Hardware RAID storage solution

RAID 0/1/3/5/6/10/30/50/60 support
Storage, dock, and PCIe expansion in one chassis

Bring storage, connectivity, and expansion into one enclosure built for serious production environments. The OWC ThunderBay Flex 8 160TB Hardware RAID Storage/Dock/PCIe Expansion Solution combines high-capacity RAID storage with dock-style connectivity and PCIe expansion, reducing the number of devices needed at the workstation or edit bay. With support for RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 30, 50, and 60, it gives administrators and creators the flexibility to tune for performance, redundancy, or a balance of both. Thunderbolt 40 Gb/s connectivity keeps the system aligned with modern high-throughput workflows, while USB-C 10 Gb/s support broadens compatibility across connected systems. This is the kind of platform that earns its place in a premium environment: fewer boxes, fewer cables, and more capability per chassis. For teams moving large media files, managing active project volumes, or building a compact expansion point for a workstation, ThunderBay Flex 8 delivers the density and control expected from a higher-value storage investment.
