Promise Pegasus R6 with Thunderbolt. Holy Wow.

While we wait on a full review from Anandtech, I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring.  If anyone is wondering how fast ThunderBolt is, I can definitvely answer.  ThunderBolt is really fast.  Absurdly fast.  I've migrated my home directory over to a 12 terabyte Promise Pegasus R6 and it's unbelievable.  Booting from a SSD and accessing your home folder from a 6 disk array over a dual channel 10 gigabit interconnect is quite quick.  Really amazing.

I left the R6 set as a RAID 5 volume.  I can only imagine what it would do as a RAID 0.  Here's a run from QuickBench:

 

It's a good looking piece of hardware as well, and nicely matches my iMac.

 

 

All that over a single cable.  Amazing.

Fat-finger alert - "migrated". And my spell-checker suggests "unbelievable".

Hope you don't mind.

I've migarted my home directory over to a 12 terabyte Promise Pegasus R6 and it's unbelieveable.

Can't wait for something more mundane, like a 1 or 2 terabyte drive supporting Thunderbolt!

"The Apprentice " is a 15-episode unscripted drama in which 16 candidates from all walks of life, including both Ivy League MBA graduates and street entrepreneurs with no college education, will endure rigorous tasks each week while living together in a hip Manhattan loft apartment. The tasks will test their intelligence, chutzpah and street-smarts. They will face the challenges of living in close quarters and must compete sometimes humorous but always difficult job assignments and will be forced to think outside the box in order to outshine each other to get to the top. Upon their arrival to New York City (some for the very first time), the 16 candidates will be rushed over to Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump, the centerpiece and driving force of this series. After splitting the group into two teams of 8, Trump then issues the first task. Teams will be given time constraints for each.Season after season, the players or characters in The Apprentice Seasons DVD Boxset appear to be people who you'd absolutely love to hate.
