*Thunderbolt-equipped Gigabyte Z77X-UP5TH meets Velociraptor Duo Review*

Unveiled at the 2009 Intel Developer Forum, Thunderbolt wouldn't make its

debut into an actual product until two years later with Apple's MacBook Pro

2011 refresh, and then another one until it finally started to find its way

into PCs.

 

With most Thunderbolt-enabled products available today being

storage-related, we wanted to see what the new Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH

motherboard and its dual Thunderbolt ports had to offer in terms of

performance. The best way to accomplish that, in our opinion, is to test

the new ultra-fast Western Digital My Book Velociraptor Duo, which has a

pair of 10,000RPM Velociraptor hard drives.

 

Thank you.
