How come I can't find any Thunderbolt expansion devices? I want more than the 2 Thunderbolt ports on my Macbook Pro.

@philfreo That actually doesn't add any Thunderbolt ports. It only has one on the back!

@skjonas The docks I found don't even have additional Thunderbolt ports, just provide the single port for for daisy chaining.
@skjonas Yeah, that's certainly how it's intended, but so many Thunderbolt devices don't provide the additional port and can't be chained!
@skjonas From what I can tell, the only way to get more than 2 Thunderbolt "chains" is to get a Mac Pro which has 6 ports on the back.
@aaronpk thunderbolt daisy chains. Shouldn't need more ports unless you already have long chains, right?

@trentonl Thunderbolt daisy chains *in theory*, but in practice most devices don't actually have an additional... aaron.pk/r4Xy5
