thunderbolt HDDs with other interfaces

[The-Pro]

Why is that that there does not seem to be an external RAID enclosure that has Thunderbolt AND other interfaces like Firewire, USB, eSATA.
All the RAID enclosure I find, Pegasus, WD etc only have 2 thunderbolt ports.

Whats the restriction here, there must be a logical explanation to why they dont put several interfaces.

cheers everybody

and so does the drobo 5D. Thanks for posting that

Do you know if I could have the device attached to one computer with TB and to another with USB at the same time and read / write from both (not necessarily at the same time)

Oh I googled a lot. But I was looking for resellers in germany. And none of them here have the DAToptic systems.
It is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Like my last post asked, can it can be connected to 2 computers at the same time each with a separate interface?

In my research none of these types of enclosures can be connected to two computers. You can however share the drive on the network, GIG-E is plenty fast for most applications.

Thats a real pitty. I would need to write to it from both computers. Guess i would have to figure something else out
