The above video shows off some of the real world potential of Thunderbolt. With the combination of a RED Rocket card and a Sonnet PCIe expansion chassis, even a little MacBook Air can chew through 4K RED footage at full resolution.
It was good to see some Thunderbolt products at CES 2012 finally starting to trickle into the market. See coverage for LaCie, G-Tech and Western Digital for other Thunderbolt devices.
