At CES 2024, only Thunderbolt 5 prototypes were shown now, the first SSD storage solutions with a Thunderbolt 5 interface are slowly but surely entering the market. LaCie has just expanded its popular Rugged SSD series with the Thunderbolt 5-equipped "Rugged SSD Pro5," which it claims is "the industry&s fastest scratch disk for creative professionals." The LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5 offers read and write speeds of up to 6,700 and 5,300 MB/s. The Rugged SSD Pro5 is available with capacities of up to 4 TB. LaCie explicitly targets media professionals who want to edit 8K and 6K RAW material in real time with the new Thunderbolt 5 SSD. The Rugged SSD Pro 5, like its Rugged counterparts, is designed to withstand drops from heights of up to three meters and is IP68 certified for dust and water resistance. However, only a limited number of buyers will currently benefit from the Thunderbolt 5 variant to our knowledge, only 2024 Mac and PC computers currently have Thunderbolt 5 support, and not even all of them. For Macs, currently only models with M4 Pro and M4 Max processors support Thunderbolt 5; for PCs, the Razer Blade 18 gaming laptop comes to mind, and MSI presented its Z890 motherboard in October, which should also support Thunderbolt 5. As a reminder: Thunderbolt 5 brings a considerable performance boost. Instead of the previous synchronous, bidirectional 40 Gbit/s, Thunderbolt 5 provides 80 Gbit/s, and asynchronous or boost mode can even reach 120 Gbit/s. Prices and AvailabilityThe new LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5 is available from this month at a price of 429.99 (2 TB) and 689.99 (4 TB). more infos at bei www.seagate.com deutsche Version dieser Seite: LaCie stellt Rugged SSD Pro5 mit Thunderbolt 5 und bis zu 4 TB vor |
