If we could get line speed transfers, being able to move data between two modern Macs at multiple Gbps would be great. In its current implementation, it's faster than a WiFi transfer but a bit slower than a good Gigabit Ethernet network transfer. The functionality is great, however I believe target disk mode would be a killer feature of Thunderbolt if it could operate at peak performance. On average I'd say I saw transfers around 40MB/s. Sometimes I'd see transfer rates drop all the way down to 9MB/s before jumping up to 30MB/s and then 60MB/s. Regardless of whether I put the 15-inch MacBook Pro or 27-inch iMac in target disk mode, I never saw more than 61MB/s from the target. As a result, peak performance is no where near what Thunderbolt is capable of. You even have to eject them all manually before turning off the target Mac.ĭon't get too excited though, since the target Mac isn't running full blown OS X it only implements basic storage drivers and optimizations. MacBook Pro accessing the iMac's sole HDD over Thunderbolt in Target Disk Mode The drives appear like normal removable disks on the host Mac:

In this mode the target Mac boots into a special EFI state that allows all of its drives (HDDs, SSDs, optical, anything connected to the computer) to be mounted by the host Mac. With only Thunderbolt connected, the FireWire logo disappears - you're now in Target Disk Mode over TB Hold down T and you'll get both Thunderbolt and FireWire logos at boot Connect any two 2011 iMacs, 2011 MacBook Pros or any combination of the two with a Thunderbolt cable, reboot one of them while holding down the T key and you'll boot into target disk mode. Another use of Thunderbolt is Target Disk Mode.
