It does the job that needs done.

First of all, I'm happy this product exists. I bought an MX02 LE when I was using a PC laptop so I used the Expresscard on it. Then the laptop was stolen by some cowards who, I suppose, needed the laptop more than I (kinda like the guy from Bicycle Thief) and I picked up a new MacbookPro. I was delighted to learn that I just needed this box and didn't have to upgrade my whole dang MX02 LE (with MAX!). I've never had connection issues, and since I picked up the longer Thunderbolt cable, my field setup is much more flexible than the Expresscard and (short) Matrox cable. I haven't read the documentation enough to know the proper way to disconnect the thing so I've always powered down completely but I think there may be a safe way to disconnect it from the computer without powering down. Seems fairly well built and it's great it doesn't need external power. It's a simple box with 2 holes, just make sure you put the B side of the Matrox cable facing up.

About Matrox MXO2

The Matrox Thunderbolt Adapter adapts your existing MXO2 so that it can be used with a Mac laptop or desktop system with a high-speed Thunderbolt port. This adapter connects to a Thunderbolt cable (not included) on one end and, on the other side, to the multi-pin cable that came with your MXO2 box - any product in the line, whether a laptop or desktop model. This adapter, an endpoint device (no further Thunderbolt daisy-chaining is possible), allows you to establish up to a 10 Gb/s connection between your MXO2 box and your computer.
