[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1476306, member: 145676"] I've been looking for the same thing. I was hoping hat the Thunderbolt Display would finally get the USB 3.0 upgrade once the new iMacs came out. Still no upgrade. I think part of he problem is thunderbolt is still early - and even if the hub was cheap you are still looking at a $50 cable. $400 for a tb hub seems steep to me just to get USB 3.0. Unfortunately the new MBA doesn't have a FW interface. Now also - I did some benchmarks on usb 3.0 drives - and some of them do no better than USB 2.0. [/QUOTE]
