OWC ThunderBay 4 4.0TB 4-Drive HDD Storage Solution, RAID-Ready JBO

Add RAID 0 storage to your Mac or Windows computer with the ThunderBay 4 4TB 4-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID 0 Array from OWC / Other World Computing. As you can guess from its name the ThunderBay 4 features dual Thunderbolt 3 ports which utilize the USB Type-C connector. There is also a DisplayPort 1.2 port for connecting up to a 4K display. The ThunderBay 4 has four drive bays which supports both 2.5 and 3.5 hard drives (2.5 HDDs do not need adapters). This particular ThunderBay 4 model comes with four 1TBTB 3.5 7200 rpm drives for a total of 4TB storage capacity. The included drives are configured in RAID 0. RAID 0 stripes all the drives in the array together so a RAID 0's read and write speeds will be nearly as fast as the combined speed of all the drives in it. Please note that RAID 0 does not offer data redundancy. If you want that you can use the Disk Management utility in Windows or the included SoftRAID Lite software to format the ThunderBay 4 to RAID 1 with an option to upgrade to support RAID 5 and 1+0. Please note that the OWC SoftRAID software is still under development and Windows users may experience issues with RAID 5 configurations.
