Thunderbolt finally here?

doubt it - but Lacie now has a 500gb striped SSD box that uses Thunderbolt - although this could be a mirage in the dessert as its not listed in their online store, or any other store for that matter.

Whats thunderbut? Its the new video/storage/plug-in-anything interface designed by Intel and Apple. It has a speed of 10GB/s and has 2 full speed bidirectional channels - this would mean like 40GB/s of combined bandwidth (thats how wifi is measured). It allows daisy chaining, so 1 port can go a long way.
