Hi all ,
You might have seen my recent post on whats the point of thunderbolt for my new macbook pro and I came to the conclusion that what was clear for my new macbook pro( 2.8ghz intel i7 , 16gb RAM , 128gb ) it needed a BIG storage bump for my needs(Xcode,Photoshop,Unity)
I decided that for starters I'd like to make my own thunderbolt enclosure by choosing the samsung 840 pro 512gb SSD for a start.
My idea was to use that and a GoFlex thunderbolt portable adapter but I ran into some problems.
a) 512gb SSD is great for speed but I'd like a 1tb backup aswell.
b) Goflex thunderbolt adapter does not have the correct battery potential for something as serious as a samsung 840 pro to run
This left me thinking that I need a enclosure which plugs into the mains and also maybe a dual enclosure could be better.
Does anyone know for a start where I could find a good sub 300 thunderbolt enclosure (single or dual)
And any ideas if dual for a sort of fusion setup?
Many thanks

Update:
As per trying to find a duel bay .I reckon I could get these for sub 300-200
Startech dual drive

Or the other one which was recommended to me above.If anyone has these enclosures or knows anything about them could you please give me as much info as possible.
My other idea was I could go down the single route form a setup with:
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Backup...ds=thunderbolt
and my samsung SSD
and then add
http://www.amazon.com/G-Technology-G...ywords=7200rpm
which looks like the only other decent 7200rpm portable hard drive
