Das kleine RAID-Gehäuse ist solide verarbeitet und genügt mit zwei Thunderbolt-Anschlüssen auch professionelleren Ansprüchen. Die Geschwindigkeit ist insgesamt sehr flott. Die Machart gefällt und ein kurzes Thunderbolt-Kabel ist sogar im Lieferumfang enthalten. Nur der Preis erscheint ein wenig zu hoch. Read More...

This SSD-based portable drive is fast and attractive for users wedded to Thunderbolt, even if its single SSD inside can’t take full advantage of the Thunderbolt pipe.

The SSD drive unit that Akito sent me, fits as seen in the picture in the palm of my hand. I installed two 1gb SSD drives in it, hooked it with the “included” thunderbolt cable to my Mac, setup was as painless as plugging in the cable. I tested data transfer speeds and saw transfers speed approach 10gb per second. I also tested video capture, and post editing processing directly on the drive. Performance was better than processing on my mac that has a standard hard drive. Read More...

From a reliability factor, the Neutrio / Crucial SSD combo has withstood everything we can throw at it. We have filled the units up, repeatedly; run constant I/O at them and they now serve as the primary store for on-location video shoots - where we will fill up the 2TB drive in a three day period, unload and then start over again. All this time the combination has proven to be rock solid reliable and we have seen no loss in performance. Read More...

Die AKiTiO Thunderbolt Edition ist die ideale Lösung für Leute die einen Mac mit SSD haben wollen, aber diese nicht intern verbauen können. Als Erweiterung für Mac Minis ist sie absolut top. Aber auch als externe Platte zum super schnellen Datentransfer ist die Platte sehr gut geeignet. Read More...

Die Neutrino als Systemplatte hat für mich auch den Vorteil, dass ich mein Setup einfach mal schnell zu einem anderen Rechner mitnehmen kann und nicht auf den Komfort der Geschwindigkeit verzichten muss. So beheimatet die Neutrino das Hauptsystem meines iMacs, welches ich aber zwischendurch auch mal am Macbook Air oder Firmen-iMac einfach booten kann. Read More...

For those of us who wish to purchase the exact hard drive of our choice without sacrificing quality and performance, AKiTiO has created the Neutrino U3 external enclosure. Using aluminum instead of plastic is a welcome feature, especially when a lot of new computers are shipping in aluminum or poly-carbonate uni-bodies these days. This level of quality not only looks nice, but it also helps with long term durability. What’s special about this case is the full list of connectivity options it supports, along with all the necessary cables. Read More...
