Hitachi releases 8 and 4 Terabyte Hard Drives with Thunderbolt ports

DateMonday, September 12, 2011 at 11:22PM

We're finally seeing the first of the long awaited Thunderbolt-capable external drives. Hitachi's 8 and 4 Terabyte G Drives are designed with the vaunted Thunderbolt ports that allow  bidirectional data transfer rates of 10 Gbps, which is roughly twice the speed of USB 3.0 and 12 times faster than FireWire 800. With the MacBook Air and Mac Minis now rocking Thunderbolt ports, even consumer-level users can take advantage of the high speed througput now available. No news on price or availability yet but these should be coming soon. Video editors rejoice!
