OWC ThunderBay 4
4-bay DAS · Thunderbolt 3 · 3.5in or 2.5in drives
Model OWCTB3IVKIT000
Who the OWC ThunderBay 4 is for
Every drive shows up on its own, which is exactly what SnapRAID and Unraid want. The 40 Gb/s link has room for several spinning drives working at once. Got a Thunderbolt port? This one uses it, for a 40 Gb/s link.
The power supply's built in (one mains lead, no brick) and it does UASP, for less USB overhead.
