Apple macbook air charger 13 inch mid 2011 windows#Ī quick visit to Windows 7's device manager confirms that the Thunderbolt controller branches off of the CPU's on-die PCIe controller: I already mentioned that functionally Thunderbolt in the MacBook Air is no different than in the MacBook Pro. The unidentified RAID device is a Promise Pegasus R6, which still lacks driver support under Windows. Apple macbook air charger 13 inch mid 2011 driver# With no discrete GPU in the MacBook Air there are more than enough PCIe lanes for Thunderbolt, but this controller still only uses (and needs) 4 of them.īoth DisplayPort and PCIe are carried over to the Thunderbolt port on the system.
Apple clarified that you can in fact mix video and PCIe traffic on a single channel or across multiple channels. This gives you 20Gbps of upstream bandwidth and 20Gbps of downstream bandwidth to use however you want. Promise Pegasus R6 12TB (10TB RAID-5) Performance I tested the Pegasus R6 with both MacBook Airs and its performance was similar to the MacBook Pro: Remember that driving a single 27-inch 25x14 display uses up around 7Gbps of upstream bandwidth alone, but there's still more than enough for storage and other needs.
