OWC ThunderBay 4 RAID 8000GB Tower Black Disk Enclosure – Disk Enclosures (Hard Drive, 8 TB, HDD, SSD, Series ATA III, 3.5 Inch, Serial ATA II, Series ATA III)

It’s a solid product, very easy to install and remove drives, and it runs pretty quietly.You do need a small Philips screwdriver for the drive installation (btw, drives are NOT included on this setup) and then the front locks with a small key. The key thing is the only thing that irritates me about these kind of ex closures, because there’s always the chance you might lose them.That last point aside, it’s a very good product.

Uso este producto para procesar datos de post producción de series y películas. Y sobre paso mi expectativa, No hace nada de ruido, es pequeño respecto a otras unidades, muy buen producto.

Works fine .. 4x 12TB in raid 5 for my Macbook Pro, now I can offload my Synoiogy NAS and use the NAS as a backup device ... the Thunderbay is fast and works like a charm .. just look around for Hard Drives with a lot of noice ..

I was trying these OWC RAID drives, and I'm impressed. I've had the 20Tb (15TB with Raid5) one for a few years and the storage is filling up. So because it's so reliable and fast, I bought a 2nd one with 40TB (30TB with Raid5) and no issues. I like these OWC's for my business. I use LACIE rugged drives for travel and backup, but use the OWC large drive for backup of all files and to the cloud. I don't mess around. I need solid working equipment!

Acquistato per lavori di post produzione cinema, assieme a 4 HD 6Tb Red pro. Con l'applicazione SoftRaid inclusa ho realizzato un RAID5 da 18Tb.Affidabilissimo, anche grazie alla connessione TB3, estremamente ben costruito, tutto in metallo.Unico neo, per chi lavora in un contesto dove i supporti sono spesso formattati per differenti sistemi operativi: l'applicazione SoftRaid della OWC *NON* è compatibile con Paragon (che permette di montare dischi in formato Mac OSX sotto Windows) per cui ho dovuto acquistare MacDrive (sempre della OWC) per poter installare SoftRaid e utilizzare i dischi Mac OSX per i quali Paragon era sempre andato bene.

Perfect for Chia coin mining, using it for that a few months already
