Today LaCie announced the availability of the eSATA Hub
Thunderbolt Series, its latest peripheral featuring
Thunderbolt technology.
This product delivers a solution for connecting eSATA
hard drives to Thunderbolt-compatible Macs, making them
backwards compatible. The eSATA Hub also boosts transfer
speeds and even allows users to daisy chain with other
Thunderbolt peripherals.
The eSATA Hub's dual Thunderbolt ports allow users to
daisy chain other Thunderbolt peripherals. This means
users can connect up to 12 eSATA drives (6 Hubs x 2 eSATA
drives per Hub) to a Mac while maintaining full eSATA
3Gb/s speeds. It also helps organize desktops by
connecting both a Thunderbolt compatible display and
storage device via a single cable (sold separately from
www.apple.com) to their Mac.
The eSATA Hub Thunderbolt Series is available through the
LaCie Online Store and LaCie Storage Partners starting at
the suggested retail price of $199.00.
