Four-bay Thunderbolt 2 RAID array
The OWC ThunderBay 4 RAID 5 Edition is an external desktop enclosure that ships with four 3.5-inch hard drives installed for a total of 8.0 TB of usable capacity. Dual Thunderbolt 2 ports provide the host connection and allow daisy-chaining of additional Thunderbolt devices. The unit supports hardware RAID 5 and JBOD modes, and a built-in cooling fan helps maintain drive temperatures during sustained workloads.
Mac users needing redundant external storage
This system suits creative professionals and small studios who want a single-volume, fault-tolerant archive that connects directly to a Mac via Thunderbolt 2. It is not suited for users who require more than four drive bays, internal installation, or a host interface other than Thunderbolt 2.
Dual Thunderbolt 2 host interface
The enclosure connects to the host exclusively through two Thunderbolt 2 ports, which also serve as the daisy-chain pathway for other Thunderbolt peripherals. If your computer lacks Thunderbolt 2, this product cannot be used without an appropriate adapter or dock.

商品問答
What bandwidth does the Thunderbolt 2 host interface provide for the RAID 5 volume?
The Thunderbolt 2 host interface connects the four installed drives to the computer and serves as the throughput ceiling for the RAID 5 volume.
What drive size and bay count must a rack or shelf accommodate for this 8.0 TB unit?
The enclosure holds four 3.5 inch drives in four bays and measures 7 inches high, 5.3 inches wide and 9.7 inches deep.
How is the RAID 5 array initialised on this OWC ThunderBay 4, and which step is commonly missed?
Connect the dual Thunderbolt 2 ports, power on the unit, then use the supplied software to create the RAID 5 set; the step often missed is completing the software initialisation before writing data.
