So the latest crop of SATA 3 SSD drives are able to easily meet the demands of ThunderBolt. The 6GBps SATA III spec doubled the previously dominant 3GBps SATA II drive specification. The evolution of the Serial-ATA drive interface specification to SATA III has been crucial for SSD ThunderBolt drives achieving peak Read and Write speeds. Their now shipping a diminutive dual RAID SSD drive solution (based on tiny mSATA SSD modules) with integrated cable that fits in the palm of your hand - at reasonable per-gigabyte pricing right out of the gate. Unlike the lower-end, single-port consumer SSD drives featured above, this LaCie drive features dual, daisy-chain ThunderBolt ports on the rear for connection with other TBolt peripherals and displays.Īvailable 256GB/512GB Dual-Drive VersionsĪkitio is proving to be an agressive new player in the ThunderBolt market, rapidly expanding it's line of ThunderBolt accessories and drives faster than others.

By leveraging multiple channels, 20GBps speed potential was possible on Apple ThunderBolt 2 enabled computers. 1st generation offers 10GBps peak speeds. Solid-State external drive technology using ThunderBolt utterly redefines the performance of Mac external hard drive storage. ThunderBolt technology and flash-memory based Mac compatible SSD external drives are a perfect match for the impressive data transfer rates of Intel and Apple's ThunderBolt ports.
