I benchmarked my OWC Dual Elite Pro Firewire 800 HDD today.
By testing throughput with Blackmagic's disk speed test, i could repeat the same results over and over again.
When connected directly on the MBP 2011's Firewire800, i get 74MB/s
When connected on the Thunderbolt display's Firewire800, i get 66MB/s throughput.
I really didn't expect any performance loss using Firewire 800 on the TBD but this shows a 11% degradation. Has anyone else noticed this and if so, have you found a solution?
