Thunderbold is the type of connection that the computer or external device will have just like USB or Fire Wire. Thunderbolt is not like PCI, PCI is an actual device/card that would need to be installed into the computer, but thunder bolt is just the conection port on the Mac, or on a external hard drive.

Hi, everyone. Well, I'm finally now caught up with reading emails from the PT list since I joined! Thanks for posting the tutorial Kevin recorded for learning ProTools. I've been trying to find that podcast for the last 3 or 4 months! I'm excited I can finally check that out. I'm planning to purchase a Mac and ProTools system soon, but I was wondering what the difference is between using Thunderbolt and using PCI. I'm confused about what Thunderbolt is. Is it another audio interface or a separate hard drive? Is it similar to a fire wire hard drive? Thanks for your help.
