Default Re: Seagate Backup Plus 3TB - Thunderbolt

Or, seagate needs to make a firmware update for these enclosures that use the weird connector.

I have a 3TB GoFlex Home NAS drive for Time Machine backups While I haven't seen the accessory cables in person I thought the actual drive connection is a standard SATA+Power adaper. Every single one of these Seagates I've looked at has a "Green" drive in it also. FWIW
