Re: A Thunderbolt SSD Drive question

No, it does not show up as a choice on disk utility, just my two internal 
drives, and my one large external USB drive.it is getting warm, after being 
plug-in for an hour, so I'm guessing it's getting power.

Yes, I believe it is the right cable. It plugs into the port that runs 
horizontally, instead of vertically like the USB ports. The drive is warm, 
after being plugged in for an hour, so I'm guessing it's getting power. It's 
just not showing up in disk utility or on my computer Drive list

Re: A Thunderbolt SSD Drive question

Hi, 
The ▪   Mini DisplayPort Plug is the same thing as the thunderbolt cable.
Its whats connected to it that determines whether it acts like a thunderbolt or 
a ▪ Mini DisplayPort device.
This was a bit of a surprise when I got my first mac mini!
Also they weren't very clear about making a distinction about them in the 
manual.
Does it show up as a drive choice when you run "Disk Utility"?

Just wishing to know, if you have the right cable, as there is a USB cable as 
well as a thunderbolt cable. This thunderbolt cable plugs into a small port not
