Is this for Macs only at this time or are there thunderbolt expansion cards out there for PCs? And if so how do they meassure up against an integrated solution ?

The two LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series SATA III SSD models are available through the LaCie Online Store and LaCie Storage Partners, costing $699 for the 512 GB version and $999 for the 1 TB version. The 240 GB model is only available through LaCie resellers like Amazon for around $699.

Who would buy the 240GB model for $700 when the 512GB is the same price?

Very few Windows computers support it, but a couple out there do and it's literally just plug and play.
And compared to integrated, I guess you could say it's "almost" the same when in windows, not so much when trying to find it in your BIOS. lol.

There are a few thunderbolt motherboards and several Windows laptops available already.

If they could just sell the enclosure I would rather use my own SSD, unless they are putting in a vertex 4.
