The Measure of an Enclosure—Updated to Include Thunderbolt 3!

TheMeasureofanEnclosureCan't stop reading about Thunderbolt 3? We just updated our white paper "The Measure of an Enclosure" to include Thunderbolt 3!

Our new white paper explores the technology to consider when buying your next external storage drive—as well as the throughput and transfer speeds of Thunderbolt 3.

We talk about the importance of the path the data takes from the enclosure to your computer and back again, the interface (USB, for example), data transfer rates, solid state drives and traditional rotational hard drives, and considerations on how your new external storage will ultimately be used.

The paper includes a glossary of some of the most common technical terms as well as a handy chart comparing the transfer speed ratings for each type of computer interface that external storage drives can plug into.
