The ThunderTek/PX2 2 is comprised of the ThunderTek/PX, FirmTeks popular Thunderbolt PCIe expansion chassis, and the SeriTek/6G2 2, FirmTeks premiere storage adapter. The SeriTek/6G2 2 was designed to meet the needs of customers who wish to add an internal SSD to their computer without any fuss. No cables, enclosures, or power supplies to worry about - just mount a 2.5 drive directly on the card and use the included screws to hold it firmly in place. Up to two HDD, SSD or SSHD drives can be attached to the card, one on each side. The card provides both power and fast 6G SATA connections. With each port featuring bandwidth over 500MB/s, the SeriTek/6G2 2 offers a great option for adding high-performance 6G SSD to any Thunderbolt-enabled Mac or Windows 8/8.1 computer.
Performance With Expandability
10Gbps per channel Thunderbolt technology combined with two internal SATA and two external eSATA ports offers extreme data performance and flexibility for media professionals. Two high performance 2.5 SSDs in RAID 0 can provide performance over 700MB/s sustained throughput. And when access to large data sets is required, multiple SeriTek/5PM enclosures can be used with the ThunderTek/PX2 2 to support up to 12 simultaneous drive connections - all with a single Thunderbolt port.
With the ThunderTek/PX2 2 offering high-speed transfer rates with many configuration options, were equipping professionals with the tools they need to get jobs done in record time, said Chi Kim Stanford, VP of Business Development at FirmTek.
