    Where are all the decently priced Thunderbolt External HDD's then?

    Are Western Digital et al going to be releasing a Passport style Thunderbolt drive?

    I WANT ONE! :/

    But, yeah, I know you want an optical drive but you couldnt have bought at a worse time.
    Why is that? New model imminent?

    I'd rather have an optical drive tbh, considering it'll be my only machine.
    Yeah, the channel is dry of 15" machines which usually means a refresh is a matter of days/weeks away.
    That's excellent, because I've been waiting ages for it. Didn't want to pick up the current Mac, because of the rumoured fancy new model. I do hope it has an optical drive though.

    One was but it was disgustingly expensive. 240gb for £700. It was fast as fuck, though.

    The normal drives were pretty good. We tested the RAIDed ones. The thing I still cant really get my head round is that they get faster the more of them you have daisy chained together.

    That is a bit of a brain fart.

    Do they work OK with mini-display port to dvi (etc.) adaptors?
