Thunderbolt is a dead non-starter. USB3 is on course to win the fight.
If you've known about it for a week, it would have been helpful if you'd told us about it at any point.
Chill out peasants. It's only 50 bucks. If it offends you that much go buy something else.
Judging by this... How much will the 10 metre one cost?
Not really:Cool.

Yeah, correct.AFAIK the ends of the cable enable the high speed and low latencies by adapting to the electrical characteristics of the copper. That's all. Just like the newly announced optical cables, all the ends do is manage their medium.

Thunderbolt won't be ubiquitous like USB 3.0. However, it can still be useful. I don't know why Intel doesn't insist on it as part of the Ultrabook spec (instead they focus on silly things like Wi-Di and touchscreens). It would be the perfect port for a universal docking station, since it has greater capabilities than USB 3.0. Apple has the right idea with the Thunderbolt monitor. With the cable down to a more reasonable $29 and a smaller size, maybe we'll see some companies take it more seriously. The $300 docks are a start, but we really need to get these down below $200 before anyone will notice. Decent USB 3.0 docks are about $150.

Cool. I'll buy one of these to connect to my.... nothing.
Haha!
what are these lower class people doing on an apple forum.

+ 199 US$, if you need/want eSATA.Excellent, now the Belkin Thunderbolt box is only $299 + $29
Reatime applications over USB 3.0? Target disk mode over USB 3.0? ≈ 500 MByte/s read speed over USB 3.0? Nope!USB 3.0 put the pressure on TB. Good! When there are choices, the consumer wins!

Which fight?Thunderbolt is a dead non-starter. USB3 is on course to win the fight.
So basically one is still $10 overpriced and the other is $20 overpriced?
