Highly regarded technology site Ars Technica reported today that Asus is first to the party with a Thunderbolt 2-certified motherboard. The article's byline is "Other devices, including the new Mac Pro, will follow." Synchrotech finds this news of Thunderbolt 2 being immediately available exciting, as well as the article's announcement that USB 3.1 devices should be available in the next six months or so. Seeing both of these technologies add capabilities and increase their capacities for speed is exciting news for consumers.
Synchrotech offers several high-performance Thunderbolt devices, and intends to expand our product line up over the next few months. Thunderbolt 2's doubling of bandwidth and accommodation of single-cable 4K video represents a breakthrough for mobile users in that Thunderbolt is the only technology that allows for a single-cable connection to high end video card breakout boxes plugging into multiple 4K displays. Thunderbolt equipped notebooks are not constrained by their built in video, and Thunderbolt 2 expands upon that capability. Connecting powerful RAID and SSD to systems via Thunderbolt enables performance once only achievable by Fibre Channel and other exotic server related technologies. Current Synchrotech Thunderbolt offerings include the Delock 61971 Thunderbolt to SATA 6Gbps HDD/SSD Drive Adaptor + AC Adapter, the Sonnet Echo Thunderbolt to ExpressCard/34 Adapter Pro, and several other devices.

The Delock 61971 Thunderbolt to SATA 6Gbps HDD/SSD Drive Adaptor represents the second generation of high-performance Thunderbolt to SATA devices. Portable, but still featuring a full 22-pin SATA connector, the 61971 Thunderbolt to SATA 6Gbps Adapter connects to both 2.5in and 3.5in SATA devices. Deploy with screaming fast Solid State Drives (SSD), or spacious Hard Disk Drives (HDD), Delock’s 61971 Thunderbolt to SATA 6Gbps HDD/SSD Drive Adaptor versatility makes it a great addition to any Thunderbolt based work flow. While best performance is achieved with SATA 6 Gb/s devices, the Delock 61971 Thunderbolt Adapter is backward compatible with SATA 1.5 Gb/s and SATA 3 Gb/s devices as well.
The 61971's 12 Volt at 2.5 Ampere power supply is used to power the adapter itself as well as connected 5.25-inch optical drives, 3.5-inch HDDs, or 2.5-inch HDDs and SSDs. The 61971 features a single Thunderbolt port and is compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows systems with Thunderbolt support. The included Windows drivers allow use with SATA based Optical Drives under Windows.
Because of our excellent relationship with Delock, we were selected to be one of their first vendors for their exciting new product release. The 61971 has been approved by Intel and is listed on their official Thunderbolt® site.
We are now taking pre-orders for the versatile Thunderbolt SATA device. Our tentative shipment schedule is as follows: "we will be able to ship 10 pieces to you on August 6, 2013 so you can test the product first; and other 10 pieces to ship by the end of August. After that time, we will have enough stock for this item."

Sonnet Technologies announced on April 16, 2012 that the Echo™ ExpressCard® Thunderbolt™ Adapter, which enables the use of many Sonnet ExpressCard/34 cards with computers equipped with a Thunderbolt port—including the latest Apple® iMac®, Mac® mini, MacBook Air®, and MacBook® Pro models—can now function as an SxS™ memory card reader. Sonnet supported Sony® in its work to create a Thunderbolt technology-compatible Mac OS® X driver to enable this functionality. This updated driver also enables full functionality of Sonnet’s Qio™ E3 professional SxS media reader, when connected through the Echo adapter to a computer with a Thunderbolt port.
High-performance SxS memory cards are used in Sony’s popular XDCAM® EX™ line of professional HD camcorders and the ARRI® ALEXA line of digital cameras, and share the same form factor and connector as ExpressCard/34 adapter cards. These shared traits make ingesting footage from SxS media a quick, simple task in ExpressCard slot-equipped notebook computers. In any other situation, this process requires the use of a specialized media reader, such as Sonnet’s Qio™ pro media readers with multiple SxS slots for speedy file offloads. With the added capability to read SxS, SxS Pro™, and SxS-1™ cards, the Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter instantly becomes the least expensive high-speed SxS memory card reader available, enabling Thunderbolt technology-equipped Mac computers to read SxS cards at over 100 MB/s.
When used with the Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter, users can connect Sonnet’s Qio E3 professional SxS media reader, with its ExpressCard/34 interface card, to compatible computers with a Thunderbolt port. This setup supports concurrent data transfers from SxS memory cards in all three slots for even faster file ingest speeds.
“With the installation of Sony’s Thunderbolt technology-compatible driver for Mac OS X, Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter users gain the ability to ingest footage through a small, rugged adapter using the latest I/O technology to improve workflow speeds significantly,” said Robert Farnsworth, CEO of Sonnet Technologies. “This new driver benefits users of our Qio E3 professional media reader, enabling them to connect their readers to Thunderbolt technology-equipped computers through the Echo ExpressCard adapter and ingest footage from multiple SxS memory cards at the same time.”
Developed by Intel® and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple, Thunderbolt technology supports high-performance data services and high-resolution displays through a single compact port. The Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter supports PCI Express technology with 2.5 Gbps throughput in both directions. The Sonnet adapter connects directly to a computer or at the end of a Thunderbolt device chain with a Thunderbolt cable, which is available at the Apple Store®.
“Thunderbolt delivers unparalleled performance, flexibility and simplicity to personal computing.” said Jason Ziller, Intel’s director of Thunderbolt marketing. “The Sonnet Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter and Qio E3 help highlight what Thunderbolt technology makes possible.”
The Echo ExpressCard Thunderbolt Adapter—part number ECHO-E34—is compatible with all Apple computers running Mac OS X that are equipped with Thunderbolt ports. It is available now at a suggested retail price of $149.95 through Sonnet and Sonnet resellers.
A link to the driver is below. It says nothing about the Thunderbolt compatibility on the downloads page. As of this morning, the actual version of the driver that gets downloaded is 1.1.0.03142 (even though the text on Sony's site says "Latest Version for Mac : Ver:1.0.52020") http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/cat-recmedia/resource.downloads.bbsccms-assets-mkt-recmedia-downloads-upgrades.shtml
