Hands-On Video of LaCie Little Big Disk SSD With Thunderbolt

[macman312]

So they DO exist! I'm wondering what the cost will be for these boxes as I'd like to store my photo collection on them.

Also, Thunderbolt to USB 3.0, make the freaking adapter already!

EDIT: Anyone notice in the images on SlashGear that the copy of Avatar has a file name that is WAY too similar to what you'd find on torrent sites?? O_O

I too am looking for a new external HDD so hurry up LaCie and ship them and announce the pricing!!!! They told me when I bought my MBP in March that it can transfer a 10GB movie in some really quick time (can't remember exact time) I thought thats great but transfer to what.....?

Hopefully someone will make a thunderbolt thumb drive so that you can carry your files in your pocket and still have that speed.

I hope so, and am going on the assumption they are. I have this weird idea of being able to take a 2.5" SSD in an enclosure and velcro it to the back of an iMac, so I don't have to take the whole thing apart or send it to OWC to get Apple's SSD installed.

A more elegant solution for $30 may be:

You can place anything back there although this is a bit more expensive than velcro...

These set ups are going to be expensive for a while!!

They may be expensive throughout a short lifetime.

If penetration doesn't radically improve, and the price delta doesn't radically drop - TBolt will soon be dead.

It may limp along for people looking at multi-thousand dollar add-ons for specialized tasks, but USB will be the obvious choice "for the rest of us".

Don't invest in peripherals based on a proprietary signal-sourced non-standard.

That's neat, but probably not for me. My monitor (to be replaced by an iMac in the near future) sits up against the wall, where it can't be seen, and the backpack might get in the way. $0.50 of velcro will do the trick

Unless you have a USB 3.0 PCIe or ExpressCard card

I have the Lacie USB 3.0 ExpressCard/34 card, but it doesn't work on Lion

Thunderbolt +1
SSD +1

Using both together -2 (due to cost and size)

Why not Thunderbolt with 3TB HD, Lacie?
