, out of the box it's going to look fuzzy and distorted - don't worry, it's just a command prompt configuration setting to fix.

It's been awile since I have used a displayport adapter, but from my previous experience the cables, being short yet also having to bend a lot makes them tend to give out. With that said I would go with the BlueRigger since their cables seem to be very well made in general. Also, with some third party displayport adapters, the end that plugs into your Mac is sometimes oversized which can interfere with surrounding ports (admittedly I don't know what the back of a Mac Mini looks like). The BlueRigger looks like it would fit without interfering with any surrounding ports. I would take it over an official Apple adapter: BlueRigger Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to DVI Female Adapter Cable It's been awile since I have used a displayport adapter, but from my previous experience the cables, being short yet also having to bend a lot makes them tend to give out.

You should be able to hook into whatever monitor you have so long as you have the correct cable and adapter. THere are a variety of adapters that can fit into the Thunderbolt port which supports video

Depends on how you look at it. One Thunderbolt cable gets you 3 more USB ports, wired ethernet, audio out and mic in, HDMI for a monitor, plus another Thunderbolt port to replace the one you used.We have several such setups at the office that I think are fairly typical. Wired ethernet, a desktop monitor, a wired USB keyboard and a USB to Lightning iPhone cable are all connected to the Elgato dock. A single T'bolt cable then hooks up to the user's MacBook Air when it's present. This is much simpler than connecting everything via individual cables, and in the case of the MacBook Air provides both more USB ports than the computer has, and a wired ethernet port that the Air doesn't offer at all.

If you dont have the correct port of the hard drive then you should return it. I was told that only some of the newer computers will have the thunderbolt port but if yours does not then you should return it and get another 4tb drive. I did talk to WD and they did say they are working on a 4tb pc version

it has the normal (large) dp cable on both ends you would need something like this --&gt; http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00HNF0KF0/ref=zg_bs_6795232011_4 or http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00C7RJQPY/ref=zg_bs_6795232011_1 Hope the info Helps

I have this unit daisy chained to 2 thunderbolt drives from my mbp. Love the seagate unit though I have heard that constant switching of ssd units takes a toll in the ssd connectors. I should think you could daisy chain a monitor through something like a black magic mini recorder which I also love or... Get a thunderbolt hub. Jim gurney

I'm not exactly sure.....here is my setup: 1 - laptop native display 1 - hdmi out FROM laptop 1 - hdmi out FROM this universal hub although from their picture - looks like they have 2 monitors connected to the hub (1 is hdmi, the other might be the DVI port)

I purchased mine on Newegg and mine didn't come with one. Being as it is a regular Display Port, I would say no. Be sure that you do get an ACTIVE Display Port adapter though if you are going to be using at least 3 monitors (2 can use just DVI/HDMI). I found a $22 ACTIVE Powercolor Display Port adapter on Newegg.

If you want to plug a DVI Monitor into a MiniDisplayport/Thunderbolt, you could just use the Apple Mini-Displayport to DVI Connector.http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter?fnode=51

This will work with any display port whether it is onboard graphics or discrete graphics, and yes you could use it for an apple thunderbolt display.
