    Thunderbolt I/O technology gives you two channels on the same connector with 10 Gbps of throughput in both directions.

    Lol @ Marketing :D

    Newly patented technology: Press key to perform action = magic...
    Now I fear that my umbrella might infringe on this technology...


    Wikipedia says:
    So, could it be 20 Gbit/s per direction in thunderbolt mode?

    No, as it says:
    2 channels (one input, one output) @ 10GBit/s each = 20 Gbit/s

    Oh, right. I misunderstood what wikipedia said... I thought it said 10 GBit/s per lane, but as you highlighted, it's 10 GBit/s per channel.
