A ThunderBolt cable is NOT included. I just bought this thing and totally freaked out when I realized that.

Hi. The newest hardware version of the Seagate backup plus that I have is for USB 3.0. This version is only available in USB 3.0. Seagate sells an adapter separately that can support thunderbolt. I think that you then have to buy a thunderbolt to firewire 800 adapter then, finally, you would have to buy a firewire 800 cord as the adapter (made by Apple) is very short. The thunderbolt adapter for the Seagate Backup plus is 150 dollars and the adapter is 30 dollars so you are looking at a lot of money. Alternately, you could buy the previous generation of the Seagate backup plus. Search amazon.com for "Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB FireWire 800/USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive for Mac STCB3000100" and you will find it. Hope this helps. Patrick

Yes, it does have it's own power cord and it does have two thunderbolt outlets to hook up to your computer and then daisy chain up to 5 additional devices for a total of 6. This adapter does not come with a cord but if you purchase one with the drive, the cable does come included.

Mine was just a drive in a box. However, Seagate drivers are online with good support, especially Seagate Tools, which is why I prefer this brand.

The drive is a bare bones drive, so no cables included. Most people have a spare SATA connector in the computer especially if replacing an old drive. This is a great buy!

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

As previous individuals stated, this drive does not come with a SATA cable, but it does include a mounting bracket/adapter and screws. I've not used it long enough to comment on performance or durability, but initial impressions are very positive.

Yes, it comes with all the cables. One cable to charge in electrical outlet is also used to connect to the computer..the adapter is removable. This same cable can also be used if you want to hook it up to the newer t.v. sets..just remove the adapter, plug in USB into the t.v. Not sure what you are inquiring about the manual. The basic operation is in the manual but it also comes with a disc that you use in your computer or laptop to view more detail...which Im not a big fan of. I like to have a full manual in hand as I was trying to be more familiar with the camera. Hope I was able to help. Yes, it comes with all the cables.

No it does not come with a cable. My MacBook Internal harddrive cable worked just fine.

Just received this 1/07/16 and it now comes with a different cable than is shown in the photo. My cable is a standard USB 3.0 (blue rectangular) male on one end and a "micro" USB 3.0 at the other end which connects to the hard drive enclosure as can be seen in the photo. They seem to has stopped shipping the Y shaped cord. There is no power adapter or cord to plug into the power port of the enclosure. I was not able to get my computer Windows 7 or Windows 8 to recognize the drive. It shows up under devices but, Windows does not assign it a drive letter or recognize it as a usable storage device.

No, there was no cable with the drive. My cable came with the control card.

No adapter is included, but one is not needed. This drive runs fine on the USB 3.0 ports on a new MacBook. I have mine plugged in to a Belkin USB 3.0 hub with it's own adapter, but have run it directly off my MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display.

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.

Yes, SATA data cable and SATA power adapter are included, along with software. You should not need to buy any additional cables or software. Does not come with screws/fasteners. However, some others here say they only received a bare drive without cables or software. Odd. It didn't come in retail packaging, but it came with everything needed.

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

there not included. this is a bare drive. if you got a retail kit it may come with cables. but that would be another 10 dollars for a 2 dollar cable

Your hard drive should have already come with a set of cables (either HD/Firewire/USB). This case does not come with any cables and the picture provided by Amazon only shows how your cables can fit into the case.
