hi, is there any chance that you bring out a new thunderbay 4 mini thunderbolt 3?
Has the Envoy Pro EX Thunderbolt 3 RAID 0 inside?
Hi, MaX. The Envoy Pro EX Thunderbolt 3 does not feature RAID capabilities.
Great. Why? RAID 0 may be faster (or not), but increases failure rate more than twice if one SSD or the controller fails. Well done!
