This a the title of a new article at Larry Jordan's Blog.
He wanted to buy a Thunderbolt drive. From his article:
“Anyway, I decided that since one of my editing systems supports Thunderbolt, I would buy a Thunderbolt RAID. Except the only ones on the market seemed to be from Promise Technology.
Now I’m sure that Promise is a good company – Apple would not recommend them if they weren’t – but they are not a company I know well, so I decided to look for something else.
And, hmmm, there’s not a whole lot else on the market. So, I decided to do some research and had a number of off-the-record conversations with different hard drive vendors to figure out why – when we are almost a year after the launch – there are so few Thunderbolt units available.”

I agree. What I read on review pages was that the Promise Thunderbolts were arriving with drives not working. What are they Promising?!? I decided to stay with FW 800 and bought the G-Speed Q. So far it has worked very well for my needs as have all my G drives.
