Populated External RAID Arrays

G-Technology G-RAID with Thunderbolt 16000GB

Why choose it

The two populated bays provide 16TB in RAID 0 for a desktop archive, with USB 3.0 alongside its Thunderbolt 2 connection.¹²

Before you buy

Check host and adapter support before using Thunderbolt 2 with a modern computer; its USB 3.0 connection is a separate option.² Mirrored RAID 1 leaves 8TB nominal capacity before formatting, and still needs a separate backup of important files.¹²
