The OWC ThunderBay 4 Mini 4-Bay Enclosure is a media enclosure that allows you to have up to four 2.5" bays that can house an SSD or hard drive to connect to a Mac or Windows system. It is achieved through using a Thunderbolt connection cable. Once installed, they can be configured to your needs by using your own RAID software.
The ThunderBay 4 Mini is equipped with two Thunderbolt 2 ports that support a data transfer speed up to 20 Gb/s between your system and the array. It also allows you to daisy-chain up to six devices such as additional ThunderBays, 4K displays, and more. To cool the drives and the array, OWC uses a quiet 60mm fan along with a flow-thru vented design. Included with the array is a 3.3' (1m) ThunderBolt cable to help you get started.
