Re: OT: TBolt eSATA adaptor is pretty darn slick at first glance.

[Chris Kenny] "[Chris Harlan] "Popped it out of the box. Plugged it in. Plugged a Glyph 4 TB (2 platter, RAID 0). Zoom. Blackmagic saith: 185 MBs Write, 225 MBs Read. I'll say more if there is more. When I have another break, I'll try to G-RAIDs."

It unfortunately does't seem to support port multipliers, so it doesn't enable cheap multi-drive eSATA enclosures. (At least that's what I've seen reported; I haven't been able to find a definitive answer.)

The Sonnet Echo can be used with several models of ExpressCard eSATA adaptor that support port multiplication, so that might be a better option for some.

Well, La-de-da. "Some" might also want to have Thunderbolt pass-through so that they can be using video i/o (other other items that require the end of the chain), which the Sonnet Echo does not have.
