Eight Bays of Thunderbolt Storage, Configured Your Way
Camera cards and project files pile up faster than a single drive can hold, and cloud sync is too slow for 8K footage. The OWC ThunderBay 8 gives you eight bays and up to 2586 MB/s over Thunderbolt 3, then lets you populate them with your own 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch HDDs or SSDs. It ships diskless with OWC SoftRAID for RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, and 10, so you build the exact capacity and protection your work needs. Browse more OWC gear or other data storage.
