Professional Grade 4-Bay 2.5-inch Drive Thunderbolt 3 Storage Solution
With four 2.5-inch drive bays, ThunderBay 4 mini transforms SSDs and
HDDs into a pro-grade, Thunderbolt 3 storage solution in a compact design.
ThunderBay 4 mini is about the length of a pencil and weighs only 3.1 pounds
with SSDs. The rugged heat-dissipating aluminum enclosure features two
Thunderbolt 3 ports for up to 1556MB/s speeds to breeze through today’s
highest resolution audio, photo and video formats.
Use mixed drives independently or matched drives as a RAID with the included
SoftRAID setup and management software. Add drives or choose from pre-
congured solutions that are multi-hour “burn-in” test certied. For those
seeking big RAID performance that’s small enough to t on a desk, in a rack,
or on a DIT cart, the search is over.
