[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1938703, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Bob[/B] - well, not a TB expert at all, but in this [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface)']Wiki Article[/URL], the original TB was first introduced in 2011 and TB 2 released in 2013 commercially, so the original versions goes back a while, thus I assume your 2011 has the first TB, if the connection is present on that device? About your devices NOT showing when connected (assume to your TB port) - the first two pics below are from my old 2015 MacAir, on the second image I attached my OWC TB backup drive (assume it has a TB controller?) and still states 'no device connected' - what does that mean? The external drive works perfectly w/ that port and is mounted in disk utility. Out of curiosity, I connected one of my external SSDs via USB-C to my new M2 MacAir - the third pic still states 'no device connected'; now the drive is not a TB device, if important. We may need some input from a member more familiar with Thunderbolt? Dave :) .
