"However, under Mac OS 10.7.5, Mihalik could get no more than six enclosures working, regardless of whether that was a 1 x 6 or 2x 3 configuration. It should work, but it doesn’t. With 10.8.2, we could see drives in all twelve enclosures"
I'd like to replace my firewire 800 drive with a thunderbolt drive, but they're too darn expensive! |

A single drive on thunderbolt wont give you that much better performance... You need either SSD or a RAID box to actually see much better speeds on TB.

Plainfield, IN | USB3 rocks for single drives, I can hit 200MBps with a single drive easily. I have hit 250MBps with an SSD in a USB3 case. |

I got one of those WD Thunderbolt drives (6Tb) for my backups. Before that I had a USB 2.0. Night and day. But yeah, they're expensive. Hell, the cable alone was something like $49.99+tx. I think they went down $10 since I bought mine last summer.

200mbps on what kind of single drive? and are you reading some cached stats or a sustained sequential read/write?
