Is anyone doing anything interesting and consumer-friendly with Thunderbolt? All I've seen it used for is DisplayPort, a slimmer DVI connector.

- ics 13y agoApogee has at least one interface that's Thunderbolt ready and I'm sure a few other audio companies are working with it as well. Edit: Universal Audio. Others have plans/announcements. Other products: external drives, external GPU (demoed by Lucid). While trying to refresh my memory I came across this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Thunderbolt-compatible_devices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Thunderbolt-compatible...
- haberman 13y agoThe Apogee Symphony can be connected to Thunderbolt via the $1000 "ThunderBridge" (http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/symphony-64-thunderbridge.php http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/symphony-64-thunderbri...), but it feels more clunky than using USB which can connect directly to the Symphony without the intermediate hardware. The ThunderBridge gives extra benefits (the Symphony with USB alone can't go above 96kHz or 16 channels).
- thrownaway2424 13y agoYes there are a bunch of tremendously expensive external PCI card cages that cost $200 per slot and which are attached to your computer with $99 cables.
