In my tests the Thunderbay drives performed at a 5x difference from my original WD Thunderbolt Duo, which was a welcome change. I found that the majority of my work with 1080p was good enough on any of the Thunderbay 4 external drives. RAID SSD might make more sense for videographers who are working with large 4K projects, who would be working with huge video files. ![]() The difference between the RAID 5 SSD and RAID 0 SSD was also hard to tell – both felt fast. Scrubbing and importing felt just as fast with the 1080p videos I was using. When I compared the two Thunderbay 4 external drives it didn't feel like there was a major difference between RAID 5 SSD versus RAID 5 HDD. Everything from video thumbnail previews as I worked with video felt faster with the newer drives (including the Mac Pro's internal Flash storage). Opening projects on any of the Thunderbay drives was very fast (1-2 seconds) versus the WD Thunderbolt Duo (4-5 seconds). ![]() ![]() Part of my testing was a little subjective based on the perceived performance in Final Cut Pro.
