RAID disk array OWC ThunderBay 4
The OWC ThunderBay 4 is a 4-bay external RAID disk array designed for creative professionals and power users who need high-speed, configurable storage. With Thunderbolt 3 connectivity it delivers up to 1527 MB/s sustained performance and supports both 2.5" and 3.5" SATA II/III drives. The redesigned black chassis improves cooling and acoustics while keeping the unit compact (135 × 245 × 177 mm) and lightweight (3.9 kg) for desktop use.
ThunderBay 4 offers native support for HDDs and SSDs, flexible RAID configurations, and high throughput via Thunderbolt 3 for multi-stream compressed 4K video and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. The RAID Edition with SoftRAID provides advanced software RAID modes, faster RAID performance, quicker rebuilds, real-time drive monitoring, and e-mail notifications. Each unit is factory-tested with a multi-hour drive burn-in process and is backed by OWC U.S.-based support and a limited warranty.
Install up to four SATA HDDs or SSDs into the drive bays, then connect the ThunderBay 4 to your computer using a Thunderbolt 3 cable. Configure drives as individual volumes or create a RAID array using your operating system tools or the SoftRAID software in the RAID Edition. For initial setup, follow the included documentation for drive installation, RAID configuration, and formatting to your preferred file system. Enable monitoring and e-mail notifications in SoftRAID to track drive health and performance.
For best results, select drives that match capacity and performance when creating RAID arrays, keep firmware and SoftRAID software updated, and maintain regular backups. Position the unit in a well-ventilated area to ensure optimal cooling and quieter operation.
