Is there an adapter for 400-Firewire to Thunderbolt?

The fix is a little kludgy... but it can be done. The trick is to look for a "400" to "800" dongle or hub. What you are trying to do is come out of the dongle or hub with a "FW 800" cable and into the Apple Thunderbolt adapter dongle (about $30). I have lots of FW 800 hard drives that I use to feed my new Apple PBRP... and it works just fine ;-{)

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

not sure which way you are going but... I have this thunderbolt drive connected directly to thunderbolt connection on my computer and then about 5 firewire800 drives daisy chained to it with an adapter.

Yes, Amazon does show the thunderbolt adapter. Seagate Backup Plus Portable Thunderbolt Adapter (STAE128) The Thunderbolt adapter is separate but does provide faster speeds over firewire and USB 3.0. Please remember you need to have a thunderbolt port to use with the adapter. Also consider getting a thunderbolt cable if you get the adapter. I did not notice the thunderbolt adapter including thunderbolt cables. Thunderbolt ports are common on most newer apple computers.

I have recently started using it with apple's thunderbolt adaptor. I haven't had any issues whatsoever, it works just as well as it does with firewire.

yes, this VGA Adapter in the picture for displaying external screen, not for the square port which is for firewire.

The only problems that people have had with the apple adapter is with bus powered firewire 400 & 800 devices, due to the fact that thunderbolt supplies something like 7 watts while firewire can be in the 20-45 watt range depending on the hosting device. But since this drive is powered off of a external source you will not have that issue. you should have no problem running this drive from a thunderbolt adapter.

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

I don't think so...OSX won't drive all the interface out the firewire port, as it does for thunderbolt.

The LaCie 9000481U does not include Thunderbolt; it has two (2) FireWire 800 (9-pin) ports, one (1) USB 3.0 port (USB 2.0 compatible), and one (1) eSATA 3Gb/s port. The unit is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 and up.

If the camera is a DV cam (firewire) I would suggest getting a Firewire 400 to Thunderbolt adapter (if your Macbook supports Thunderbolt).

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.

I checked my manual and can find nothing relating to a firewire port. I also looked for a reference to IEEE and could find nothing on that either. It has HDMI ports, ethernet, and USB ports. Hope this helps. Wouldn't this type of port be listed in the tech list? Good luck finding what you need.

Hi, I have a NUC model DC3217BY, with firewire and I have used the apple thunderbolt adapter with it. For it to work you will need latest Broadcom Ethernet NetXtreme Desktop/Mobile drivers. You can download them from station-drivers web site. This will give you gigabit networks speeds, way fasters transfer rates of the obtained with any USB 2.0 to Ethernet adapter.
