I'm trying to identify a high capacity (4TB+) high speed (250+MB/sec) storage solution that will work with a Dell 6700 mobile workstation.

There is a single e-sata port, 2x USB 3.0, and 1x Express Card 54mm. An additional desire (not requirement) is the ability to connect the storage solution to via thunderbolt to my MBP.

Anyone have any ideas?

Right now I'm looking at an Express Card 54MM 2x ESATA port multipler card with an external enclosure with 2 disks in RAID0. Not finding any verified solutions with benchmarks though.

You might have issue maintaining the high speed your looking for once you start filling the drives. This of course assumes your card slot is capable of pciev2 speeds to begin with. A pair or WD red 3tb in raid 0 should work well for quite a while I think without going to enterprise class drives.
