Continuing in a new post, since I ran into some length limit trying to fit it all in one... Now, something a little more interesting: the first bus-powered Thunderbolt storage device to see the light of day in 2012.
All-metal enclosure, no silly logo on the top. Much better.
Opening this thing up (I purchased it empty) requires removing four hex screws and reveals two easter eggs... this:
...and this: Eagle Ridge in all its glory.
And a week 17, 2012 manufacture date.
It originally shipped with a 3 Gbps SSD (SanDisk Ultra) so the ≈390 MB/s limit of the ASMedia ASM1061 didn't even matter.
