Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Connect Tbolt only drive to a Westmere MacPro (mid 2012)

 

Nice, but doesn't work on a Mac. PC only

Introduction
This high speed serial interface enables fast data transfer from external peripherals such as external hard disks, digital ca
meras
and video
cameras. Nearly four times the transfer rate of USB3, it features one external Thunderbolt output port, one Display Port
input port and one internal header. Thunderbolt
2 technology is a transformational high
-
speed, dual protocol I/O that provides
unmatch
ed performance over current I/O technologies with 20Gbps bi
-
directional transfer speeds. It provides flexibility and
simplicity by supporting both data (PCIe) and video (DisplayPort) on a single cable connection that can daisy
-
chain up to six
devices.
The
HP Thunderbolt
2 PCIe Card is backward compatible to allow your Thunderbolt
devices to operate with no cable adapters
needed.
Thunderbolt technology dramatically increases the data transfer rate enabling faster backup, editing and file sharing, signif
ica
ntly
reducing the time to complete key tasks. Thunderbolt technology was specifically designed with inherently low latency and hig
hly
accurate time synchronization capabilities. These features enable extremely accurate audio and video creation, playback an
d
editing that no other standard interconnect technology can match.
Performance
The HP Thunderbolt
2 PCIe Card performs with data rates of up to 20 Gb/s.
NOTE
: Actual performance will be lower based on protocol overhead and the peripherals attached
.
Key Benefits
Data transfer between digital electronic devices that support the Thunderbolt
or Thunderbolt
2 standard.
20Gbps bi
-
directional, dual channel data transfer
Data & Video on single cable with Dual
-
protocol (PCI Express and DisplayPort)
Daisy chain up to six devices
Compatible with existing DisplayPort devices
Low latency with highly accurate time synchronization
Uses native PCIe and DisplayPort protocol software drivers
Power over cable for bus
-
powered devices (electrical cables only)
Compatibility
The HP Thunderbolt™ 2 PCIe Card is compatible with the HP Z230, Z440, Z420, Z640, Z620, Z840 and Z820 Workstations.
NOTE:
Not all models are available in all regions.
The HP Thunderbolt
2 PCIe Card requires a DisplayPort input to enable
downstream DisplayPort devices on the Thunderbolt
daisy chain.
The HP Thunderbolt™ 2 PCIe Card is offered as a Certified System Solution with the compatible workstation platforms and selec
t
graphics cards only. Additional cards may perform well, but have
not been fully tested to the full standards to confirm a Certified
System Solution.
Z820: nVidia
K600, K2000, K4000, and K5000*

Thunderbolt is built into the motherboard. That is why you can't get a PCI card for older computers. HP built support into the Z820 and forward so you can add their card.

We bought a MacMini as a cheap workaround.
