Can this drive be used with Thunderbolt when fitted with an Apple adapter?

The only problems that people have had with the apple adapter is with bus powered firewire 400 & 800 devices, due to the fact that thunderbolt supplies something like 7 watts while firewire can be in the 20-45 watt range depending on the hosting device. But since this drive is powered off of a external source you will not have that issue. you should have no problem running this drive from a thunderbolt adapter.

Can't say that I've tried, but don't think it's possible. But, this is hands down the greatest product that I have purchased

Yes, this drive will work with a Mac that does not have a FireWire port if you use Apple's Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter.

The only place I have used thunderbolt is the thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. The drive itself does not use thunderbolt, only FireWire 800 or USB. If you are asking if you can go thunderbolt to FireWire, I don not know, I have not tried it.

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.

Can I plug a thunderbolt display into it with Mac Pro early 2008 (MacPro3.1)?

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.

This will only work with Apple Mac with thunderbolt input. This will not connect to any USB based devices

Yes you absolutely can. i have 2- 4tb seagate go flex drives sitting on these and daisy chained together into a thunderbolt port on a iMac. they can also be used in the same mannor on usb 2.0/3.0 they work great

Hello, I use it on a mac pro, but when I install the hard drive from my old imac worked fine, the connectors are the same.

I had purchased the thunderbolt version for Mac which is an adapter that comes with it. Thunderbolt to my knowledge is only Mac. But USB 3.0 will work on a PC. see the included statement in the description "Install the downloadable HFS+ driver for PC and use the drive interchangeably between Mac computers and PC's without reformatting"

Absolutely, you shouldn't have any problems using this drive with Leopard. I've used this drive with the last three operating systems without any issues.

SSD would fit on the thunderbolt connector. Not sure about opening the drive though

Well you probably should not have chosen this drive. It's not trivial to connect it to a Mac. This drive is primarily designed as an internal PC drive. Depending on the ports available on your Macbook, the best way to connect this drive is to get a drive enclosure that holds a SATA drive and has an external connector for firewire or USB. I think a newer Macbook has only thunderbolt and USB.

I don't think so! The new thunderbolt port is different, a little bit more large.

It should work fine as long as the hard drive and the adaptor both use the same interface cable. The MacBook Air used a ZIF socket on the HD

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 sure it would work but I have not used my hard drives yet. You might have to get a Thunderbolt connection.

There isn't a thunderbolt port on the Airport Extreme router so it will not work with this drive

I just Received this drive. It is not compatible with the thunderbolt adapter (no I/O sockets for the adapter). It only has a USB-3 and power connection. I'm not sure where they came up with STDU4000100 on the sales page because the model # on the case is: SRD00F2. I will be questioning Amazon on this.
