In fact, there may be much more in this docking station that you would normally expect.

The Sunix Pili integrates a 3.5-inch HDD enclosure, it includes a slim Blu-ray writer, four USB 3.0 ports, a multi-card reader with support for SD, MMC, MS, an xD media, and stereo audio playback using the SPDIF digital audio interface. And yes, there are dual Thunderbolt ports with daisy-chaining capability as well.

Sunix said that the Pili will be available in Q4, but did not release pricing information.

It also has Gigabit Ethernet. Obviously direct BR play back will not be possible in OSX, but there are ways around that.

VLC is meant to play BluRays, although it is a bit buggy at the moment.

this is nice and all but I just want something I can hook my esata drives into. I dont want to fork over 300+ dollars to do that.

There is something in my signature that can do that.

ok, ok...I will revise my price. I dont see the need for paying over 60 bucks for a sata dock, or an esata converter. however, i noticed the sunix has a blueray so that wouldnt be bad at 199
