I found stumbled across the Delock SATA to Thunderbolt adapter through a Google search, and I was hopeful that it might perform as well as it looks on paper. Unfortunately that's not the case.
The biggest issue is how difficult it is to get a drive working with it. After plugging it in and attaching a drive, it's hit or miss whether that drive will actually mount on my Macbook Pro Retina.
A secondary issue involves hot swapping disks. Once a drive is ejected from the Mac's interface and another is inserted, the Delock will not mount the second drive. I had to disconnect everything, re-attach, and go through the same hurdles I had to go through to get the drive working in the first place.
When it does finally mount the performance is far below the stated 6 gigabits per second potential, with benchmarks on a high-end SSD capping out at 3 gigabits per second even though the drive can go faster than that.
The bottom line? This product needs work. I can't recommend it.
