The ThunderBox 600 RAID storage uses a SuperSpeed USB (USB
3.0), providing an even greater enhancement in performance—up
to 40 times faster than USB 2.0, with a design data rate of up to
5Gbps as opposed to USB 2.0’s 480Mbps. Your ThunderBox 600
RAID storage is shipped with a USB 3.0 cable, to ensure maxi-
mum data transfer performance when connected to a SuperSpeed
USB (USB 3.0) port. If your computer only has a USB 2.0 connec-
tion, then ThunderBox 600 will auto-negotiate to USB 2.0 speeds.
This makes it easier for ThunderBox 600 as an external higher
speed storage solution. The following table describes the LED in-
dication status for USB port.
