Speed
Fast Single SSD Data Transfers.
Great RAID 0 Performance.
Single SSDs installed in the Echo Dual NVMe Thunderbolt Dock can each achieve sustained data transfers of up to 1500 MB/s. Configured as a RAID 0 set for even greater performance, data transfers up to 3000 MB/s are possible. Start with one SSD, and add any size SSD later without needing to format the first one.
Amazing Performance
Up to 1500 MB/s for Single SSDs
Up to 3000 MB/s for a RAID 0 Set
Internal SSD performance will vary based on the type and number of SSDs used, plus the host computer’s Thunderbolt interface and CPU speed.
