10gig Ethernet through thunderbolt HBAs. I think with FCoE (fibre channel over ethernet) catching on as well, this will be a replacement for both gigabit ethernet NAS sharing and fibre channel based SAN systems.
Hopefully when the chipset costs drop we'll see 10gigE adopted right into iMacs and the like.
