[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1355742, member: 24098"] I would be shocked if a single Ethernet connection of any sort could outperform a FW800 device. Your MyBookLive is essentially a NAS, so there's a lot of overhead both with the physical and network protocols. It's really designed to be a shared drive sitting on a network, not as a direct peripheral. Thunderbolt can pretty much be anything you want it to be. It's pretty much a universal interconnect and a direct bridge to the PCI Express bus. Right now, selection of peripherals is kind of limited, but the sky's the limit when and if it gains mass adoption. [/QUOTE]
