By the way the Mac Pro (a 6 Core 2013) was also creating a. Not much use for editing 4K maybe but pretty snappy I think you would agree. This all took about two minutes start to finish.

In the meantime, to answer your question, I bought a $35 EZ Dock dual bay USB3 dock on Amason, used a couple of SATA 3, 7200, 2 TB drives I had lying around and used Apple Disk Utilities to create a 4 TB RAID 0. To access this section, click on the Library tab from within your accounts. I am waiting for prices to come down and more options to go TB2 RAID. The Library is a collection of freely available packages, decals, audio, and plugins that you can use to help create the experience of your dreams Please keep in mind that unlike clothing and gear, Library items will not be able to be worn on your avatar. This doesn't have much to do with USB 3 vs Thunderbolt, there are cheaper Thunderbolt drives too: A single SSD over USB 3 is actually faster than this HDD Pegasus over Thunderbolt.

USB 3 is fine for single drives as it is roughly as fast as the SATA connector and especially HDDs as they are about 1/5th that speed. Sure, TB is much faster than USB, but both are MUCH faster than any single HD, right? But will I notice any performance difference at all? USB has the advantage to working with practically any computer, as well as being far less expensive. So for those of us who simply want to add some external storage, say a single 3.5" 2TB 7200RPM, do we need Thunderbolt? Or is USB3 fine? If you were to get SSDs separately, you can get 1TB drives for about $500 for 1TB so say you get an 8-bay enclosure for $1500 with no drives and 8x $500 1TB SSDs, that's $5500 vs $1500, then SSD is 3.5x more. Two of them on a chain in RAID0 runs at 2GB/s write, 2.5GB/s reads. Lacie's Thunderbolt 2 drive shows the performance possible:Ī single drive with dual SSD blades up to 1TB runs at 1.1GB/s write, 1.3GB/s reads. It's only SSD drives that get the benefit of Thunderbolt 2 so the Pegasus would have to be filled with those. But it wouldn't be necessary to do this even on a MBP as they have two Thunderbolt 2 ports. A 4K display would need 3840 x 2160 x 60Hz x 24-bits = 11.9Gbits/s or 1.5GBytes/s.

Thunderbolt 2 is not really needed for a drive like this but it does mean you'd be able to put a 4K display on the same chain. Those with a Mac Pro have little to worry about here, but MacBook Pro owners may find diminished bandwidth depending on setup and workflow. When using a 4K monitor, however, the story changes somewhat considering the available pipeline will be mostly reserved for pushing pixels. Read and write speeds did not come close to hitting Thunderbolt 2's 20Gbps barrier.

This is more than enough bandwidth to edit full resolution 4K video in real time. In our tests the logical drive clocked in with speeds up to 540MB/s read and 454MB/s write, while real-world sustained speeds came in at just below 300MB/s. Once you've checked the requirements above you are ready to proceed.Pegasus2 lives up to the Thunderbolt 2 hype. Uninstalling old SSD and installing new SSD modules Apple COnfigurator 2.12 or later on the second Mac.USB-C to USB-C cable - must support data as well as power.We will walk you through the process of removing the old module or modules, installing the new ones, restoring the T2 firmware, and reinstalling macOS before finally moving your data back.Īnd speaking of data, if you are planning to restore from the previous drive, it is important to ensure you have a recent backup that you are able to use. That said, the process is entirely manageable. Rather, it now involves not just more work to swap the parts, but a second Mac to aid in the restore. It isn't as easy as swapping out a drive sled and restoring from a backup. Whatever the reason, upgrading the primary drive is now possible.Īs Apple's machines have become more complicated - and more secure - what used to be a near-trivial procedure is now a multi-step, labor-intensive process. Many apps, scratch disks, and other components are stored on the primary drive by default and sometimes users may need access to all of the PCIe slots. Use cases determine which of those solutions is best, but there are benefits to upgrading the primary drive.

Mac Pro owners now have three options for more storage on their device - they can choose an external storage drive such that connects over USB or Thunderbolt 3, they can choose an internal option such as the Promise Pegasus R4i or OWC Accelsior 4M2, or they can upgrade the stock internal SSD thanks to newly released upgrade kits from Apple.
