  • Câble Thunderbolt de 50 cm fourni, Autoalimenté, Compatible USB 3.0, Performances de la version SSD
  • Performances limitées par le disque dur, Performances en écriture décevantes de la version SSD, Prix du modèle SSD
  • Vendu environ 170 euros dans sa version 500 Go et 215 euros dans sa version 1 To, le MiniStation Thunderbolt HDD est un bon disque dur externe offrant les deux interfaces les plus rapides et les plus communes aujourd'hui sur les Mac. L'interface Thunderbo...

  • Pour un prix d’environ 200$, vous obtenez un disque assez véloce qui vous offrira de très bonnes performances, et la flexibilité du choix de l’interface pour votre ordinateur présent et futur. Avec des vitesses d’environ 110 Mo/s en lecture et en écrit...

  • Abstract:  MiniStation Thunderbolt HD-PATU3系列一共分成3種型號,去年底曾經介紹過配備1TB硬碟的HD-PA1.0TU3,另外2款則是搭載固態硬碟,而且在近期才正式上市。這系列產品都採用相同的外殼設計,銀白色相間看起來相當素雅,質感處理在眾多蘋果風產品之中,筆者認為屬於細緻的上乘之作。先前提過硬碟版的溫度高了些,受惠於固態硬碟運作中承受溫度上限更高,而且發熱量通常比較低這點,高溫現象已經不復存在。透過CrystalDiskInfo查看得知,128GB顯示型號為C400-MTFDDAC1...
