Re: Simple Thunderbolt to Ethernet solution (Yeah, right!)

You could get a Magma three slot box and a Small Tree 6 port NIC and have a couple slots left over for something else.

The benefit of the magma is that they use a high end PCIE 3 switch in the box which gives them an advantage over PCIE 2 daisy chaining (like you'd do with multiple 1 slot boxes).

I'm not sure what you mean by option 1. There are no thunderbolt ethernet hubs. That would be the ame as putting a 6 port card in there.
