I have a Pegasus J4 (from 2014) that has thunderbolt 2.0 ports. A mini-DP (Display Port) cable is the same connector and a lot cheaper than a Thunderbolt cable. Will a mini-DP cable work with my iMac and Pegasus J4?
WIll mini-DP cable work instead of thunderbolt 2.0

Hi Scott,
A thunderbolt cable will carry a displayport signal, but a displayport cable can't do thunderbolt. So you can't connect storage with a mini DP cable even though the connectors are the same.
