When Thunderbolt adoption goes mainstream, this is your 10GB/s 128GB Thumb drive

Not 10 GB/s, but about 1 GB/s (10 Gb/s) thumb drive. Although still almost twice as fast as fastest SATA3 SSD.

Some currently available USB 3.0 thumb drives are also pretty fast - up to 150 MB/s writes and 230 MB/s reads. And you can expect them to get even faster as USB 3.0 hardware matures.

I can see this being unbelievably awesome for the creatives here. People who use FCP or have large PSD/AI Files, now have a portable drive that's just as good as an internal drive.
