Intel Thunderbolt (Thunderbolt) Controller Driver Driver Instructions
The original intention of developing Thunderbolt ultra-high-speed interface technology is to replace and unify the large number of expansion interfaces with varying performance on current computers, such as SCSI, SATA, USB, FireWire and PCI Express. This technology is mainly used to connect PCs and other devices. It combines two mature technologies, PCI Express data transmission technology and DisplayPort display technology. Two channels can transmit data of the two protocols simultaneously, and each channel provides two-way 10Gbps bandwidth.
Thunderbolt is a product of the cooperation between Apple and Intel. It was developed by Intel and brought to the market through technical cooperation with Apple. Therefore, at the beginning of its release, Thunderbolt mostly appeared in Apple PC systems, and it was not until later that it gradually began to appear on ordinary PC motherboards, and more and more peripheral manufacturers announced that they support Thunderbolt technology.
Intel Thunderbolt (Thunderbolt) controller driver driver usage
At the same time that Apple released the new MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt interface, many brands announced that they would launch Thunderbolt-related products, including Aja, Apogee, Avid and Blackmagic. In terms of third-party support, Intel said that both Western Digital and LaCie will provide mobile hard drives compatible with Thunderbolt interfaces. Among them, LaCie has demonstrated a device using Thunderbolt, a dual SSD Raid storage device. Of course, due to storage limitations, Thunderbolt’s combat effectiveness is really difficult to reflect in home use.
Such speed is already too much luxury for home use, and the three-meter line length also greatly limits its scope of use. The current possible applications I can think of are:
* Multi-monitor support, since 6 devices can be connected to a single port, theoretically, you can organize a 7-screen work platform.
* Ultra-high-speed disk array, by setting up Raid with SSD and using Thunderbolt, you can get extremely exaggerated disk performance, which will be beneficial for professional work such as graphics processing and image rendering.
Of course, with the continuous popularization of this technology and the emergence of a large number of peripherals, Thunderbolt's ultra-high transmission speed and single-interface multi-device capability will slowly reflect its advantages. After the advent of optical fiber connections, it seemed possible to lay out a centralized processing environment with a single Mac machine as the computing core and a large number of related peripherals.
