[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1356034, member: 51052"] You can actually just get a (non-existent at this moment) Thunderbolt > USB3 adapter. Thunderbolt is just a bus extension, so you can relatively easily manufacture any PCIe compatible device and attach it to it. I have a USB3.0 device on my W520, it's pretty much useless at this point as well btw ;) Hey, Thunderbolt to expresscard.. right here ;) [url]http://www.sonnettech.com/product/echoexpresscard34thunderbolt.html[/url] This, is why Thunderbolt is DIFFERENT than usb3.
