Thunderbolt is a revolutionary I/O (input/output) technology that supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices through a single, compact port. It sets new standards for speed, flexibility, and simplicity. And it’s on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Mini and soon all Macs.
Thunderbolt, to put things into an understandable perspective, is about 10x faster than the Firewire 800 we're used to. Not only that, but at speeds of 10Gb/s, Thunderbolt is currently running at its slowest potential speed of up tp 30Gb/s currenlty meaning this technology will be around for a long time and is very scaleable. So, your investment in it will be rewarded over years to come. Now, your external hard drives or RAID arrays can potentially run as fast, or faster than even the internal drives on your Mac. Add to that the ablity to daisychain as many Thunderbolt devices as you like, and once again, Apple and Intel have embraced technology for the long term unlike short-lived technologies such as USB 3.
With built-in Thunderbolt technology - the fastest, most flexible I/O ever - the new Apple Thunderbolt Display can do things other displays simply can't. Of course, it delivers a brilliant viewing experience.
But connect it to any Thunderbolt-enabled Mac and it becomes a plug-and-play hub for everything you do. Features include a high-resolution 2560-by-1440 LED-backlit display, a FaceTime HD camera, high-quality audio, three USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 800 port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a Thunderbolt port for daisy-chaining additional high-performance devices.
Thunderbolt technology is a new, high-speed, dual-protocol I/O technology designed for performance, simplicity, and flexibility. Capable of delivering a blistering two channels of bi-directional 10 Gbit/s (1.25GB/s) per port of performance, Thunderbolt technology combines PCI Express and Display port into an interface using a single cable for connectivity to devices. Ideal for creative pro workstations, small servers, power users, and consumers who desire stylish high-capacity external storage with high performance and enterprise level data protection. Pegasus R6 is capable of delivering over 800 MB/s of bandwidth that is 20 times faster than USB 2.0.
