Next Gen, Next Year: http://www.imore.com/intel-announces-new-version-thunderbolt?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter So.... not in this year's Mac Pro?

Finally: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/12/31/fiber-optic-thunderbolt-cables-begin-mass-production-available-up-to-30m-in-length/ And i finally have a thunderbolt product of my own, the g-drive 8tb G-raid. Review soon

Anyone tried this? http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-GoFlex-Thunderbolt-Adapter-STAE121/dp/B006P1QWOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345142953&sr=8-1&keywords=seagate+thunderbolt

Now shipping: http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?id=10574 Lets you connect your esata drives via TB.

Yeah, so that's a non starter for me for the uses I have for it. I guess if you are using it for RAIDs it's no big deal. The separate power supply is why I took back the Little Big Disk. That and the fact that you can't bootcamp from it.

Intel needs to make Thunderbolt more prevalent and cheaper, not faster but..... http://www.macgasm.net/2012/03/09/thunderbolt-will-get-even-faster-with-pci-express-3-0/...

$100 off the TB display today only: http://9to5mac.com/2012/02/01/thunderbolt-display-900-free-shipping/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+9To5Mac-MacAllDay+%289+to+5+Mac+-+Apple+Intelligence%29

Goddamn this stupid forum, I didn't copy and paste this one before posting.

I hope you are reading it wrong and not me, looks like my portable drives will only require a $99 adapter.

Nevermind, here's what I'm getting: http://www.theverge.com/2012/1/9/2695668/seagate-thunderbolt-adapters-goflex/in/2464703 My biggest drives already support this. Done!

The ONLY way I will pay a price premium for an SSD thunderbolt drive is if Apple relents and lets you put Bootcamp on external drives which is currently not permitted by OSX. This is a terrible and dumb decision on Apple's part, and I hope they fix this soon.

No USB 3 =( http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/belkin-details-thunderbolt-express-dock/ Bigger RAID from LaCie: http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/08/lacie-announces-2big-esata-thunderbolt-storage-options/

The flood starts with a single raindrop: http://www.theverge.com/2012/1/8/2692078/acer-announces-aspire-a5-worlds-thinnest-ultrabook

Lower pricing yes, but we need more consumer devices too. And Bootcamp needs to support external drives.

Too late or just in time? Thunderbolt PCs in April 2012: http://www.macrumors.com/2011/12/26/thunderbolt-coming-to-pcs-in-april-2012/

People with more money than sense. Another review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5066/lacie-little-big-disk-240gb-ssd-review

Engadget reviews the SSD version ($900) and find that it's expensive and fast, duh. http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/08/lacie-little-big-disk-thunderbolt-ssd-review/ No mention of it being unsuitable as a bootcamp drive.

So I drove an hour north, bought the goddamn $50 cable, drove home, burned my windows ISO and started bootcamp. Huh, the drive doesn't show as a valid target for bootcamp. Let's research this a bit:

We were talking about raids then, not consumer drives...

Guess what im doing tomorrow? :(

Gotcha. The optical cables seem to be aimed at the mass storage uses more than the display. I would think that less than 1 percent of one percent of people would have this concern...

Spend the $1600 instead of $999 for the ACD and $200 for what that optical cable is going to cost you and put a 27" iMac up there.

You need a 25' run for a desktop display? What am I missing here? Are you operating on a nuclear submarine with your machine in a rack in the ballast room?

Current ports compatible with future optical cables! http://www.pcworld.com/article/240618/apple_mac_thunderbolt_ports_will_support_optical_cables.html#tk.rss_news

Yeah, and the OEM drives inside them can die just like they do in a cheap ass case.

My god, it's full of fail! Grrr stupid htf can't paste on iPhone - go to arstechnica.com

Or maybe Apple IS clueless here.... (and greedy) http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/06/28/apple_releases_49_thunderbolt_cable_offers_external_raid_systems.html http://www.macrumors.com/2011/06/24/airplay-and-thunderbolt-may-be-limited-to-high-end-devices-to-start/
