Shirley,
I understand that Thunderbolt has technical advantages useful for
some high bandwidth applications. But given the substantial price
premium for Thunderbolt storage, will it actually allow you to do more
than cheaper alternatives? For my own real-time editing needs
(long-form nonfiction, DNxHD media) I never exceed the bandwidth of
SATA 1.0, USB 3.0, or even FW800. Sure, it would be nice to have
faster copying (I'm now backing up some data from a local bare drive,
via a USB 3.0 dock, over GigE to my NAS and it's showing 8 hrs. to go)
but that's a "walk away overnight" task, so it's not worth much money
to accelerate. Why is it important for your needs?
Cheers,
Wilson

Soon, I will need to add to my home system's storage capabilities,
and when I went to Amazon to look around, I found myself eyeing the
Thunderbolt compatible G-Raid 4TB. Anybody tried this series of drives
yet? Is it still to soon to jump on the Thunderbolt bandwagon?
