Thunderbolt technology developed by Intel on collaboration with Apple as they made a new breakthrough from USB, PCI Express and FireWire to create a fastest input/output technology designed for performance, simplicity, and flexibility. Thunderbolt I/O technology gives you two channels on the same connector with 10 Gbps of throughput in both directions. That makes Thunderbolt ultrafast and ultraflexible. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800. Thunderbolt I/O technology provides native support for Mini DisplayPort displays. It also supports DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, and VGA displays through the use of existing adapters.
Thunderbolt Technology Performance comparison:
USB 2.0 - 480 Mbps
Firewire 800 - 800 Mbps
Express Card - 2.5 Gbps
USB 3.0 - 5 Gbps
Thunderbolt - 2 Channels 10 Gbps
Thunderbolt technology enables using the thinnest and lightest laptops and connecting to the extra power and performance.Thunderbolt technology was specifically designed with professional audio and video applications in mind as a video editor, imagine connecting high-performance storage, a high-resolution display, and high-bit-rate video capture devices to handle all the post-production.
Thunderbolt technology data transfers for backup, sharing, and editing are tremendously accelerated using Thunderbolt products. The new Macbook Pro and iMac has already with Thunderbolt technology for storage available in Promise Pegasus (R4/R6), LaCie Little Big Disk and Sonnet Fusion Raid.
