Hi Tory
N2disk works on OSX but for 10g you need to use Linux. We know people who have 
tried thunderbolt and the outcome is that the performance is suboptimal (I have 
seen a report during the sharkfest conference) so I think OSX is not yet a 
viable alternative to Linux both in performance and price
