Features
Apple Recommends For
Robust, high-speed, external data storage for your Mac.
The Elgato Thunderbolt SSD is compact and portable with the performance of a large, multi-hard drive.
It's engineered to draw power directly through the Thunderbolt cable from your Mac, without needing a separate power supply. This way, your data is always there with you, even when you’re not near a power source.
Due to the lack of moving, mechanical parts, Solid State Drives are less prone to accidental damage than traditional hard drives. And with its rock-solid metal enclosure, the Elgato Thunderbolt SSD looks great and has added protection for your valuable data.
The Elgato Thunderbolt SSD is designed to work without the need for a noisy fan. The advanced metal enclosure and the inaudible Solid State Drive means that you’ll get outstanding performance that's whisper quiet.

why are the speeds quoted here for thunderbolt ssd device less than the speeds quoted for a similar usb2 device (eg Western Digital 1TB My Passport)?

Best Answer
I would suggest you are confusing your Mbit/s with your Mbyte/s. The speed quoted for the Elgato 120 GB Thunderbolt Solid State Drive is 270 Mbyte/s. the maximum theoretical speed for USB 2.0 is 60 Mbyte/s so the USB 2.0 version of Western Digital 1TB My Passport will not be faster than that. …More
