THUNDERBOLT
Thunderbolt Technology is a
transformational high speed, dual core
I/O protocol which provides excellent
performance over current I/O
technologies which are available in the
market with 10Gbps bi-directional With this Thunderbolt
transfer speed. technology it is now
possible to enable the
It provides flexibility and simplicity by
thinnest and lightest laptops
supporting both data and video on a
single cable connection that can daisy- can connected over a single
chain up to six devices cable to high performance
storage, external media
drives, multiple HD
displays, HD media.
