ORICO Working On Thunderbolt HDD Enclosures
Even as the ecosystem of devices that use Thunderbolt interconnect grows at a snail's pace, there are companies such as ORICO from China that have ideas to take Thunderbolt-attached storage forward. It unveiled CGI sketches of products its working on, 3.5-inch SATA hard drive enclosures. Available in sizes of 1, 2, 4, and 5 drives; these enclosures connect installed hard drives to the system over Thunderbolt, some of the larger variants feature two connectors, to allow Thunderbolt daisy-chaining with other devices and displays. The enclosures make use of aluminum bodies, and draw power from external power bricks. The company didn't give out any more information.

Very good looking cases. Like the hinged hard drive access ports. Blue LED seems soft in brightness.
I dig the look dawg
In fact most decent PC cases come with HDD trays to screw your drives onto that HAVE these rubber grommets.
these cases have been around for years.
But just like putting a 2 port SATA controller in a PCI-E x1 slot, the slot might be faster than you need, but the next option down isn't, so you use the PCI-E x1 slot.
