The one thing that is driving me crazy is the uneven heigh… ganeshts: I bought the same one (it is 1600p, not 1440p).You can keep adding layers, but can you do so at ever-decreasing costs? RyanSmithAT: I'm more curious what the economics look like.But I have a *really* hard time believing Dell and AMI's story here. RyanSmithAT: This is a very interesting story.

The dual Thunderbolt 2 ports and the software will allow users to create larger extended RAID arrays, with the example given in this press release showing 16 drives across four devices all in the same array. The software interface will also include drive monitoring, e-mail notification and rebuild capabilities. If we get a unit in to test, we will let you know if that figure holds true.Īlongside RAID 5, the device will support RAID 0, 1, 4 or 1+0 using the software RAID solution. This number is not listed as either the read or write speed, and OWC is keen to point out that their software RAID 5 solution is up to 35% faster than other hardware solutions. The ThunderBay 4 RAID 5 Edition will support four drives up to 5 TB each (this may change depending on QVL), and is rated at 675 MB/s for sustained data rates. Anand has previously looked at the Pegasus storage options, but OWC is delving more into the mix with a Thunderbolt based DAS using software based RAID 5.

Alongside supporting high resolution displays, Thunderbolt is all about the daisy chaining of both storage and displays. One of the most poignant uses for Thunderbolt has always been Direct Attached Storage (DAS).
