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

Yes Kathie, it does come with a thunderbolt cable. If you decide on buying the drive, run it with thunderbolt first and make sure the cable is not heating up. The first drive I received either had an issue, or it was the cable itself. When I powered it up, the cable became extremely hot. Keep that in mind.

Depends on how you look at it. One Thunderbolt cable gets you 3 more USB ports, wired ethernet, audio out and mic in, HDMI for a monitor, plus another Thunderbolt port to replace the one you used. We have several such setups at the office that I think are fairly typical. Wired ethernet, a desktop monitor, a wired USB keyboard and a USB to Lightning iPhone cable are all connected to the Elgato dock. A single T'bolt cable then hooks up to the user's MacBook Air when it's present. This is much simpler than connecting everything via individual cables, and in the case of the MacBook Air provides both more USB ports than the computer has, and a wired ethernet port that the Air doesn't offer at all.

Jessica - you should have received a cable that goes from adapter to the computer. If not, you may want to reach out to the vendor to let them know it was missing. All the units I have purchased, had the cable with it.

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

You did not mention whether the Thunderbolt-equipped laptop was a Macintosh. I know of no other laptops that have Thunderbolt ports, so if the laptop is a Macintosh, then the answer is yes.You will need an 800 FireWire cable connected into your Mac Mini and the other end connected into the adapter, and then the adapter plugged into the Thunderbolt port on the side of the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. Neither the Mac Mini nor the Macintosh MacBook Pro or MacBook Air needs to be turned off. The ports are "hot swappable".

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

No cord. The end cap comes off exposing a USB end that plugs directly into your computer

This model has a Mini DisplayPort connection, which looks like a Thunderbolt connection, but is not actually a Thunderbolt connection. The actual port is not marked on the side of the laptop.Explanation of how these ports are used: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20043524-263.html

When I bought mine about three months ago I believe there was no power supply in the box? I was not happy given the expense of the HD and then this item. So I bought the power supply. It was either missing the power supply or the Thunderbolt cord. Inspite of feeling nickel and dimed to death when the entire pkg came together Shazam incredible download speed!

To the thunderbolt port which is next to the USB port. I would buy the product from apple instead of this. It stopped working after 1 month.

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.

No power adapter. Just the cable from the external hard drive to the computer.

It will come with two cords. Firewire (9 Prongs) and USB. You need an adapter for Thunderbolt, or, if you need, for Firewire 6 prongs.
