OWC ThunderBay 4 Mini 4-Bay Thunderbolt 3 External Drive Enclosure

The OWC ThunderBay 4 Mini External Drive Enclosure is a compact storage solution that you can use to store new or existing 2.5-inch hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs). Despite being small and lightweight, this enclosure offers great performance and flexibility just like other larger ThunderBay enclosures. You can take advantage of its high-speed data transfer rate of up to 1556MB/s thanks to its two Thunderbolt 3 ports that are also backward-compatible with Thunderbolt 2. With such speed, you can easily handle personal and business backups, including high-resolution audio, photo, and video formats. It is an ideal storage solution for those who are into demanding workflows, and it offers speed, size, and convenience all in one package.

The enclosure comes with four drive bays that allow for mixing and matching of different SSD and HDD brands and capacities. You can use the mixed drives independently or combine them as a RAID configuration by using RAID setup and management software, such as OWC SoftRAID. You can also use pre-configured capacity solutions to achieve your desired balance of storage, performance, and data redundancy. The enclosure runs efficiently without overheating thanks to its rugged heat-dissipating aluminum enclosure and cooling fan.

If you need more storage, the enclosure allows you to daisy-chain up to five additional ThunderBay 4 mini solutions to create massive storage capacities. This can be done while still maintaining flexibility, capacity, and capability. Alternatively, you can connect multiple ThunderBay 4 mini solutions to multiple Thunderbolt 3 ports to achieve exponential speed capabilities.

The OWC ThunderBay 4 Mini External Drive Enclosure is Thunderbolt certified for Mac and Windows, and comes with a one-year OWC limited warranty. This is an excellent storage solution if you want to save desk space and weight without compromising on speed and performance.
