Question: what's on the ends of the cable? A USB connector.
Document: Might as well use a USB cord. It wasn't any faster or better. I did a migration assistant data transfer from my old machine and it took just as long as when I used a USB cord AND when I used a Firewire. Don't bother. It's a worthless waste of 30$. Use a Firewire cable and leave it overnight to migrate.
I purchased the Lacie 1 TB hard drive through the Apple store which works well. Problem is thunderbolt cable that came with the device failed after a couple weeks. iMac did not recognize Lacie. Purchased Apple new version thunderbolt 0.5 cable and life is good! I will say the Lacie 3.0 USB cable did work well.
Thus the price is stupidly high.It works, it does what I need it to do. Like USB cables several years ago, the price is ridiculous. It will hopefully get better soon...
If apple wants to make thunderbolt the next USB standard, the price NEEDS to come down on these things. They transfer data extremely fast, but peripheral makers aren't going to support it if no one can afford the cables.
Really fast transfer speeds. Does not overheat like other thunderbolt brands. Works great with my Lacie Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt Series 1 TB External Hard Drive (9000294).
What can you say about an Apple product. It is &#34;Apple&#34;. Great product, the right length, and priced....Apple. Not all thunderbolt cables are the same. I bought a cheeper cable and was shocked when the connector fell out of my hard drive with the lease amount of dislodgment. The hassle of interruption is not worth the minor savings. Think Data!
I bought this for use with aSeagate Thunderbolt Adapter, that I'm hooking up to an iMac for the purpose of editing video files.It was the least expensive of the Thunderbolt cables I could find - apparently there aren't any generic ones out there, and this one's manufactured by Apple.Works like a charm, though - transfers data much faster than the standard USB 2.0 port or even Firewire.
You need to get thunderbolt from point A to point B. There's really only one choice and you have to pay it. From a technical standpoint these seem to be pretty good cables.
while i am not a thunderbolt man..i just changed over to it..the cable was apple ceritified what more to say
I needed this item . It works fine. What else can be said about a cable.
Answer: Nope.  This is a Thunderbolt cable on both ends.
