2014-02-14
hi guys dumb goes here and this is the new runnable purple drive from el gato the well thunderball drive plus let me go straight to the point here this is the fastest purple drive on the market period in my testing with Thunderbolt it offered the sustained will will copy speed up some 280 megabytes per second for writing and almost a 310 megabyte per second for reading by far the fastest i've seen among drive of the same type let me show you i have here a folder of some 56 gigabyte of data and it texted a few minutes to transfer it over to the dry note that you have this kind of performance only if you have a newer mac such as the new mac pro or this macbook pro with retina display right here with odor thunderball max you can see slightly slow performance though still very fast now this is the second purple drive home el gato ever known and the only difference in Toyotas I is the newly added support for USB 3.0 the drive also work with EP 2 point 0 but you should only use it with computer that support you speed 3.0 and that's because in my testing you're also the fastest you speed through triangle storage device I've seen it offers some 240 megabyte per second for writing and some too and 90 megabyte per second for reading almost triple the speed of other you speed through playing on purple drive over all the new al gato drive here offers performance you usually see in high-end great storage systems not from a simple purple drive just to put things in perspective I was shocked by how fast it was and I have almost never been shocked before now that is shocking the new el gato is buzz power meaning you just need one cable for both data and power connections it comes included with one-third of all cable and one USB 3.0 cable obviously you only use one of these cables at a time out of the box is pre formatted for macs but it can easily reformat it from windows or into expat for both platforms it doesn't include any software at all now the price is not cheap costing some 480 dollars for 256 gigabyte or some nine hundred dollars for 512 gigabyte but in this case you truly get what you pay for really from on the drive check out my phones with us at calm but basically if you're looking for something portable and super fast and you have a computer that supports either Thunderball or USB 3.0 this is the prime example of money well spent even almost as well spend at the time you used to watch this video that's because I'm don't know and this has been the first look at the Thunder bone-dry plus home el gato
