Equipped with 12 x 4TB hard drives for a total storage capacity of 48TB, the back of the enclosure features two 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 ports that allow you to connect the enclosure to computers running macOS 10.12 or higher, as well as Windows 10 and 8. Once connected, you benefit from enhanced 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 connectivity and the ability to daisy-chain up to six compatible peripheral devices. Additional connectivity includes one DisplayPort 1.2 video output for connecting a 4K / 60 Hz monitor, plus a four-lane SFF-8644 expansion port that operates using the SAS-3 12 Gb/s standard for connecting up to seven expansion enclosures.

The Areca ARC-8050T3 also comes with extensive RAID level compatibility.

For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD and Single Disk configurations are also available. This array, including its RAID status, can be configured using the LCD panel on the front, a rear RJ45 port, or one of the Thunderbolt 3 ports.

To back up the enhanced connectivity and advanced RAID features, the ARC-8050T3 comes equipped with an 1.2 GHz Dual-Core RAID-On-Chip and 2GB of 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC memory to ensure smooth operation when working with data intensive applications.

[1 x 400 W] No problem working with this product 5

[Desktop] This is the first RAID system I have set up. I settled on the OWC with included drives because I felt like it would be less hassle. I did have a few problems setting it up but the OWC customer service team was great and worked with me until I had I it set up the way I want it. This is super fast and holds a lot of data (even though I went with a RAID 1 0 configuration). I will definitely buy another one when I need to daisy chain for more storage. A big thumbs up! 5

[37.4 dBA] Bought raid to handle over two weeks worth of shooting 4k. Working well so far, and definitely a bit faster/efficient than my previous way of working with a bunch of drives daisy chained together! 5

[1 x 400 W] Lot's of space, very fast, fans and drives are quite for spinning drives... Setup is easy. It comes with trial software and then it asks you to purchase them for a large fee. 5

[Black] My third (and largest) OWC drive. 5

David	25/06/2024
[44.53 lb] Dead simple setup with my new Mac Studio. OWC's support is excellent, from the initial purchase decision to installation (and I presume support down the road). Only minor complaint is the fan noise. A lot quieter than my old Promise Pegasus raid but still noticeable. 5

[37.4 dBA] Works very well. Arrived in a triple packed and buffered box. This little 4 drive bay Array is surprisingly heavy. Has rubber feet to stand on and wont scratch the desk or wood flooring. The fan is a bit audible if this unit sits on your desk and you are used to the quiet. Overall a good choice. 5

[44.53 lb] Con el tiempo empece a acumular muchas memorias externas y al comprar ThunderBay 4 20TB solucione esta necesidad. Utilizo para guardar cantidad de videos en alta definicin. 5

[48 TB] As a video editor, I need a system that has quick read/write speeds, is secure with its data backup, is easy to set up/use/upgrade, and, ideally, is affordable. This RAID system has given me all of these elements. Some users mention having problems with noise from the fan. As in most cases, it depends on your needs. If you need absolute silence to do audio recording, you may want to find a separate space to store this unit. But the fan is really not too loud, to be honest. It's a great product, especially for the price. 5
