The page says "Macally 2.5-Inch SATA to Firewire 800 and USB3.0 SuperSpeed Hard Disk Drive Enclosure." Thunderbolt is a completely different protocol than Firewire or USB3, however, most Thunderbolt hubs do have USB3 ports, which work at very high speeds even on older Thunderbolt Macs that have only USB2 ports. However, from my experience with Thunderbolt hubs, one cannot boot through those USB3 ports, as the Mac doesn't seem to recognize OS's through the hub.

It has a display port in addition to the USB ports but I don't know if that's the same as a Thunderbolt port. Sorry I can't offer more help. Note the packaging does not list Thunderbolt amongst its ports/capabilities.

Here is one more... more expensive but probably works better and is faster as it plugs into the thunderbolt port.Sonnet Echo ExpressCard Pro Thunderbolt Adapter & SxS Media Reader

I have both. I have had several G Tec devices (USB and FireWire) both mobile and non-mobile prior to the Thunderbolt, and still use two of them. The Thunderbolt is great! I have found each of my G Drives to be first rate. The G Drive also looks better and is less bulky than the La Cie. My La Cie is good, but it gets hotter than the G Drive. I understand that others have found the La Cie to get hot so mine is not an unusual case. I like the G Drive better, but that is a personal choice. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

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.

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 does, I'm running 10.10.1. There is also the thunderbolt interface. But yes go ahead and try this one.

No, Thunderbolt is all together different. Your old Macbook likely supports firewire 400 which again is different. The cable does not support firewire 400 or thunderbolt however, =there are adapters and likely cables available that support the conversion.

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.

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

Mini Display and Thunderbolt are the same from what I understand - My Macbook Air has a thunderbolt and it works fine.
