All I want is a reasonably priced ThunderBolt hard drive that I can put my bootcamp partition on. I only use it for games so getting 1/3 of my internal drive back for "important stuff" on the go will be nice. All I ask is that it runs at the full bus speed, and from everything I've read it should.
Got a tip for us?

Final Cut Pro X and Third-Party Thunderbolt Peripherals Coming Next Week?

Unfortunately I doubt that would be of much help. BootCamp / Windows is unable to boot off of an external drive (at least not easily) currently using FireWire or USB. I doubt much will change with Thunderbolt. Unless Thunderbolt is recognized as an internal SATA port in the Mac's EFI and doesn't need anything special to boot off via either OS.
Thunderbolt devices and any Final Cut information would be very, very nice.
Hopefully someone with more smarts than I have can answer this:
Is it not possible to establish a Mac-to-Mac TB-to-TB connection?
Sure, we're all waiting for peripherals, but there could be some value in establishing links between TB-equipped Macs as well...

Awesome! I need to start on a large project for a client and was waiting to get started on the new version! Next week can't come soon enough!!!
No offense, but that's a terrible idea.
I'd love to see that as well... kinda like doing FireWire target disk mode, or creating a FireWire network. That would be very cool indeed! I guess a regular-ol MiniDisplay port cable would work. However the Mac needs to fully support that type of networking too.
Release this thing now so we can finally move on to Logic X as well
Agreed!
I'd love to hear some rumors about that...
OK, so a little puzzled then as to why we haven't seen a developer (or even Apple) seed the market with a small app that shows the abilities of TB for Mac-to-Mac links...
But since I don't have any TB-equipped Macs just yet (soon!), I can wait on the sidelines for a bit. I would like to be able to transfer files from my laptop to my server in a quick fashion, once I have TB in both spots I would hope I could do this...
Ah, really, only for forward compatiblity. I keep my MacPro's (and my Powermacs before them) for 5-6 years. Just because I have no need for the external devices at this EXACT moment doesn't mean I will not need them in 5 years time, and thunderbolt may be used for more than external drives.
So, in all honesty, Regardless of Apple releasing a new (minor updated) Pro soon, I'm going to replace my failing 2006 model, Thunderbolt or not, but I would MUCH rather have one WITH.
there are TB peripherals out already?
The article says "few have made it to market". What are the "few" out so far? I'm not aware of ANY for sale.

Put that credit card away. It'll be in the appStore.
Don't know why you were modded down. You are 100% correct!
I'm a noob to all forums... Don't even know what that means
I don't think people here understand the point of a moderation system. Typically it is used to moderate posts for accuracy or "trollness". But people here seem to just mod things down they don't like, even if the content is 100% correct. I think it's the MacRumors version of calling something "gay".
Pretty much pointless IMO, but I guess it gives people some imaginary semblance of control.
If Apple still supports it I can see why they would not put it in.
Its a no brainer.
Its all about File Based Media now, the only gripe that might come true is the log and capture via real time. I honestly havent used that option in 3 years.
All footages that hit my studio arrives in MXF, R3D and variations of CF cards from Canon/Sony etc..
Its a File Based World

Seeing as how this is a fibre connection and Apple has XSAN software for shared storage, I am not sure this will be a standard feature. FWIW, XSAN costs $1k/system. If Apple does do this, their XSAN offering becomes less appealing to smaller shops. But stranger things have happened. I could see a peer-to-peer situation for TB, but more robust file sharing to be handled by XSAN. Good question!

Sure hope so. I've just inherited the family VHS collection, and am looking to send those down the FW pipe via Canopus ADVC 100 into FCPX. I've tried USB solutions, and the audio gets out of sync more often than not. FireWire is the way.
Uhhhh...
Maybe you should test drive that never-been-used-professionally-before software before subjecting your client to Apple 1.0 quirks.
Just a thought.

Nothing on Apple's site but check out this link:

Amazon has an entry that points to Apple's site. Follow the link and there's nothing but a placeholder is a good start
