hey guys it's donal here and you are probably asking what I'm doing here with this Thunderbolt Drive and this crazy-looking thing right here well I'm not crazy and this thing right here is actually the most advanced Windows computer you can find on the market in fact it's so advanced I leave it open so we can enjoy every part of it well there's not many parts and the most important one is the motherboard right here so let's take a look at the port in the back right here unify a bunch of USB Ethernet and ISA and so on but if you look below a little bit right here there's a small strange-looking port and you guessed it that is a Thunderbolt port obviously Thunderball is no longer for Mac exclusively now this motherboard as you might have a guest is very expensive costing close to $300 but hey I don't know and actually have two of them just so that you can take a closer look this is the DeeZee 7-7 re - 75 K motherboard from Intel the very first funnybone certified multiple on the market the - 75 K means that it support unlock core i7 processor allowing for overclocking and all kinds of geeky stuff now apart from the support for Thunderball you speed 3.0 and many other features this motherboard also has something called the visual BIOS making matching it in cling overclocking a very easy job for the first time now it can be geeky without being a gig order to do is plug the existing Thunderbolt Drive or devices that make from Mac's into this motherboard and they win work yes you do have to reformat the storage device into NTFS so that they can work with Windows but that's all we have to do now the question is when the airport honorable display work - well who infighter voila there you go it does I did have to install boot camp drivers however now let's move this Thunderbolt Drive this is the Pegasus are far from promised is very similar to the our signal review last year the only difference is the r4 has only four drive bays you can host for four internal hard drives to offer 40 by or 80 by up storage space the DRI comes with a web-based software that helps manage and monitor is status such as changing its rate configuration and so on on the back the DRI has two Thunderbolt ports one to be hook up to a host computer and the other to another Thunderbolt device you can daisy chain up to five other devices this way the r4 is the first ride that comes pre formatted in NTFS which is the only thing you have to do to make any Sun of all dry world with Windows there will be more drives like that soon in my testing the r4 though not as fast at the r6 was very fast and easily the fastest external hard drives on the market for Windows for now it's not cheap unfortunately costing around $1,000 for 40 by or $1,500 for a terabyte and yes you do have to go buy yourself a Thunderbolt cable - there you go the very first window based tenable setup I know expensive but for hardcore user is with it for me is totally what the fun because I didn't pay for anything and that's only because I'm dumb no to find out more about the drive or the setup check out the full reviews and the write-up are calm and to find out more how to become dumb go check out my Facebook page or follow me on Twitter see you there
