Re: the G Drive Mobile Thunderbolt is not working on mac mini but working on macbook pro

Does that drive have an external power supply or does it get its power from the port of the mac? I'm asking because I read a review of a drive that also had thunderbolt and usb 3. Because it used the power from the port the performance for the usb 3 was superior to the thunderbolt in trans

Re: the G Drive Mobile Thunderbolt is not working on mac mini but working on macbook pro

Hello: yes, this is ok, with USB it's working ok. but am using this External HD in Music recording. so, I guess that Thunderbolt is better than USB even 3? but as you mentioned, there is word indicating that this mac can use it's thunderbolt for External media. the reason why am in a hurry is that

Hi, The Late 2012 Mini has USB 3 whereas the 2011 model has USB 2. I'm thinking that it would be worth a try to leave the video connected to your Mini and connect the drive with the USB cable instead. If things work well, then that should suffice. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Cana

Re: the G Drive Mobile Thunderbolt is not working on mac mini but working on macbook pro

Re: the G Drive Mobile Thunderbolt is not working on mac mini but working on macbook pro

Hi Ramy, Yes, that is entirely possible. I'm still concerned though that it is causing that much of an issue. I've worked with quite a number of Minis without a monitor connected without that drastic of a performance drop. Is the G-Drive thunderbolt only, or does it have USB-3 as well? Late

Hi, When looking at https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT202638 which explains all the ports on the Input/Output panel on the back of your Mini, it looks to me that the Thunderbolt port on that model of Mini is only for display port purposes, not for dri
