The Rise of Thunderbolt
This morning Apple finally announced availability of its first Thunderbolt cable alongside Promise's Pegasus external RAID solution. We've previewed the Pegasus in the past but today we received a shipping model of the 6-bay 12TB.
That's nice but way too expensive. The price for the simple cable is atrocious. $50 for a mere two meters!
