Blackmagic MultiDock

A roundup of upcoming Thunderbolt devices included this Blackmagic MultiDock:

I’m still keeping my eyes open for a thunderbolt drive dock, as I posted back in March.

It has lots of features that are nice, but I don’t actually need. It's rackmount, supports up to four drives, supports RAID. It's also >$500, significantly more than I’d expect for a single-drive thunderbolt dock. I also can’t tell if it takes bare drives as opposed to some kind of drive module; I want the former.

At the same time, having access to four bays would be nice, so I might consider this, particularly if no simpler thunderbolt drive dock appears in the next year or so.

PS: If your company name is two words put together and your product name is two words put together, use the same capitalization approach for both. I kept having to revise the words to “Blackmagic MultiDock”, instead of “BlackMagic Multidock” or a “BlackMagic MultiDock” or “Blackmagic Multidock”.
