Intel’s Thunderbolt technology can transfer data at speed of 10Gbps

Apple recently unveiled the new MacBook Pro lineup that comes incorporated with Intel's new high-speed Thunderbolt technology.


Intel claims that its Thunderbolt technology, which was originally called Light Peak, can transfer data at a speed of up to 10Gbps.

It means that Thunderbolt technology consumes less than half a minute to move a complete Blu-ray film from disc to PC, at a much faster speed than existing USB 3.0. It may be noted here that USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 offer data transfer speeds of up to 800Mbps and 480Mbps.

However, planning & marketing director of Thunderbolt, Jason Ziller, said that Intel would not ditch USB.

Speaking on the topic, Ziller said, “We don't see it replacing USB. USB is a mainstream IO on all products, and Intel will continue to fully support it.”

Thunderbolt technology supports both the PCI Express as well as DisplayPort protocols. Intel said that it picked up PCI Express due to its flexibility; and it selected DisplayPort as it was optimized for use with PCs.

Meanwhile, Engadget has claimed that innovative Thunderbolt technology can be incorporated by other manufacturer in the future machines as Apple does not have exclusivity over the use of the technology.

Seagate Introduces 3TB Barracuda XT HDD

Seagate has launched the 3TB Barracuda XT hard drive for Rs 14,900 excluding taxes. While this may not be the first 3TB hard drive, it simplifies compatibility issues with legacy BIOS and operating systems that do not natively support drives over 2.1TB. Older OS like 32-bit Windows XP require additional drivers and software patches to support 3TB hard drives. The Barracuda XT ships with Seagate's DiscWizard software that makes it easy to configure the OS to enable full 3TB capacity support.




The Barracuda XT hard drive is equipped with 64MB cache, which comes handy in optimising cache intensive applications like gaming and video editing. The drive fully supports the Serial ATA 3.0 standard which provides a theoretical throughput of 6Gb/s. The 3.5-inch form factor drive spins its platters at 7200RPM giving a fair balance between speed and energy efficiency. With a cavernous capacity of 3TB, the drive should hold up well to the burgeoning collection of audio, video, photo and game data. However, the hefty price of Rs. 14,900 that makes the cost-per-MB sound quite ridiculous.
