I knew about the adapter. Could I daisy-chain two hard drives to it? I've checked out Thunderbolt docking stations. The Belkin looks like good. Adds a FireWire and three USB 3.0 ports. But it's more expensive than one the RAID devices I've identified and three-fourths as much as the other. Not in a hurry to decide.
