Sonnet Adds ExpressCard Support to Thunderbolt—Equipped Macs

August 25, 2011 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Today, peripheral vendor Sonnet announced the Echo ExpressCard/34 Thunderbolt Adapter, which will enable Thunderbolt-equipped Apple Macintosh computers to use a variety of ExpressCard peripherals. The Echo is a compact adapter about the size of an iPhone, but the price may leave some potential customers in shock when it arrives in October of 2011. You might also want to … [Read more...] about Sonnet Adds ExpressCard Support to Thunderbolt—Equipped Macs

Will The First Thunderbolt Peripheral Be The iMac?

April 20, 2011 By Stephen 3 Comments

Apple and Intel introduced the impressive new Thunderbolt interconnect last month on the MacBook Pro line, but folks like me who bought one have nothing to connect to yet. It was exciting to see the wide variety of Thunderbolt peripherals on display at the NAB show in Las Vegas last week, but none of these will ship to end-users before the middle of the summer.

USB 3.0 For Mac Is Here!

February 23, 2011 By Stephen 3 Comments

I am so relieved finally to be able to talk about my experience using USB 3.0 on a Mac. It's a wonderful, seamless experience that is so well-integrated you might not notice it except for the performance. At over 200 MB/s, though, it blows FireWire out of the water and is even faster than nearly any device you're likely to throw at it. CalDigit USB 3.0 PCI Express Card … [Read more...] about USB 3.0 For Mac Is Here!

LaCie Releases USB 3.0 Driver For Mac OS X (But It Only Works With LaCie Drives)

November 5, 2010 By Stephen 18 Comments

Steve Jobs isn't too keen on USB 3.0, apparently, but other vendors are stepping in to fill the void. CalDigit was first with a USB 3.o driver, but it was tied to the pricey PCI Express and ExpressCards they sell. Now LaCie is out with a free driver for just about any USB 3.0 card, but it's locked to LaCie's storage products. Let's hope we get an unlocked driver soon! Now You … [Read more...] about LaCie Releases USB 3.0 Driver For Mac OS X (But It Only Works With LaCie Drives)
