I don't have a problem with USB3 at all.i just don't have any use for it.TB can handle everything from screens to cameras to raid to Pci boxes some of it even powered.in the end this means less cables and more flexibility.i know i won't buy another external HD again.for me it is SSD and raids only. The only use I can see in the moment for TB, are some of the new external video boxes, but they don't do anything, the BM cards don't do anyway, without having more external cluster, AC adapters and cables. So what do you put in that expensive box?

A PCI breakout box for what?Īpple doesn't even support external graphic cards. Why is that any benefit over having 3-4 cheap usual cables? Monitors don't run faster on TB. Yes, you can daisy-chain TB, so you need (for your example) 3-4 expensive TB cables.

If you copy to HDD the HDD speed is the bottle neck. The SSDs may be faster, than USB3, but that only helps when you copy from one SSD to an other SSD. The best thing about the BMCC is the thunderbolt port (afaik it is also the reason why shipping has been delayed a bit.).every piece of equipment should have one.bandwidth just isn't an issue anymore.and it will only get better. With TB you can connect.an external HD, 2 or 3 monitors and a PCIe breakout box.all on the same port.ok, all of it at once might slow one of these down a bit, but that is why you have 2 ports. an external HD.the latest SSDs now shipping are faster then USB3.

PCFRIENDLY DVD CHIP PC
Searching PC in the manual, it only references formating the SSD.
PCFRIENDLY DVD CHIP MAC OS X
The manual says "When connected to a Mac OS X computer with Thunderbolt technology, your Blackmagic Cinema Camera can be used as a powerful solution for video capture, waveform monitoring and color correction." Will these run on the PC under Win 7 and connect to the camera via thunderbolt and work the same as if I was on a MAC?
PCFRIENDLY DVD CHIP SOFTWARE
My original question was really about Media Express & UltraScope Software on the PC. MB also has 2 firewire ports which I may need from time to time. I'll have one NVidia card (for now) as well as my BM Intensity card in there. I went with the new IvyBridge i7 3770k processor with 2x8GB ram sticks (will have 2 empty slots). I will probably move my 8 x 2TB drive raid 5 Array onto this machine as well as my boot and other misc drives. When with the new motherboard from Gigabyte, GIGABYTE Z77X-UP5 TH.
