OWC Designed 4-Bay Thunderbolt Solution

Other World Computing Inc. expanded its line of Thunderbolt interface storage products with the addition of the ThunderBay IV four-bay external high-performance drive.

High-Performance Four-Bay Design
Available in capacities up to 16TB of total storage, it adds storage capacity and throughput to any Mac or PC with a Thunderbolt port. Applications such as A/V post-production, photography, music, graphics, data management, and even Time Machine backups are enhanced with access to data at data rates of up to 887MB/s read, 884MB/s write.

Flexible for Individual Storage Needs
It supports independent drive access of up to four installed drives, is RAID ready, and is tailored for RAID-0, -1, and -5 configurations. Combinations of RAID, individual drive(s) or multiple RAID sets are possible.

“We’re excited about the speed, capacity and flexibility that the ThunderBay IV can offer,” said Larry O’Connor, founder and CEO, OWC. “It’s the perfect mix of high-capacity storage with blazing fast Thunderbolt technology performance.“

Daisy Chain Capable
The dual Thunderbolt ports allow daisy chaining of up to five additional devices plus one high-resolution display. Currently, up to 96TB of storage plus a display can be added using the solution with any Mac (or PC) via a single available Thunderbolt port.

Solid, Reliable, and Cool
An aluminum enclosure protects the four internal drives and keeps them cool thanks to its heat dissipation. In addition, the locking faceplate keeps the installed drives secure.

Drive for Mac Pro Data Migration
No need to give up the versatility of drive bays when migrating from a Mac Pro tower to the Mac Pro 2013. Plug in the ThunderBay IV to a Mac Pro and see four drives with a Thunderbolt interface capable of running all drives at full speed – just as if installed internally. Users will have the speed and power of the Mac Pro, with the drive capacity and flexibility of previous generations, all with the speed of Thunderbolt technology.
