USB 3.0 Vs. Thunderbolt

May 24, 2012 - also wouldn't want to share thunderbolt bandwidth with usb devices

May 24, 2012 - I wouldn't want to waste precious thunderbolt ports on devices that dont need that kind of speed

May 9, 2012 - It's CPU constrained but not as much as USB.

May 7, 2012 - Nobody ever uses RAID-0 with SSDs?

PacoBell Says:

May 7, 2012 - Sure, but how many USB OTG devices do you know of compared to the overwhelming majority of host/slave devices? Plus, this was meant to make PCI-E external. How many PCI-E cards do you need?

PacoBell Says:

May 7, 2012 - So, 7 months have passed and your "very soon" prediction has failed so far. Time to eat crow?

PacoBell Says:

May 7, 2012 - Thunderbolt isn't CPU constrained like USB, though. It's basically a PCI-E breakout technology. Maybe you're thinking of USB?

KDRiLL3Rspec Says:

May 3, 2012 - Cough, CPU and/or GPU speed, cough.

May 1, 2012 - Cough, multiple SSDs in RAID 0, Cough.

Apr 22, 2012 - Who cares how fast Thunderbolt is! Most HDDs don't go anywhere near the max. It's almost useless!

Mar 10, 2012 - Yeah, its nice to have all that speed, but if you can't use it whats the point? An external hard drive, sataIII to usb III, will operate at nearly the same speeds. Sata III to thunderbolt however, wont. There will be a 14Gbit/s difference.

kalijasin Says:

Mar 10, 2012 - I do not really see the point of thunderbolt since there is nothing that can operate at those speeds. There are no true thunderbolt to thunderbolt devices. Like I said, even an external hard drive in a case that supports thunderbolt would still be sata II or III.

kalijasin Says:

Mar 10, 2012 - Thunderbolt is good for external hard drives. You need the high speeds for transferring large amounts of data. Right now though, external hard drives are all sata II or sata III. That means they are limited to 3 or 6 Gbit/s. Since thunderbolt is 20 Gbit/s thats a difference of 14Gbit/s you are not getting.

Mar 6, 2012 - Well, my Dad would probably be more interested in this video than me, because he seems crazy about the latest and the greatest, and the most mainstream commercial you can get. To me it seems like a waste of time to even discuss this. I am fine with IEEE1394, I am not sure why I would need 5GB transfer rate, as I cannot really utilize such speed for any of my applications: video capture, editing, MIDI, etc. Also I'd rather learn how to use programs mpeg2enc and mencoder, than discuss USB 3

Jan 15, 2012 - I know that very well. I just want someone to make a video about it since I know some people interchange in using the word for the other & say they're the same thing. :)

Jan 15, 2012 - 400mbits for 3.0? TROLOLOL DISLIKE get your facts right

Jan 15, 2012 - lol? java is a programming language to make programs, games etc and javascript is for websites.. nothing more to it

webDes33 Says:

Sep 28, 2011 - external Gpus are coming to mac with thunderbolt very soon! yeah!

apcorom Says:

Sep 27, 2011 - I think Intel will promote Thunderbolt, because USB is from intel too. So Intel will promote its new standard.
