Understanding bottlenecks: best practices for max performance
I’m setting up SD! on my daughter’s MacBook Air (USB 3 + thunderbolt ports). She runs Win7 in Parallels, so we know that there will routinely be a 20 GB file to clone.
Which, if any, of the following drives will provide the optimal setup (i.e., fastest)? 1) OWC Mercury Elite Pro mini: USB 3 + SSD; 2) OWC Mercury Elite Pro mini: USB 3 + 7,200 RPM HD; 3) LaCie Rugged: Thunderbolt + 5,400 RPM HD. My hunch is that the SSD won’t gain much; USB 3 and Thunderbolt will provide similar performance; so it’s down to which manufacturer makes the most reliable drive. Which, if any, do you think would be the best long term choice? Thanks! |
