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.

From the Apple site:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5219#1212. Will Apple's Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable, Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter, or Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter work when plugged into the Apple Mini DisplayPort on my Mac?No, the Apple Thunderbolt cable, FireWire Adapter, and Gigabit Ethernet Adapter require a Thunderbolt port to function. They may still fit in a Mini-DisplayPort connector but will not be recognized or otherwise function.

Yes. I'm using mine with a thunderbolt to VGA adapter and it works just fine

Yes, I hooked it up to my MacBook Pro with no problems. Right before I put it back in the box and sent it back

I think so, as long as you have an adapter for the thunderbolt to HDMI or DVI your good to go.

I am sorry. I don't know what's Thunderbolt adapter. I cannot answer your question.

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

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

I would think that would work. I personally use the "Thunderbolt" to DVI or VGA.

No you will need to use the thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter and then use a Firewire 400 to Firewire 800 adapter.

Yeah you should be able to. We think this cable is amazing because we don't need any other attachment. We leave it plugged to the TV HDMI slot, then just plug the thunderbolt end to our mac pro when needed. After the initial set-up on your mac settings for display and audio, it automatically mirrors when connected. Love it!

No, definitely. In fact there's a chance it wouldn't work at all even if you did have a thunderbolt display because it's cheaply made. Its a totally different connection anyways.

yes you should be able to. I have 2 hooked up to a mac air book. use the thunderbolt connection for one and get a usb to hdmi converter (radio shack has it for about $40). Hope this was helpful..:)

I have used it with both, works perfectly with either. Get the thunderbolt adapter.

Plugged my firewire 400 into this from scanner then plugged the other end into my macbookpro firewire 800 to thunderbolt adaptor. It worked fine.

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.

I am currently using this adapter on my 2013 MacBook Air which, according to Apple.com, only has a "Thunderbolt port (up to 10 Gbps)". I can attest that yes, it will work.Also, question 18 on this Apple support site is relevant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219
