Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Thunderbolt SATA dock?

 

Thunderbolt and usb3 are big dissapointments.  Tbolt because there are no hub interfaces.  Usb3 because they don't daisychain.  Good thing about MacEnSteins is they are easier to modify the hardware To run sata 6g, etc and usb3 both.

My problem is that I need to go the other way ( that's what she said!)

I want to connect my Mac pro which has a sata card to thunderbolt, so I can migrate footage to a portable drive I can travel with. A card would be fine, but EVERY booth I asked at said Apple won't allow it. Atto, LaCie, etc etc.

I recently bought the macpro and assuming another one comes out with thunderbolt, I don't really want to buy it again. Currently I use the sonnet box to a 3/4 card. ( which is held with rubber ands since it doesn't click in) to talk to ESATA graid which I transfer the material to.

Thunderbolt has really been kind of a letdown, with not that many storage options available. Promise, LaCie, and the sea gate with the $99 connector option. I'd be happy with a 2tb mini-raid(2-2.5" drives) that had a ESATA AND thunderbolt, but no one wants to go there either.

Plus my raid uses a high point card so nothing will see it but a high point card ( hardware raid obviously)
