Question about thunderbolt storage & RAID

[Rick Lang]

Fabrizio, you may not have noticed the detailed description regarding CalDigit T3 RAID 1 performance:

“When a RAID device is configured into a RAID 1, it traditionally reduces the speed of the drive because it will mirror the data onto all of the drives. However, the T3 with SSDs can actually keep relatively the same read speeds when configured into a RAID 1. This means that users will get the same read performance, and three automatic back-ups of their data. Traditional 2-bay RAID 1 devices tend to have speeds of around 190MB/s. The T3 in RAID 1 with SSDs can reach read speeds of 820MB/s. That’s over four times the read speed over traditional 2-bay RAIDs!”

You’re right, Rick, I didn’t notice it. It sounds great.
