Maximizing 100GbE Performance on Mac with Dual ATTO ThunderLink NS 5102 |
By connecting two ATTO ThunderLink NS 5102 adapters — each on a separate Thunderbolt 5 port — and routing each adapter to its own 100GbE network path, the Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth limit is effectively doubled. Each adapter operates independently, aggregating performance with SMB-Overdrive across two Thunderbolt connections and two Ethernet links. |

Pinewood Studios |
Pinewood Studios provides world-class facilities for television and film production services from around the globe. Their creative industry knowledge enabled the creation of recent films such as Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Speed was a driving factor in Pinewood Digital upgrading their infrastructure from IP-based to a Fibre Channel SAN. Additionally their clients use Apple Macs, which require a Thunderbolt adapter to connect to external Fibre Channel storage. ATTO ThunderLink 2162 Thunderbolt 2 to 16Gb Fibre Channel adapters provide key Fibre Channel connectivity, by connecting to Fibre Channel switches and a Rohde and Schwarz SpycerBox with ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel HBAs. |

Resolving Non-Responsive ATTO Thunderbolt Adapters |
ATTO ThunderLink may become non-responsive but may still appear available within the macOS. This also may occur with an ATTO FastFrame NIC in a third-party Thunderbolt chassis. This only occurs when the ATTO product is connected to a Mac using Thunderbolt Route String 3 AND any additional Thunderbolt device is connected to the Mac on Route String 1. A reboot of the Mac or Thunderbolt device will clear the issue, but it is likely to occur again. | Download |

Using Thunderbolt and LTFS with LTO Tape to Enhance Media Workflows |
Thunderbolt provides a solution to these obstacles when combined with linear tape-open (LTO) tape. Prior to Thunderbolt, moving large volumes of data in the media sector involved portable disks— there was no easy way to move content from a mobile computer to tape, which is less expensive. Now, connecting a Thunderbolt-to-SAS adapter outfitted with an LTO SAS tape drive provides a simple and affordable means to store, archive and transport large amounts of content. | Download |
