So I am looking at the new MacBook Pro retina and non retina. I use my MacBook Pro mostly at work attached to an external, which would use up a thunderbolt connection. So if I get the non Retina MBP I have no thunderbolt really, and if I get the Retina, well I lose out on other things, but have 1 free thunderbolt port. I thought I remembered seeing a thunderbolt adapter that had multiple connections on it, firewire, usb. I cant seem to find anything like that though. Does anyone know of a product like this? Would prefer to have a thunderbolt connection FW800 and a USB, not sure if that would ever really work through one thunderbolt port though

That is close to what I want, though I need something with FW800. I like that unit as it has a DVI connector so it frees up the other thunderbolt connection, but still need that FW.

Was just looking at that one. That seems to have it all, just not released yet.

I guess an opposite question is can I get an adapter that goes from firewire 800 to thunderbolt? Would need it for a 24 inch iMac which obviously does not have thunderbolt and would need to potentially connect to a thunderbolt raid.

Nope.
Thunderbolt requires a connection on the logic board.

I wonder then if I would be able to daisy chain through a docking station. So have the 24 inch iMac run FW 800 into the docking station, that goes through my and eventually to the raid.

Again, no. Thunderbolt doesn't work like that. Neither does FireWire.
