HD Tune Pro 4.6 Results

The Buffalo MiniStation Thunderbolt's performance (regardless of the interface used) during the Read test portion was similar to the Buffalo MiniStation Extreme.

The Thunderbolt interface of the Buffalo drive actually performed worse in the random average access timings and consequentially affected random average speed by about 10% than when using USB 3.0.
