Will Seagate thunderbolt adapter work with this drive?

I ordered one over a year ago, and used it with the thunderbolt adapter. It works great.

I just Received this drive. It is not compatible with the thunderbolt adapter (no I/O sockets for the adapter). It only has a USB-3 and power connection. I'm not sure where they came up with STDU4000100 on the sales page because the model # on the case is: SRD00F2. I will be questioning Amazon on this.

I do not know. Used for Seagate Back-Up Plus and works well. You could call Seagate and ask if they have the same connection ports.

I have no idea. Your model is not one they covered in the comparable seagate products. If the voltage is right then there is a good chance the plug that goes into the Hard Drive id the right size but that is no guarantee.

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.

sorry for the long delay getting back to you. In my case, actually my son's iMac, it was much less than compatible. The performance with DISK UTILITY backup was very poor (15 times worse than expected) and it was not recognizable as a boot device. So, I can't provide a positive endorsement for the Seagate and iMac.

I don't know that you can find a firewire to Thunderbolt adapter going from new tech drive to old tech computer.. as said already.. it normally goes the other way around.

This is essentially just a hard drive enclosure. Also, being that this is a Thunderbolt box, you will need to use an operating system that will acknowledge the thunderbolt ports. Are you planning on using one of the drives as a boot drive for another computer?

First buy the thunderbolt connector. It is less expensive to buy it from Apple. I then purchased an external disk drive. Good luck

Not sure, since I do not own a Mac computer. This question should be referred to the Seagate Customer Support.

Depends on the model. If you have a newer one then the Thunderbolt connection will work.

Absolutely. Like most products, USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. You can also upgrade the Seagate to Firewire 8.0 or Thunderbolt with available connectors.

Seagate GoFlex Desk and Seagate Backup Plus both fit this Thunderbolt base. I'm not familiar with the Free Agent drive though.

The drive as it is , is a USB3 . To have it Thunderbolt capable you would need to buy the optional Thunderbolt adapter. Would the Thunderbolt adapter workd on the 1 TB drive ?. I dont know

Yes, this drive will work with a Mac that does not have a FireWire port if you use Apple's Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter.

I purchased this StarTech.com item with Seagate Barracuda 7200 500 GB SATA 6.0 Gb-s 16 MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST500DM002. They worked together.

Yes I swapped in a Crucial 512GB M4 SATA. Thunderbolt works fine but believe it or not the USB3 interface had faster read times!

Thunderbolt has not changed. The adapter will work with any Thunderbolt connection.
