ZFS allows for better data integrity and several enterprise features. The QNAP TVS- h1288x NAS is a recent addition to the company's QuTS hero line of ZFS-based devices.
The integrated Intel® AES-NI encryption engine boosts encryption performance while also maintaining the security of NAS data. As a bonus, the dock also includes Gigabit Ethernet and a 5Gbps USB-A port.Powered by an Intel® Xeon® W-1250 6 cores/12 threads 3.3 GHz processor (Burst up to 4.7 GHz), the TVS- h1288X has enormous processing power to drive virtual machine performance. Featuring both DisplayPort and HDMI, Elgato’s Mini Dock allows you to connect up to two 4K displays at 60Hz via a bus-powered adapter.
THUNDERBOLT NAS FOR MAC MAC
Sometimes you just need the ability to connect your Mac to an external display, and the Elgato Thunderbolt 3 Mini Dock ( review) is one of the easiest ways to do so. It’s a solid offering, but I wish there were more options on the market. Until Apple makes a comeback with new displays, this is the best standalone 5K display with Thunderbolt 3 compatibility. LG’s UltraFine Display was supposed to be the direct replacement for the discontinued Apple Thunderbolt display, but its build quality (it’s all plastic, just like the aforementioned LG UltraWide 5K2K) leaves a lot to be desired. I’m not a huge fan of its super-glossy screen, and its lack of any display input besides Thunderbolt 3, but when it comes to 5K displays of this ilk, options are severely limited. The unit is also one of the only eGPUs to utilize Intel’s Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 controller, which allows it to interface directly with Thunderbolt 3 displays like the LG UltraFine 5K Display, via a second on-board Thunderbolt 3 port. However, the Blackmagic eGPU has a few things going for it like its beautiful and super-quiet enclosure that’s barely audible, even when under load. At $699, the RX580-equipped unit is easily a few hundred dollars overpriced when just taking its non-upgradable performance into consideration.
Yet, there’s no denying that it’s a product that may prove to be useful for a special subset of users. Right off the bat I want to say that the Blackmagic eGPU ( review) isn’t a very good value. It’s easily among the best Thunderbolt 3 accessories, and in my opinion, it’s the best eGPU chassis available. The Razer Core X is as little bit bigger and heavier than the Sonnet chassis, but it also works with three-slot-wide graphics cards, and to my knowledge, it’s the only external graphics enclosure capable of doing so thus far. We’ll be back with additional coverage of the Promise Pegasus3 in upcoming coverage.
THUNDERBOLT NAS FOR MAC PRO
Interestingly, the Promise Pegasus3 R6 is the only Thunderbolt 3 accessory on this list that we haven’t done a dedicated video about, but we did consider it in our overview of the best iMac Pro accessories around this time last year. Being able to access all of that storage via a single Thunderbolt 3 cable, which can also charge your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, is a luxury in and of itself.
However, there’s no denying that having direct access storage is a desirable solution if you work in an environment that doesn’t necessarily require networked storage. I’m a big fan of using Synology’s NAS hardware for storing my Final Cut Pro X projects, especially with the advent of built-in 10-Gigabit Ethernet on the iMac Pro and Mac mini. If you shoot RAW video, or even high quality ProRes video, the Pegasus3-series may be an ideal solution.īecause it can accommodate both HDDs and SSDs, users have the flexibility to go for the most amount of storage with traditional spinning media (up to 80TB with the 8-bay model), or the fastest RAID setup with solid state drives. That makes the Pegasus3 perfect for storing high-resolution, high-bitrate video. The Promise Pegasus3 lineup of raid enclosures has great options for those who need lots of fast on-demand data storage. With its growing adoption in mind, watch our hands-on video as we consider some of the best Thunderbolt 3 accessories for the Mac. Time has been friendly to the technology, with the majority of Macs in Apple’s lineup now equipped with the super-fast I/O. Thunderbolt 3 is in a much better state today than it was when it debuted on the 2016 MacBook Pro.
