I have just spent the past month looking for that exact product -- including several stops at NAB. My goal is to migrate my SSD RAID off of my motherboard's RAID controller -- and onto a more portable USB3 form factor.
More often than not, the problem seems to be directly related to the bandwidth limitations of the RAID chipsets (frequently Marvel or Oxford) that manufacturers are using.
Historically, the mechanical drives used in that class of product could not exceed 250-270MB/s in RAID0 -- so they simply didn't care about the controller having a 'brick wall' in the same vicinity.
As Thunderbolt-based RAIDs have become commonplace, manufacturers are using faster chipsets. And I believe sometime around Q4 we might start seeing combination Thunderbolt/USB3 devices that might be worth looking at.
Of course, for PC owners, we also need someone besides ASUS to release a PCIe-based aftermarket Thunderbolt card -- that can work with a variety of motherboards.
In the meantime, I have cobbled together a very usable stop-gap solution while I wait for those products to come to market.
Let me know if you find something I missed.
