Does that mean that i can put (lets say) a 2TB drive into it, and thunderbolt will work, or an i mixing this up with something else.
From the description at the Belkin site, it sounds like you can't put any drives into it. What it does is to provide a Gigabit Ethernet port, a Firewire 800 port, 3 USB 3.0 ports, and audio in/out. The USB 3.0 ports are rated for 2.5 Gbps maximum. There is also a second Thunderbolt port for daisy-chaining other devices, e.g., Mac to Belkin dock to third-party DisplayPort monitor.
So why do you conclude you cannot connect any drives to it? You should be able to connect a Thunderbolt drive to that second Thunderbolt port (and then you can daisy-chain more Thunderbolt devices, if that drive has two ports). There is nothing on the Belkin site that suggests that you can't use a Thunderbolt disk on that second Thunderbolt port.
"Connecting a drive to it" (what you're talking about) is not the same as "putting a drive into it" (what 'tabloid' asked about, and what my reply to 'tabloid' addressed).
It is obvious that you can connect drives to it, but it is also pretty evident from the Belkin site that you cannot put drives into it. That's not the sort of feature they would fail to mention if they had it.
OK, fair enough. I read "putting a drive into it" as connecting a drive to it, because it seemed obvious to me that you cannot put anything into the dock.
