Beyond latency concerns, this doesn't solve the Thunderbolt bandwidth problem (being 1/4 of max PCIe slot bandwidth).
What I think Apple needs to do is:
- Add "bonded multiple cable connections" to the Thunderbolt spec to allow 2-4 Thunderbolt cables between a Mac and a PCIe card slot chassis.
- Then ship such a chassis for $1999 :)

@dschaub@mstdn.social @Eric_Neue@indieweb.social @ianRobinson@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social They should do this then put it all in a single enclosure that can also hold half a dozen drives. Just need to come up with a name for it...
