![]() ![]() ![]() I DO NOT have access to a Mac Book Pro with Thunderbolt 2 on it, but I am now dying to get one, so I can do REAL Thunderbolt 2 network speed tests. The performance is as good, or better than a Mini SAS 8 bay array with an ATTO R680 or Areca 1882x card using an “old” Mac Pro and the x16 lane slot (slot 1 or slot 2) – we can typically only get about 900 MB/sec with an 8 bay configuration, so the Thunderbolt 2 performance is impressive – but I am nervous about the “ramp up” in speed, because when you hit that PLAY button on your NLE software, you don’t want to make an excuse for any possible stuttering for the first few seconds. It does not instantly show super fast speeds (as ALL Thunderbolt drive arrays perform) – it takes a second or two to get up to 600 MB/sec, and grows to 800 – 900 MB/sec in about 5 – 6 seconds, and then peaks at just under 1100 MB/sec. It takes about 8 – 10 seconds to get up to 1100 MB/sec. Now, this is an exaduration (no different than Promise showed such great response on the R6 Pegasus Tbolt 1 when they first released it with the RAID 0 tests). I don’t know if they will rename the box now.ĪJA System Test write speed is 900 MB/sec, and READ speed (using a 16 gig file, and 2K format) is 1100 MB/sec. ![]() Drive array is the Maxx Digital ThunderRaid (Thunderbolt 2) 8 bay. But this is a 24 TB (RAID 5 configuration) eight 3TB drives, all Thunderbolt 2. I only had access to the horrible 3TB Toshiba SATA drives for these tests (so we really need to use HGST Ultrastar drives for more accuracy). ![]()
