[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1553254"] Because Thunderbolt can be adapted into nearly anything (including Firewire AND usb), I tend to think it does have a bright future -- but as a "professional" hookup rather than a "consumer" hookup (this is, not coincidentally, the same thing that happened to FW). USB 3 and future iterations will probably continue to satisfy consumers for the foreseeable future. Professionals need something FAR better, and that's exactly what TB gives them. As for the myth that TB peripherals being more expensive is going to kill it -- doesn't seem to have hurt SSDs does it? The cost per GB is ridiculously high compared to HDD, but consumers see the benefits (speed). Same thing with TB if you ask me. [/QUOTE]
