Apple Releases Thunderbolt Cable. Now All We Need Are Thunderbolt Devices

Up until today, owners of Thunderbolt-equipped Macs were pretty much left to dream of the super-fast port’s potential. The only useful thing you could do with the Mini DisplayPort shaped hole was to plug in the same Mini DisplayPort monitor cable you plugged into your old Mac. Thunderbolt has been pretty boring.

Now, at last, you can buy a Thunderbolt cable from Apple. The two-meter length of plastic and metal will cost you a hefty $49, steep even by Apple’s standards. Still, even this pales to some of the still-rare Thunderbolt-equipped peripherals available. Apple will also sell you a Promise Pegasus 4×1TB RAID drive for $1,000. And no, the cable doesn’t come in the box. You’ll have to buy it separately.

And if you’re lucky enough to own both a new MacBook Pro and an iMac, you can connect them together in Target Disk Mode. This lets you mount one computer as an external drive on the other, just like in the old FireWire Target Disk Mode. This should be ridiculously fast.

The Thunderbolt cable, as well as a Thunderbolt software update for compatible Macs, is available now.

It is often said that “a picture paints one thousand words”, therefore with this in mind and whenever we can we’ll aim to add a brief video clip in the website content, that relates directly to the Firewire Cable concerned.

With regard to such devices as notebook computers, it is usually true to claim the fact that where a viewer may well be focused on one specific model type, as a result of looking at a video clip with regards to a slightly alternate product, the viewer will often alter his or her selection of product, subject to whatever they may have discovered from the video clip.
