Thunderbolt HD help?

If you check the reviews, a guy that works for Buffalo clearly states that the bottleneck is the HD itself, that will operate at 100-120 MB/s at best. Assuming the best case scenario of 120 MB/s, the transfer speed is only 960 Mbps, about one tenth of Thunderbolt's rated 10,000 Mbps.
 
an hdd maxes at 120 to 160 mbs.


an ssd maxes at 400 to 500 mbs.

The one thunderbolt port is killing me, I would love to have an option that allowed daisy chaining. Still, it's good to see the price drop for these thunderbolt devices.
