Hello, this cable worked perfect. I needed to transfer information between my Mac's, I was using a FireWire 400 to 800, but I needed this adapter to go from FireWire 800 to thunderbolt. this works perfectly.

Yes. Thunderbolt 2 uses the same connectors as the original Thunderbolt, so Thunderbolt 2 devices will be backwards compatible with Thunderbolt peripherals and vice versa. But a Thunderbolt device connected to a Thunderbolt 2 port will perform at the Thunderbolt speed of 10 Gbps. Thunderbolt is basically a mini displayport with an apple name, so it should work.

There is no thunderbolt cable included with this adapter... That will have to be bought separately...

No, that would be the LaCie 2big Thunderbolt 2. You can read about the differences on LaCie's website.

From what you are saying, yes. Thunderbolt cable will connect from the Thunderbolt port of your mac to the Thunderbolt port of your display.

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.

If thunderbolt interface has this capability then it's fit. Otherwise i don't know :)

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.

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

I am pretty sure all of the thunderbolt ports are the same. We use this on an iMac and on a MacBook Pro without a problem.

The short answer is no. Your speed will most definitely be limited by the slow 5400rpm disk. It will not take full advantage of the Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 bandwidth. I'll be getting a Thunderbolt drive with SSD.

I think it is thunderbolt 1. It really won't make any difference. It is only a two mechanical drive enclosure, which can't exceed thunderbolt 1 max anyway. If yoou have two ssd's, raided, that might be a different story.

Oscar is correct. The Thunderbolt port is also the minidisplay port. Just buy an inexpensive minidisplay port to display port adapter from Amazon or Monoprice.

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.

Yes, it will. I have one screen connected with the thunderbolt and one with HDMI. Works well.

I see no reason why it won't work. There are faster connection options (thunderbolt) but they are a LOT more expensive. This is an inexpensive drive with lots of storage.

Sorry. I am not hundred percent sure as I only have MacBook pro, but i think it is compatible with all thunderbolts ports. Good luck.
