3tb each and swap them with 2 of the 2tb seagates. I don't mind getting 2 seagate st300DM001 drives.

Right now I have 2 samsung series 830ssds 512gb and 4 seagate st2000DM003 2tb hdds the samsungs work fine and are not on the list. I wondered if anyone had used a different 3tb or a 4tb in the unit. both are seagate barracuda st3000dm001 firmware cc4h or cc43. Only 2x 3tb drives on the compatible list. USB 3.0 complements Thunderbolt.I have had this unit for a while and I need more room. Give it a few years, and you'll soon find out the true power of Thunderbolt. 2 giant corporations backing the initiative is nothing to sneeze at. There'll be a lineup of people buying that technology at a premium price. Imagine running a external GPU on your Retina Display MacbookPro when you dock your laptop. Just like SSDs, they will come down in price and next thing you know, you'll be asking yourself why in the world would I not use Thunderbolt. The trouble is you make it seem like Intel are bunch of morons building a interconnect that nobody uses. It clearly is a performance oriented technology that opens up a whole new world, especially on the mobile side. Many people need to look past the role Apple played. EC requires more space, hence it will be a greater rarity now that TB is out. It makes sense because it doesn't require a lot of space. Worse, you can't count on EC to be available. For a mobile user, Thunderbolt is the way to go.

Plus ExpressCard only lets you connect a single device. The new ExpressCard standard (v2.0) ups bandwidth to slightly more than PCIe 1.0 x2, which still isn't that fast compared to TB (PCIe 2.0 x4 uplink).
Everything is limited to a PCIe 1.0 x1 connection. External USB 3.0 and ethernet are possible but unlikely because they are already on the mobo.įrom a practical standpoint, external PCIe may cheaper, but it's pointless from a performance standpoint. Read Thunderbolt can externalize anything. and when multiple chip makers can make it then Intel will be the only one worth buying (much like their network interfaces) because nobody can do quality like intel, but at least the price will come down. Until there are multiple chip makers who can make it, then it will continue to be too expensive. Thunderbolt (as much as I love the idea) is made and operated by Intel, and Intel wants to charge a premium for it. Finally it will be an open standard that multiple manufacturers can adopt. And because it is already standardized and cheap technology it will be easier and cheaper to implement.
Chip makers will not have to add a new and expensive tech to the device, the connection will just siphon off lanes that are already there. but we have not seen that happen over the copper version that was released.The external PCIe will be cheaper and easier because it will be hosted directly by the mobo chipset, or the CPU by tapping into already existing hardware. It can send PCIe, it can send DP, it was supposed to be able to send USB 1/2/3, as well as Ethernet, all over the same wire. and when multiple chip makers can make it then Intel will be the only one worth buying (much like their network interfaces) because nobody can do quality like intel, but at least the price will come down.ĬaedenVthunderbolt is a medium that allows for multiple interconnect protocols to be transmitted over the same wire.

You think the specification will somehow make things cheaper? Nope.thunderbolt is a medium that allows for multiple interconnect protocols to be transmitted over the same wire.
