  • Hi, where can I find the Physical specs for this enclosure? I have looked all over.

    I need to make sure it will fit where I need it to go.

    thanks.

    • When you click through to the page where you configure the FLEX 8, scroll down just a little bit and you’ll see a “Specifications” tab between “Overview” and “Gallery.”

      Dimensions:
      Height: 34.9 cm (13.7 in)
      Length: 39.0 cm (15.4 in)
      Width: 14.9 cm (5.9 in)

  • Will these sleds work in the older model OWC Mercury Elite Pro Quad RAID enclosures?

    • Yes, these are the same drive trays that have been used in the past for the older Thunderbays, and the Mercury Elite Pro Quads.
