Hi,

Please find the information “Third party vendors will sell adapters that will allow connecting USB and FireWire devices to Thunderbolt ports. However, this will still be limited to the performance of their built-in components. For example, a FireWire 800 device still will not be able to transfer data more than 800Mbps.”
