what's going on guys Jonathan here with TLD and I got a demo of the Lacey little big disk Thunderbolts one terabyte hard drive sitting beside me making a lot of noise that should hopefully stand out to you guys because to me it's almost like nails on a chalkboard I can't believe how loud this thing is from what I can tell it sounds like the fans are going a million miles per hour and they're not slowing down if you kind of cover it up it'll dampen a little bit be still here almost like a little high-pitched hum and to me I don't know about you guys but that's almost unworkable especially if you're trying to do any voice overs or video production that is really annoying I don't know if this is a defective units or not sure exactly what's going on definitely going to try and get ahold of Lacey possibly go back to the apple store and see maybe that's just a faulty units other than that I mean the concept of everything that's going on here is freaking awesome I got this hooked up to the macbook air and it's daisy chained to the Thunderbolt Display and it all works seamlessly so aside from the noise it's fantastic now if we go into the disk speed test because I know a lot of you guys wanted to see that we're going to hit start now i know on apple's website i think the advertised speeds were up to 230 megabytes per second on their box in Lacey's defense they're saying they're getting an average read speed read write about 180 megabytes per second so the read speeds right now about 200 so that's very impressive about nearly twice that of a firewire 800 drive so the performance is there the technology is there hooked up to the thunderbolt display to the macbook air it all works awesome just the noise is driving me crazy so if we head over to disk utility you can see there are 2 500 gigabyte hard drives in a raid mode now because of the size of this enclosure obviously they're gonna be 2.5 inch form factor drives so I'm not sure that's the drives in combination with the fans or something not going on I tried downloading or seeing what software there was as far as the Lacey software disk but it was only a backup solution so there's nothing about controlling fan speed or anything like that so I will keep you guys posted if anyone else has picked one of these up let me know your experience with it is it just as loud as this one faulty are these things noisy in general so if you guys missed the unboxing to this go to click that right here feel free to subscribe and I will catch you guys later you
