OWC ThunderBay 4 56TB 4-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID 5 Array (4 x 14TB) Thunderbolt 3 Cable External Power Cable 2 x Security Keys SoftRAID
This ThunderBay 4 56TB 4-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array from OWC / Other World Computing is pre-configured with four 14TB HGST Ultrastar Enterprise-grade drives set up in RAID 5 via SoftRAID XT software. With two Thunderbolt 3 ports featuring transfer speeds of up to 40 Gb/s, it's suitable for a wide variety of workflows such as video and photo editing, audio production, and much more. Actual read and write performance in RAID 5 are around 453 and 456 MB/s respectively. If needed, Thunderbolt 3 connectivity also supports daisy-chaining with up to six devices as well as DisplayPort-equipped displays. Using the SoftRAID XT software, you can reconfigure these drives from RAID 5 to alternate configurations including RAID 0, 1, 4, 1+0, and JBOD.
Cooling
ThunderBay utilizes an open ''flow-thru'' vented design with a 92mm, low-turbulence, noise-quieting fan to keep the drives running cool and reliably.
Multi-Drive
Daisy-chain up to six ThunderBays for massive storage capabilities and increased performance, or connect multiple ThunderBays to multiple Thunderbolt 3 ports to achieve exponential speed capabilities.
Vibration Dampened
ThunderBay's drive isolating design reduces sonic resonance and is aided by over-sized, rugged, vibration-absorbing, non-skid feet.
DisplayPort 1.2 Support
The Thunderbolt 3 ports also support DisplayPort 1.2 that allows daisy-chaining displays through the drive.

Return
Most unopened items sold by Melrose Inc. in new condition and returned within 30 days will receive a refund or exchange. The return window for items sold online begins once the order has been invoiced. Invoicing happens when any part of the order is shipped, delivered by a courier service or made ready for pick up.
Software is not returnable and not refundable. All sales are final. This is generally part of all webcarts selling software. It is buyer beware. The reason for this is once an end-user customer sees a License Code then that code is 'spoiled' because they can use it to gain access to the software. Once a License Code is registered by a customer that product is available to that customer and therefore the code cannot be returned.
