Sonnet were exhibiting the Express III Three-Slot Thunderbolt-to-PCIe Expansion Chassis, which will ship on September the 23rd. It's a Thunderbolt 2 adaptor to connect a Thunderbolt Mac, Windows machine or peripheral to a Fibre Channel SAN. Promise also announced the again unreleased SANLink2. We can see the combination of a new Mac Pro, a new Thunderbolt 2 Promise Pegasus RAID and the new AJA Thunderbolt 2 IO 4k being a killer 4K edit kit for the new version of Final Cut Pro X when it is released. Availability will be before the end of the year. The new model wasn't even plugged in and they wouldn't give out any stats on performance or an indication of price. Same daisy chain connectors only on the back, but this time they are Thunderbolt 2.

The new unit looks exactly like the previous model, except that little blue two on the logo. Now Thunderbolt 2 is almost upon us with the release of the new Mac Pro, Promise have announced the new Pegasus2 R6 with Thunderbolt 2. When Apple launched new Macs with Thunderbolt, The Promise Pegasus R6 and R4 were one of the first storage units to feature the new interface. We did the tour of the storage and peripheral booths on the basis that most of us won't be buying a Petabyte SAN! So what was the big news about storage at IBC 2013? Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2.
