Hi all
bought my wife a G-drive mobile with thunderbolt port. I'm aware it is not a real thunderbolt device but she likes to have the two USB drives available.
The problem is now that her late 2010 MBA 11' does not show/ pick-up the drive if connected via thunderbolt, but it does so via usb. Furthermore when I insert the plug the screen goes blank for about 1/2sec.
The drive works fine on my 2014 MBPro 13" with thunderbolt.
I don't know if I ask the obvious or might there be another reason, is the thunderbolt port on the MBA 11" faulty, or???
Any suggestions would be welcome!!

BTW I wish all of you a really successful and awesome 2015!!:cool:
