External Thunderbolt HDDs for Macbook Pro
Q1:
What are some of the external small-built HDDs that
support both Thunderbolt plus USB 3 ? I know Lacie is
one of them, then there's buffalo. Wanted to compare
pricings at Amazon
Q2:
With thunderbolt connection, can I say the IO bottleneck
will lie with the disk drive's speed then? With USB 3,
bottleneck is still at USB 3 port?

Both the Lacie and Buffalo portables have the option to come configured with SSD's,

I thought these were the units you had seen that have both USB3 and Thunderbolt.
If you went with just USB 3 you would have more options. There are a number of empty USB 3 drive enclosures on the market. So you can just buy whatever capacity SSD you want and put it in the enclosure.
Here's an example,

I think some of the lacie enclosures can be bought without drives as well so you could put SSD in them.

With either USB3 or Thunderbolt the drive is the limit with normal mechanical based hard drives, but with a SSD drive or a drive array you can push the limits of the interface. At this point you will see better performance with Thunderbolt over USB 3.
