Can this product be used on a current macbook pro with retina display?

I got this G-DRIVE after purchasing an iMac last year and it works perfectly. I've had it for a year and a half and haven't had any issues.

This adapter is only for a firewire port, either 400 or 800. It doesn't appear that the MacBook Pro with retina display has a firewire port. You will need to purchase the Thunderbolt to firewire adapter first, then depending on if you have a cable that is firewire 400 or firewire 800 you may need the adapter. I would purchase the Thunderbolt to Firewire dongle first, then try your firewire cable. If it doesn't fit, then purchase the Firewire 400 to Firewire 800. Apple has the Thunderbolt to Firewire dongle, I just bought one myself. It is about $30.00.

Yes, I used mine with my Retina MacBook Pro. They are very plug and play, rarely had to fiddle with any settings.

I have not used a MacBook, but if it has a DVI port or a VGA port, it should work. Although, you may need to download different drivers.

Yes, the thunderbird port on the Retina Macbook pros accepts this Mini DisplayPort connector and it works.

Yes you can! My MacBook Pro 13inchs screen recently broke so I got a VGA adapter, hooked it up to my TV & it worked.

Yes. Display link recently released drivers for the Mac. Instead of installing the drivers on the cd, install the drivers from http://displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php. I use my adapter on my 2011 MacBook Pro and it works great.

I don't know. Mine is a mac retina model. However if your mac has a thunderbolt drive, I can't see why it wouldn't work...

I'm sorry, I don't have the retina display I just have the regular MacBook Pro 13 which it fits nicely.

Only if that Mac has a standard SATA drive/connector in it. Based on this article it looks like your computer uses a proprietary drive design and would NOT be able to use any standard SATA drive including the M550- http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-retina-display-faq/macbook-pro-retina-display-13-how-to-upgrade-ssd-storage.html

You can. I have been using in MacBook Pro for last 6 months runs much faster.

Yes as long as your Mac has a thunderbolt or mini display port builtin. This is a great option because it is an "active" convertor and will work with 4k HDMI displays making it very future proof.

I believe that it would. I don't think the display will determine if it works, but rather if you have the mini display port, which you should have. It is labeled now with the thunderbolt but is the same input as on older macbook pros. Works great with my 2 year old Macbook Pro and I believe it would work on your Retina Display Pro.

My macbook pro 15 inch does not have retina display and it fits perfectly. I do not know if it fits the same for macbooks with retina display.

Works great on my 15" MacBook Pro Retina Display with OS X 10.9.4. Not sure why it wouldn't work with any reasonably recent version of OS X as it is just a USB 3.0 device.

Yes, it works with my macbook pro 15" with retina that I just purchased in November.

Yes mate, as long as the Apple monitor has a DVI connector, plug the Mini display port into the Macbook, plug the DVI from the monitor and also plugin the USB from Apple monitor into macbook too
