FYI: LaCie’s now shipping that TBolt eSATA adaptor.
Just ordered it, and I’ll let you know if its slick or not when it arrives.

And there is a new 10,000 rpm Esata drive out…it has been a while (Ultra SCSI) since I’ve seen 10k drives. Excellent fast access drives.

Too bad I got the email today that they are out of stock already and won’t be shipped for possibly weeks. Sucks because I ordered it within only 10 minutes after getting the email that it was available for order. I told them to keep the order active and keep me towards to top of the list so I can report back here! 😉
Kinda disappointing considering how quickly I placed the order and got confirmation but I’ll be patient.
