So, what’s so big on the Apple-branded thunderbolt technology compared to the speedy USB 3.0. Some might think the 10 Gbit per second transfervolume might be enough, but the ability to daisy chain up to 8 devices is what makes this interface so potent and exciting. The recently introduced LaCie Little Big Disk thunderbolt series is able to pump out a transfer speed of up to 252 MB/s with a regular 1TB HDD, but when chaining four Little Bigs you’ll be privileged with volumes up to 780 MB/s. ALl that crammed in a LaCie typical high-class case designed by Neil Poulton and made of aluminum.
