Calling all thunderbolt users,

I commend you for bringing forth the slightest bit of optimism to this forum. It was great to see until I came in and ruined it. It was life imitating art, imitating art life.

I’ll do better next time.

Just yesterday we had an iMac attached to our San via a Promise SanLink that suffered chronic kernel panics. After eliminating the San Link as a cause, it’s looking like the Thunderbolt cable was the culprit. Not too surprising considering it’s got a chip in the connector.

I’ve had more than a few non chipped cables go bad, too.

So you might have just answered my question. Is your system connected: iMac > Thunderbolt Raid > Ultra Studio Express? Are you daisy chaining the Ultra Studio Express through the Thunderbolt Raid? I guess what I am asking is: If your Raid and your BM Ultra Studio Express are both connected via thunderbolt how are you connecting them to the iMac. Unless I am mistaken iMac only has one thunderbolt port.

[Trey Leitko] “Unless I am mistaken iMac only has one thunderbolt port.”

Both current model 21.5″ and 27″ iMacs have two Thunderbolt ports.

Keep in mind that Thunderbolt can be daisy chained and while most video in devices are end of chain (AJA IO XT is one exception) Hard drives generally have pass through connectors.
