Could the Jet Drive 720 be used in the enclosure as an external drives for late 2013 MBP w/ Retina?

Yes, but there are cheaper solutions that would work just as well. Crucial's M550 for instance.

yes, put the hard drive in an external enclosure to convert it into an external hard drive

i am sure it can i just haven't tried it as it would void the warranty. you could by a Seagate drive with the Thunderbolt interface and use that. i was thinking of trying that myself if i didn't go for buying a dRobo mini instead.

no. the device needs to have power to work. The largest external hard drive i have seen that can be powered by thunderbolt alone is 2TB

Sure you can, you just have to buy an enclosure for it. But why not just buy an external HD directly? I think it's a bit of waste to use this drive as external storage.

I have a Lacie external drive with a thunderbolt port connected to the thunderbolt port on my MacBook Pro. If your MacBook Pro or external HD does not have a thunderbolt port, there might be an adaptor you could get to modify. Hope this helps

Yes. You will need an enclosure, then connect via usb or thunderbolt, then format the drive Mac OS extended journaled or as need.

I can't really answer that as I have never considered it. I would like to say no, but then again, anything is possible. Sorry, that's the best I can give you. I will say that is is probably one of the best external HD enclosures I have every had. If it wasn't so expensive, I would buy another one.

http://www.transcendusa.com/Apple/jetdrivelite/ Compatibility list ate the endo of the page (apparently, no MBP non-retina compatibility). For that, maybe you could look to a regular SDHC 10 card

Hi, I'm not 100% certain but if I remember correctly I did use it as a clone at one point to backup OS10.8.6 before upgrading to 10.9 Mavericks and did boot from this Seagate via Thunderbolt. I hope I'm not misleading you though because there were a lot of other external drives floating around this same time, but quite sure.

According to this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5219#1I believe you should be fine. Read it to be sure, but I believe the Haswell based Airs run video through thunderbolt just fine.

I don't think so because if you use thunderbolt on Mac; the drive get very hot and automatically reject itself. But USB 3.0 will be fine and the drive is speed nearly the same for both USB 3.0 and thunderbolt.

Yes you absolutely can. i have 2- 4tb seagate go flex drives sitting on these and daisy chained together into a thunderbolt port on a iMac. they can also be used in the same mannor on usb 2.0/3.0 they work great

i Bought OWC 240GB Aura Pro Solid State Drive & Envoy Storage Solution for MacBook Air 2012 and its working really good. You should go to http://www.macsales.com/ and they have support Bye

I was going to install this SanDisk into my 2013 Macbook pro but decided to use an external case and just use it as backup instead of using it as my actual internal harddrive.

Are you using it for the primary boot drive, as in installing MAC Leopard to the drive, or just using it as a USB flash drive to store files and stuff to? For the former I have no reason to believe that I would not work however I have only tried it with Linux, not saying much cause Linux can be installed on anything. As for the later case the file system that the drive is formatted to is what makes the difference, unless Apple has some global external memory limit that I don't know about.That's a long answer to say there is not a reasonable reason that it would not work.

No, you cannot. You could use a Firewire drive with the Thunderbolt port of a MBP, but not the other way around. Sorry.
