This thing will sell very very well. I assume towers will just use a pcie/pcix Fiber Channel card and this bridge will be of use to imacs and macbooks. To me this bridge is more interesting that the enclosures as currently avaliableReply
"Pegasus does support 6Gbps drives, although the highest transfer rates I ever saw on the machine maxed out at 850MB/s despite the use of a 6-drive RAID-0."
Unless thats a typo, 850MB/sec is equivalent to 6.8Gbps.Reply
It's not a typo. 6 x 6Gbps is far more than 6.8Gbps. I don't know how many drives was in the demo unit, but I'd say the author likely thought that n-SSDs would be able to saturate the 10Gbps Thunderbolt connection.Reply

Any word on the prices? I think that is the biggest unknown atm. Replydagamer34 - Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - link
Expensive. ReplyGuspaz - Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - link
Intel tells us that it'll be widespread, but with Sony using a different connector than Apple, will Thunderbolt fail because of fragmentation? ReplyStuka87 - Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - link
