does this drive include the thunderbolt cable?

I bought mine from Apple, when I bought my MacBook Pro, and it did include a short cable (approx. 18"). It may depend on the configuration that you order. The same drive will fit multiple docks, each with different connectors. Mine had the Thunderbolt dock for the drive. My guess is that it would come with whichever cable you need for the dock that you bought. (The listing says that it includes a 0.5 meter cable, where it compares the GoFlex, GoDesk, and other configurations.)

The drive comes with a USB3 cable. No thunderbolt connection on the unit-only USB.

I think so..cause base on the other review it comes with it. I will check once I get my order

The product description says...Take full advantage of your Mac computer's Time Machine software and automatically save and easily recover up-to-date copies of everything on your Mac - Thunderbolt cable is included for ease of use.

don't even think about the thunderbolt drive. the usb3 connection is about same speed as thunderbolt but it is less expensive ($100.oo). If the drive fails it is the first year

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

The drive came with a USB cable and a power adapter. I already had a WD 3TB HD for my mac. It has worked so well that I decided to get another one. Haven't had any problems with either.

YesThe cable you need is provided along with the Anker HD enclosure unit. Worked perfectly for me.You could still use the cable to connect the old SSD as an external drive, so it's not necessarily a one-time use.

The drive description did not state that it came with any cables. It was a bare drive.

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

I had a different USB connected back up drive prior to this model . I will say that the " Thunderbolt connection loads faster upon initial plug in .

No. This model only has one Thunderbolt plug. Additionally, I returned my product as it would not stay mounted to my Mac system. My other Thunderbolt drives will stay mounted for days and weeks, but this one would only stay mounted for a few hours and would then inexplicably unmount. LaCie Tech support- after a 2 day wait for a reply - could not resolve it and offered to take it back for repairs, but would not replace it. However, Amazon promptly took the return and refunded my money.

I see no reason why it won't work. There are faster connection options (thunderbolt) but they are a LOT more expensive. This is an inexpensive drive with lots of storage.

When I bought the drive the cable came with it. It's a custom-fit cable with a usb on one end.

Mine is set up so that the thunderbolt from my Mac goes to the thunderbolt hub. I then have a USB three coming out of the thunderbolt hub a USB three hub that I have. I then have many drives hooked into the USB three hub. It works seemlessly. Does your PC have a thunderbolt port in it? If it does, there is no problem going from thunderbolt hub to USB three hub in then out to peripherals from the USB three hub.

I'm not sure if it is the latest possible version because it does not support Thunderbolt. But I can say that it is 7200 RPM drive with both USB 3.0 and Firewire connections which seem to be the current state-of-the art. But it should provide more than adequate use for many years to come - that is the reason that I have purchased it for my system. I hasten to add that I have not received it yet and have no actual hands-on experience with this model although I do have two previous G-Technology drives and they continue to work flawlessly. I just need more storage capacity for my Timemachine files. I hope this info helps.

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.

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

There isn't a thunderbolt port on the Airport Extreme router so it will not work with this drive

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.
