The intelligent drive monitoring system provides desktop and email notifications to keep you informed about the health and status of your drives.

The ThunderBay 4's performance is further enhanced by SoftRAID, OWC's cutting-edge software RAID platform. This offers advanced RAID modes, superior performance, real-time disk monitoring, and rapid rebuild capabilities that hardware RAID cannot match. Experience up to 35% faster RAID 5 performance and significantly quicker rebuild times, empowering your workflow like never before.

Each ThunderBay 4 unit undergoes OWC's rigorous multi-hour drive "burn-in" testing, ensuring that it arrives ready for intensive use. The device's cooling efficiency is a testament to OWC's time-tested enclosure cooling technology, featuring an open "flow-thru" vented design and an oversized 92mm fan that keeps drives cool under heavy operation.

For those who require even more storage, the ThunderBay 4 can be daisy-chained with up to six units, creating a colossal storage network that can handle even the most demanding storage needs. The vibration dampening design and rugged, non-skid feet ensure stability and reduce sonic resonance, maintaining the integrity of your data.
