I have a Retina MacBook Pro and 2 30" monitors. Monitors have dual-link DVI and HDMI but no DisplayPort or Thunderbolt. Can anyone help me figure out the best way to connect them?

Seems like people have been complaining about this cord from Apple for a long time:

This one has better reviews:

Any other options?

To connect both 30"s, can I plug the USB cords into a USB hub? There are 2 Thunderbolt ports on the left side of the laptop but only 1 USB.

Thank you.

What are the monitors? I don't think Dells support 2560x1600 over hdmi for example. Easiest way is thunderbolt, but I actually don't know of any 30" thunderbolts currently.

edit: From what I can tell, displayport to DVI Male is the way to go and I think those cables are only available from third parties. Also if your monitor supports it, you can connect one of them with a HDMI cable.

An adapter like the ones I posted or something else? Link?

Thanks for the help.

This is what I was thinking of: http://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Ad...derbolt+to+dvi

I got your PM. From what I can tell XHD3000 only supports 1080p resolution over HDMI, because it only has HDMI 1.2 (you need 1.3 or higher for 2560x1600). So Display Port to DVI is the way to go and I don't see why that shouldn't work.

I use DisplayPort to DVI/VGA/HDMI (have used all 3 variants) with my Mac Retina and they all work fine with 30" monitors and LCD panels alike. I bought the cheapest ones from monoprice.
