\"PR_ThunderBay4\"Other World Computing<\/a>\u00a0announced the new 20TB capacity for the OWC ThunderBay IV<\/a> line of four-bay external high-performance storage solutions, one of OWC\u2019s family of Thunderbolt interface storage products<\/a>.<\/p>\n

High-Performance Four-Bay Design<\/b><\/p>\n

The ThunderBay IV, now available with up to 20TB of total storage, adds tremendous storage capacity and throughput to any Mac or PC with a Thunderbolt port. Applications such as A\/V post-production, photography, music, graphics, data management, and even Time Machine\u00a0backups are enhanced with access to data at sustained data rates of up to 887MB\/s\u00a0read, 884MB\/s write.<\/p>\n

Flexible for Individual Storage Needs<\/b><\/p>\n

The ThunderBay IV supports independent drive access of up to four installed drives, is fully RAID ready, and is ideal for software RAID 0, 1, and 5 configurations. Even combinations of RAID, individual drive(s) or multiple RAID sets are possible with OWC ThunderBay IV.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new 20TB capacity of the ThunderBay IV is a real benefit to all users, especially for anyone working with 4K content and its larger capacity needs,\u201d<\/i> said Larry O\u2019Connor, Founder and CEO, Other World Computing. \u201cNow users can have <\/i>blazing fast Thunderbolt technology performance and a new option for 20TB of storage space.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Daisy Chain Capable<\/b><\/p>\n

ThunderBay\u2019s dual Thunderbolt ports\u00a0allow daisy chaining of up to\u00a0five additional devices plus one high-resolution display, for up to 120TB of daisy-chained storage, using the ThunderBay IV solution with any Mac (or PC) via a single available Thunderbolt port.<\/p>\n

<\/b>Solid, Reliable, and Cool<\/b><\/p>\n

A durable aluminum enclosure protects the four internal drives and keeps them cool thanks to its superior heat\u00a0dissipation. In addition, the locking faceplate keeps the installed drives secure at all times.<\/p>\n

The Perfect Drive for Mac Pro Data Migration<\/b><\/p>\n

No need to give up the versatility of drive bays when migrating from a Mac Pro tower\u00a0to the Mac\u00a0Pro 2013. Simply plug in the ThunderBay IV to a Mac Pro and see four drives with a\u00a0Thunderbolt interface capable of running all drives at full speed \u2014 just as if installed\u00a0internally. Users will have the speed and power of the Mac Pro, with the drive capacity and flexibility of previous generations, all with the extreme speed of Thunderbolt technology.<\/p>\n
