Our comments :
A small bunch of companies have announced external portable or desktop SSD (not RAID units, with only one drive) with Thunderbolt interface. The other ones include Freecom, OCZ and Elgato (see below).
This kind of products is an excellent idea as they combine the speed of flash memories with the Intel's interface, much faster than USB 3.0 and FireWire, for a global blazing solution that crucify the best external HDDs (apart from the price).
