The 3TB GoFlex Desk for Mac External Drive with Thunderbolt Adapter from Seagate allows you to utilize Thunderbolt technology with a large 3TB external drive. It is perfect for anyone with a lot of large files that could use very fast transfer rates in their workflow--like photographers, videographers, or audio producers.
A big benefit of the Thunderbolt interface is that it supports both high-resolution display and high-performance data devices through a single port. At 10 Gbps, the Thunderbolt adapter is up to 20x faster than USB 2.0 and up to 12x faster than FireWire 800. Transferring high definition movies and other large files can now takes seconds versus minutes when compared with older interface technologies.

The included GoFlex Desk for Mac drive can now take full advantage of the blazing-fast Thunderbolt connection on your computer. With dual Thunderbolt ports, it can support daisy-chaining up to 6 compatible Thunderbolt devices, minimizing clutter on your desktop.
Connect multiple devices to turn your computer into a powerful workstation with just one interface. Since this is built for Mac computers, you can also backup using Time Machine to ensure your blazing-fast data transfers are secure and backed up.
