Promise begins shipping its SANLink Thunderbolt to 4GB FC Adapter

Promise today announced availability of its Thunderbolt-to-Fiber Channel adapter. The long awaited adapter, previewed at NAB, allows recent model MacBooks, iMacs and Mac minis to access direct-attached enterprise storage and even Xsan. (So, OK. You need to be creative if you are using a separate metadata Ethernet network like 98% of us.)

The device runs for $799, and is sold by many Promise resellers, including Tekserve and the Apple Web Store.

Hey guys. I know a lot of people are interested in SANLink so I thought I
would share some info on the product.
Different firmware same LSI card.

Its a full fibre card in the SANLink. You get the same colors on the ports as
well to indicate speed. Works well, turns the mini into a powerful SAN
controller.

    Has anyone tried using the Mini as an MDC yet with the SANLink? If so, how did
    it work? What did you use for the second ethernet port?
