Thunderbolt thunder and lightning technology is becoming more and more popular, and the equipment is becoming more and more abundant and powerful. ATTO (the manufacturer that produced the SSD test tool) recently released a thunderbolt 3 adapter 'ThunderLink 3128 SATA/SAS', which can be accessed at most at the same time. 3800 hard drives can also be connected to tape devices.
The adapter owns Two Thunderbolt 3/USB-C Interfaces , Bandwidth is 40Gbps, can be daisy-chained, maximum transfer rate under USB-C is 2750MB/s, and Two SF-8644 miniSAS interfaces , Up to eight SAS 12Gbps/SATA 6Gbps hard disks can be directly connected (the latter need to be switched). With the appropriate expansion cards and port multiplexing cards, up to 3500 mechanical hard disks and solid state disks can be connected to a single PC.
It even supports LTO-8 tape devices for backup storage, capacity up to 12TB (compression) - 30TB (uncompressed), and continuous read and write speeds of 900MB/s.
This tape is generally priced at about $165, which is actually much cheaper than high-end, large-capacity hard drives.
Of course, in order to stabilize access to many hard disks, it requires an external auxiliary power supply.
Currently, this powerful Thunderbolt 3 adapter has been certified by Apple macOS, Microsoft Windows and many media entertainment applications. The price of 895 US dollars, about 5670 yuan.
