Does this drive have a thunderbolt port, as well? One of the photos shows one.

To answer the question, no. The model I have, has 2-800 firewire ports and 1-USB3 port. The other picture which is confusing is not the one that I received. It has an esata port, 2-800 firewire ports and 1-USB2 port. Neither one has a Thunderbolt Port. This is the one with Thunderbolt...

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

No, this one does not have Thunderbolt. Firewire 800, USB 2 or 3, and ESATA

First remember that this is a pair of hard drives, with up to 233 MB/s data transfer rates. This is well short of maximum of Thunderbolt 1 or 2. Furthermore, it does not have a second port to make a chain, so downstream data rates are not relevant. So, though it is Thunderbolt 1, changing to Thunderbolt 2 would not make any difference to any related or relevant performance.

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.

Yes it does, I just installed a 1 TB Seagate HD in it with no issues, it is a SATA drive.

Yes I swapped in a Crucial 512GB M4 SATA. Thunderbolt works fine but believe it or not the USB3 interface had faster read times!

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

I currently use this with a Crucial SSD and it works great. I don't know about booting from a Thunderbolt drive. But brand of SSD shouldn't matter for functionality as long as the drive has a standard SATA connection. So if you can normally boot from a Thunderbolt drive then you should be able to use this dock for that purpose.

This drive comes with a Firewire cable, an eSATA cable and a USB 3 cable.It has two firewire ports, one USB 3 port, and One eSATA port. No Thunderbolt.

This is essentially just a hard drive enclosure. Also, being that this is a Thunderbolt box, you will need to use an operating system that will acknowledge the thunderbolt ports. Are you planning on using one of the drives as a boot drive for another computer?

Yes it does. I am using it currently with a brand new macbook pro that has thunderbolt 2.

It's very different with this drive , I am having difficulty in transferring large files as 500 GB in with normal hardisck, but with this I am very happy and relieved, especially with Thunderbolt , but if you mean the thunderbolt with normal disk .. i don`t know actually .

It does not. But I concurrently purchased one from amazon or Newegg for a very inexpensive amount (I'm sure it was under 5 dollars). So far, the drive has worked flawlessly.

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

It has 1 USB 3 and 2 USB 2 ports in addition to hdmi and gigabit Ethernet port all of which run through the thunder bolt port. There is no additional Thinderbolt port though so if you want to connect any thunderbolt devices they must hav a second port

I have this unit daisy chained to 2 thunderbolt drives from my mbp. Love the seagate unit though I have heard that constant switching of ssd units takes a toll in the ssd connectors. I should think you could daisy chain a monitor through something like a black magic mini recorder which I also love or... Get a thunderbolt hub. Jim gurney
