The Maxx Digital 12TB 4 Bay Thunderbolt USB 3.0 RAID Hard Drive is a compact sized RAID drive that offers great performance despite its size. This drive is both compatible with Thunderbolt and USB 3.0. The Thunderbolt technology is a revolutionary technology that was designed for performance, simplicity, and flexibility.

Thunderbolt I/O technology lets you move data between high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices on a single, compact port. Both data and display signals can be sent and received at the same time through dual 10Gbps channels. A single cable attached to one of the ports provides 2 channels able to achieve the 10Gbps speeds flowing both ways simultaneously. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices. The ThunderRAID Mini achieves speeds of 500-550 MB/s in a RAID 5 configuration over Thunderbolt connectivity. The ThunderRAID Mini incorporated an on-board high performance ARM based storage I/O processor and with 1GB DDR3 SDRAM memory on-board with ECC protection to deliver true high performance hardware RAID for the demands of serious to deliver true high performance hardware RAID for the demands of serious HD media creators needs.
