[QUOTE="themagichoof, post: 1630422, member: 314671"] I've never used Thunderbolt before but this used Macbook Pro mid 2012 has a Thunderbolt port on it. Apparently the connector is the same thing as a minidisplay port. I intend to hook up an external monitor to the Thunderbolt port for a proper 1080p monitor, but now that I think of it, I could really use an external hard drive for storage. Would it be possible to buy a Thunderbolt hub, then connect that to my Macbook, then have both a monitor and an external hard drive connected to the Thunderbolt hub and have it all work fine? I'll have to look into getting an external enclosure that has a Thunderbolt port on it. I intended on using a 3TB 3.5" SATA II drive in it. I've already got the Thunderbolt/mini display port to DVI adapter on the way. [/QUOTE]
