Can TRIM be enabled over a Thunderbolt connection from Mac OS X? The AnandTech review did not answer this definitively. Thanks!

Check out this link. It answers the question thoroughly. http://www.mactrast.com/2013/11/enable-trim-ssds-os-x-mavericks/

No. This a thunderbolt connection which is used on new macs. You should probably look for a lightning connector.

Yes, this adapter is an up to 1GB hard wired ethernet port (connect the ethernet cable to it) and other side of the adapter connects to the MAC Thunderbolt port - you now have a wired ethernet connection. You can turn off the WIFI signal. Typically the MAC will default to the wired connection if there is one.

No, you cannot. You could use a Firewire drive with the Thunderbolt port of a MBP, but not the other way around. Sorry.

To the thunderbolt port which is next to the USB port. I would buy the product from apple instead of this. It stopped working after 1 month.

You did not mention whether the Thunderbolt-equipped laptop was a Macintosh. I know of no other laptops that have Thunderbolt ports, so if the laptop is a Macintosh, then the answer is yes.You will need an 800 FireWire cable connected into your Mac Mini and the other end connected into the adapter, and then the adapter plugged into the Thunderbolt port on the side of the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. Neither the Mac Mini nor the Macintosh MacBook Pro or MacBook Air needs to be turned off. The ports are "hot swappable".

That's great--but it doesn't help me on the Mac! :-/I'm curious why they put a 256mb restriction; have a 1 gb card and it's not recognizing it on the L2 (it's greyed out).

Once it is in the thunderbolt port on a computer it shows up to the operating system as a FireWire 800 device with an LSI chipset. Just like having a FireWire port. So, yes, it should be just fine.

&lt;http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20043524-263.html&gt; Go read this good article. Turns out Apple caused some confusion (but in a good way as far as functionality) by making the newer Thunderbolt port the exact same physical connection type as the older Mini Display port. But here is the good news, for newer Macs for which this port is advertised as Thunderbolt, the port is "backwards compatible" as a Mini Display port. It is also useable as strictly a Thunderbolt port. So yes, this cable will work for hooking up your Mac Mini 2012 to a HDMI TV via the Thunderbolt port. Thank God Apple did this. Especially since the 2012 Mac Mini uses the Intel 4000 GPU which has a flaw that manifests itself in the Mini's HDMI output. This cable provides a nice workaround until Intel/Apple issue new drivers to fix this problem (which has been publicly acknowledged by Intel/Apple). Enjoy!!!

I have a new (this year) iMac and it does support thunderbolt cable, but 2009's do not. An ethernet cable will connect any mac to another mac.

Thunderbolt is the fastest and best option to go with. Firewire is half the speed of it. So if your mac has thunderbolt use it. But make sure your mac has it before buying it.

No, this is not thunderbolt compatible. Instead of trying to figure out how to connect this via Thunderbolt, consider getting a USB hub if you have run out of USB ports.

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

I may be misunderstanding the question, but TRIM is a SSD-specific protocol related to internal drive cleanup. The CalDigit T3 contains 3.5" traditional spinning/mechanical HDD's, so TRIM support isn't something that would affect the T3. Again, I could be off-base, but I think the two things (TRIM & the T3) are mutually exclusive.

Thunderbolt came out only in 2011. Those iMacs don't carry that port. In a few words... That cable will never work in those mac's unless you buy a firewire-thunderbolt converter adapter. Good Luck!!

This unit does not have a thunderbolt port. The MacBooks do not have a thunderbolt port. Only the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro may come with a thunderbolt port.

I am using this product to connect my macbook pro (late 2012) to the typical connecting wire I use with my router ...I sorry I don't know what a cat6 is etc. but internet pix of cat6 look like my "typical connecting wire". thunderbolt to ethernet connector works fine for me and my macbook pro.
