Longer cable offers you more flexibility for your drive placement. Also, I don't think there'll be a large enough impact for you to go with the shorter one just for the performance. | |

| Feb 15, 2013 at 22:41 | comment | added | Geeks On Hugs | Cool thanks...yah that's interesting what you said about target disk mode. I didn't order my thunderbolt cable as I was going to just pick it up from the Apple store. I think I'll pick it up tonight and try to experiment booting through targeted disk mode...interesting idea. I heard shorter cable has a slight performance advantage? I'm thinking of a 0.5 meters though anyway for a clean setup. | |

I'm thinking Fiber. LOL. I think what I suggested with 4 SATA SSDs won't be much faster than these PCIe SSDs you got. | |

I actually feel a little bit sorry since I should be able to test this out by putting my MacBook Pro in target disk mode and try to boot... | |
