Or if Thunderbolt only is OK, then Lacie make a two drive SSD/RAID box (use it as a JBOD not RAID). And you can get a low-end HDD one and install your own SSD in it (Samsung 840 Evo or Pro recommended)....

Or higher end, buy this quad drive expansion rack and install up to four Samsung 840 Evo or Pro drives in it...

And both the later have dual thunderbolt ports so you can daisy chain them between the MBP and the Thunderbolt display.

Hi Darryl

Thank you as always for helping and since we are set this might help someone else who is thinking about SSD's.

That was back in April and we have changed out ALL our drives on the Mac Pro with 840 Pro's and the retina have SSD 512 GB and 2 x 840 Pro' in an ext casing so dor us we are VERY happy and the two systems runs great

Chris
