Review on Apple Thunderbolt Cable 2 0 M by Chris Hazzard

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't waste your time

I bought this cable to use with my new iMac and my Thunderbolt-enabled Drobo. He worked for probably a month before he started randomly disconnecting from the computer. At first I thought there was a problem with my new Drobo so I contacted Drobo support and they told me to unplug the cable and use a different one to see if that was the problem. It turns out that was the case. The cable is now unusable and I am now using USB 3.0 which works fine until I decide to spend the money on a real Thunderbolt cable. Don't waste your money trying to save a few bucks and buy the real deal like I did. I have contacted the seller and tried to return the item but it has been over 60 days and they will not vouch for their item. Learn from my mistake.

Pros
  • Thunderbolt technology supports blazing-fast data transfer over two independent 10Gb/s channels each.
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
