\"ThunderBay4_gall5_large\"Today\u2019s 4K video workflows are demanding. External hard drives for video production need more than just a high capacity for massive files. They also need to be powerful, quiet, and secure.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0OWC ThunderBay 4<\/a> is a multimedia workhorse that captures the best of all of those worlds and will help you take your video production projects to new heights.<\/p>\n

Your editing capabilities in video apps such as Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and Avid Media Composer will immediately feel the power of the ThunderBay 4\u2019s dual Thunderbolt 2 ports. Whether you need to transfer uncompressed footage or support for multi-stream compressed 4K video, with sustained data rates up to 1,342 MB\/s, the ThunderBay 4 is up to any task.<\/p>\n

The ThunderBay 4\u2019s dual Thunderbolt 2 ports also bring elite flexibility allowing users to adapt to any workflow and add vast amounts of high-performance storage by daisy-chaining up to five additional devices, plus one high-resolution display.<\/p>\n

RAID 5: The Complete Package<\/b>
\nWith the\u00a0ThunderBay 4 RAID 5 Edition<\/a>, you can add the benefit of the first and only software RAID 5 technology developed for the Mac. RAID 5 will let you merge the four drives for huge performance gains over a single drive, the combined capacity of three of the drives, and data redundancy that allows the array to still work even if one drive fails. Only OWC can combine the massive performance and capacity of ThunderBay 4 with a software RAID engine to provide a stunning combination of performance, flexibility, and reliability.<\/p>\n

Quite simply, it\u2019s simply quiet<\/b>
\nOWC\u2019s time-tested enclosure cooling technology allows the ThunderBay 4 to utilize an open \u201cflow-thru\u201d vented design with an oversized 92 mm, low-turbulence, noise-quieting fan to keep the drives running cool and reliably. In addition, the ThunderBay\u2019s drive isolating design reduces sonic resonance, and is aided by over-sized, rugged, vibration-absorbing, non-skid feet. The ThunderBay quietly does its job leaving you to do yours.<\/p>\n

The \u2018go-to\u2019 for video production gear<\/b>
\nOWC is the number one destination to get for\u00a0hard drives for video production<\/a>. Check out\u00a0more<\/a> of what we have to offer to help your projects reach a new level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
