Customer Ratings & Reviews

In my office there are many new Macs (iMacs, Macbooks, iPads). Trouble is everyone wants to move their old stuff to the new machine, but no one has a cable. Fastest one to use is a straight Thunderbolt cable. Just connect old and new machines (Mac or PC) and use the Apple Migration Assistant located in the Utilities Folder (inside the Applications Folder). Depending on how much there is to migrate it can take 30 minutes to several hours. Make sure the new machine has an equal or larger hard drive size as the old one. The cost of this at Best Buy is reasonable. Highly recommended.

This cable is incredibly fast, the WiFi connection using 802.11AC was estimating that it would take over 20 hours to transfer 600gb, got the thunderbolt cable the next morning as when it ran over night, it was still estimating 12 hours remaining in the morning, I stopped the transfer and started over with the thunderbolt cable and it took less than 2 hours to complete and it was a super simple set up for super fast transfer. Thunder is a sound wave and sound travels very slow, especially compared to light, this cable is blazing fast, you see the lightning flash sometimes seconds before you hear the thunder because light travels so fast and thunder is slow, this cable is not slow it is faster than when I transfer files at work over gigabit connections. The only drawback is that the cable is a bit pricey but it was worth the $$$ for the speed, Apple products aren't cheap for anything so I knew I what I was getting into when I got an apple to start with.

We use some just-now-legacy hardware at my work, which requires thunderbolt cables for our I/O Video consoles. These are great cables, just pretty upset that Apple is producing so few, and moving on to other adapters and dongles and formats so soon.

Thunderbolt is fast and using the Migration Assistant to transfer from an iMac to a MacBook Pro needs fast. I love how it cut the time down in half!

Quality cable. a little pricey but all of apples stuff is. Used the cable for quickly transferring my date from my old macbook to my new one.

Works perfect for connecting two iMacs together so that they can work more hand-in-hand. Quality cable.

Simple cable ideal for very fast transfer between macs or macs and hard drives. Good quality cable and simple to use, a bit expensive for a simple cable though.

Recently I purchased a Mac Mini and wanted to sync my MacBook Air to it...this cord made the transfer of information zoom by. Originally, I was attempting to do this using my home WiFi and it said the entire process would take 30+ hours. Needless to say, I wasn't waiting that long for the syncing, so I ran to Best Buy and purchased this cable and the transfer was done in less than 2 hours! Well worth the additional expense!

It's a thunderbolt 2 cable, so it's really fast. Cable itself is high quality and doesn't get mangled (though the 1.6' length helps). Short length works great from my audio interface to my computer. I do wish these were cheaper.

I bought this cord so that I could make my MacBook Pro a second screen for my iMac but I found out it doesn't work that way. You can only make the iMac a second screen for the MacBook. Other then that the quality of the cord it awesome and I can tell that it will last me for a long while.

Great quality and works well with my thunderbolt display and mac mini

Cable performs exactly as expected, and the usual high quality of genuine Apple products. The cable is shorter than you think! I thought I'd like to have less extra cable on my desk, but I can't even connect my iMac (port on the back right) to my MacBook (port on the left) unless they are sitting next to each other with the ports facing. Go with the longer cable, it's worth it.

In the past it would take up to half a day to transfer data from old iMac to new iMac using target mode. I bought the Thunderbolt Cable and had my new iMac up and running with my old data is less than 2 hours. It was a flawless, high-speed transfer. Certainly worth every penny.

It's a cable, it's fast, it's short and thus it's easy to travel with.

I like this cable. I also like USB3 because it does the same job. But what I really like about this cable is that it's for Apple, hence, a lot less overall hassle. I work with a lot of other peoples computers and Apple is a LOT LESS BUGGY! Thanks Steve Jobs!!!

I have two Imacs about 5 feet apart sharing a single external drive. Was hard to find a Thunderbolt cable over 2 or 3 feet to get both connected and still be able to hide the wire. Got the last one on the shelf at Best Buy. Works great!

As expected, this product works seamlessly with my Apple/Mac devices. I have never worried that I would get something home and have difficulty installing/adding/updating any of my Apple/Mac devices!

Easily connect your Apple iMac®, Mac mini, MacBook® Pro or MacBook Air® to compatible peripherals with this 6.6' Thunderbolt cable, which features 2 independent channels, each supporting data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps.

I purchased this cable in order to backup my Mac from Time Machine. Over WiFi, the time to complete was stated as about 20 hours. With this cable it went down to 27 minutes! Not much else to say other than FAST.

I came into Best Buy looking for a cable that would allow me to link my school's iMac to my MacBook to view my work. The salesperson recommended this cable and it worked beautifully.
