Thunderbolt is here

[Nate Stephens]

Alex, Based on 6G MiniSAS tests though, an 8-drive RAID0 array will be faster (~ 900MB/s initially) than a 2-drive SSD RAID0 array (~840MB/s) in terms of transfer rates.

Are you saying that the 2 drive Thunderbolt SSD Raid 0 array is just 60mb/s slower?

I can deal 60mb/s any day for the right price and a smaller package (black box).

Laci could just hit a home run with their 2 SSD ThunderBolt hard drive if they have the right price.

And it has been a long time since Lacie really hit the ball.

So what are the “troublesum” characteristics of SSD drives that we should be aware of?

What are the projected “troublesum” characteristics of Thunderbolt?

Theory vs reality.

No! 🙂 I have no idea how LaCie box performs – it may be as “slow” as 400MB/s.

None other than price. 🙂

Thunderbolt is also dual channel too! So potentially 4x the throughput of USB 3. So running a display and storage off the same cable is possible.
