I can explain that. One of the Mac's is booted into Targetmode, but the firmware that provides this has a capacity of only 93.6MB /s write and 121.0MB/s read. That's why it's slow. To utilize the full speed of Thunderbolt, you need a dedicated device, such as a Promise Pegasus or Lacie Thunderbolt Drive. This just doesn't work, sorry.
@Boeing747type8 When did I say there was something wrong about copying 3 GB of music? I apologize if I managed to offend you by my ignorance of which type of file it is.
This is a thunderbolt TRANSFER transfering from one mac to another, not to a external drive :l
