Thunderbolt Splitter

[Evan Wright]

I'm somewhat new to the DIT job, but have collected a nice bundle of equipment

4TB G-Raid
2TB G-Raid...and so on and so fourth.

But they need to make a thunderbolt Splitter, I have the Lacie Esata/thunderbolt converter which gives you 2 thunderbolt ports, but you already have to use one to connect to the computer, Unless you customized your computer to have more then 1 Thunderbolt port, which would either have to be the new Retinas, or put more in your self.

Anyone know of any other Thunderbolt Splitters?

Most decent thunderbolt peripherals have two ports so they can be daisy-chained.

Thunderbolt will never have "splitters," the nature of the technology requires each port to have its own little chipset. So there are no standalone Thunderbolt splitters, they work in a daisy chain only

Not that it helps, but Thunderbolt can also have hubs the way USB does. However, no one is making them yet and I think Intel is pushing to keep everything within a daisy chain paradigm. All just fine except for the odd crappy TB device that only has one port. They let that slip in the earlier days, but I think all TB devices submitted for approval this year and on must have two ports so they can be chained.
