It’s a groundbreaking workflow solution for digital imaging, VFX, video production, and video editing professionals from the world’s leading Thunderbolt accessory manufacturer. ThunderBay Flex 8 offers eight drive bays that support a mix of SATA/SAS and U.2/M.2 NVMe drives for up to 172TB of storage capacity.

See your work in greater detail by adding up to an 8K display via a built-in DisplayPort 1.4 connection. Ingest hi-res images and video via front-side SD 4.0 and CFexpress card readers. And when you want to expand your desktop capabilities, there’s a PCIe slot waiting for your specific project needs.
ThunderBay Flex 8 is the one Thunderbolt 3 desktop device that rules them all. With an irresistible economy of scale, this consolidated solution is ideal for anyone waiting for the right moment to invest in Thunderbolt technology.
To get the maximum combination of safety and speed out of your 8 Bay RAID, we at MediaDrives.ie recommend setting your unit to ‘RAID 5’, which means you lose 25% of your storage capacity (so a 48TB becomes an 36TB) but in the unlikely event one or even two of the internal enterprise class HDDs failing at some stage over the years, your data is still fully protected and can be rebuilt from the remaining internal drives.
