hey guys johnathan here with TLD with a quick look at the Apple Thunderbolt 2 firewire adapter which allows you to cope firewire based peripherals such as hard drives or audio interfaces to machines like the MacBook Air or the retina MacBook Pro that don't have firewire connections you will need to be running OS 10 version 10.7 dot 4 or later for this to work but aside from that it's pretty simple and straightforward it's plug and play just pop it in your Thunderbolt connection and voila you have a firewire 800 connection at your disposal the first test I did was very simple and just hooked up an older firewire 800 hard drive to it recognizing no problem ran some benchmarks and there really was any performance degradation so it passed test number 1 test number 2 was actually the main reason why I was looking forward to this that's to use it with an audio interface so up until this point I actually had to use the interface with a thunderbolt display and I couldn't really have a mobile setup but now this allows me to do that hook it up no problem audio interface works perfectly so it passes test number 2 test number 3 was actually daisy chaining the hard drive to the audio interface to the computer that actually worked no problem as well so past test 1 passed test 2 and number 3 no problem so that's pretty much it there's not really much else aside from the fact of does it work or does it not work and obviously you guys can see from the video it works as advertised it's 29 bucks on for the money it's worth picking up if you guys needed it so thank you guys for watching if you enjoyed it make sure hit that like button if you have not subscribed already feel free to do so and I will see you guys later
