[Chris Murphy] “Twice you’ve referred to TCIP protocol, so now I’ll have to assume it’s not a typo and I’ll ask you to define that acronym because I don’t understand it. If you mean TCP/IP”
Actually, I looked back over several posts and I noticed the same typo three times. Clearly should have been TCP/IP – that’s spell check at work…

Well, it’s clear that your USB 3 drive is way too slow for media playback.
You called the USB 3 drive your render drive initially, now you’re calling it an archive drive. Whatever you’re doing with it, it should not be used for any media files that you need to playback seamlessly in Premiere.
FYI, even the throughput of your faster T-bolt scratch drive is not all that great, you really should consider a four or six drive T-bolt RAID to get truly seamless playback.

Andy, telling us how many free megabytes you have tells us nothing without knowing the drive size – you need 10 to 20% free space on ALL hard drives for them to function properly in a video environment, otherwise the system has no room to write temp or cache files, which will bring any system to its knees.

If you haven’t already, download the AJA System Test and run the Drive Speed Test on all drives, then report your results back here please. Using the free Speed Test is the only scientific way to really know what’s happening under the hood of your hard drive subsystems, otherwise you’re just guessing.

Hold on there just a minute, while David L. doesn’t toot his own horn, this was not the first time his membership on the Lucas/Apple NLE development team has been mentioned here. Take a peek at the link below where I first intro’d David and his story to the FCP masses. 🙂

And your hardware, including media drive(s), is precisely what?
And, how much free space do you have on the above mentioned drive(s).

They probably paid three to four times more on the original – when they read that FCP X is three to four times as fast as all other NLEs they adjusted accordingly. 🙂

You don’t seem to have read what I wrote, or seem to be missing something. So, let me repeat, Thunderbolt has no built-in TCIP protocol, without it you get packet loss, and thus inconsistent video playback over networks.
***Just to be sure you understand what we’re talking about here Chris, we are NOT discussing 10GbE connectivity via Thunderbolt expansion chassis – the original poster wants to share video from a single T-bolt RAID over T-bolt, with no server, no expansion chassis, and thus no 10GbE PCIe NIC cards.

[Chris Murphy] “Since there’s no hardware, and thus no hardware offloading, it’s all being done in the kernel. So Thunderbolt 1 vs 2 isn’t the issue. Clearly the hardware has the ability to do the work when using 10GigE physical cards.”
Chris,
There is simply no TCIP protocol built into Thunderbolt, so packet loss inevitably causes video playback issues across the network.
