I am planning on using this on my Mac Mini Server which is currently running OSX 10.7 Server. I hav tried FreeNAS 7 and it works great but was wondering if Thunderbolt storage would work. I am currently using it with the 2x 500GB internal drives plus 2x 3TB Seagate external USB drives and it works great but was planning on purchasing a 6 Bay Thunderbolt Storage Array.

AFAIK Thunderbolt is a kind of external PCI Express bus extension. I don't know whether its controller also needs own driver, but I think the storage probably does. With some luck there can happen some supported disk controller.

Thanks, I will see if I can find out what controller is in the storage box and then maybe I can find out if it is supported.
