OWC 24TB Gemini Thunderbolt 3 Dock and RAID Station (2 x 12TB)

The OWC 24TB Gemini Thunderbolt 3 Dock and RAID Station (2 x 12TB) allows you to boost the capacity of your devices and delivers fast transfers at speeds of up to 497 MB/s. It's equipped with a pair of 12TB 3.5" 7200 rpm HDDs. With dual drive bays, seven connectivity ports, and an SD card reader, the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dock is a do-it-all tool for organizing your digital life.

With the built-in hardware RAID controller, you can mirror the drives with RAID 1 as a reliable backup for your important data, you can stripe the drives with RAID 0 for optimal performance and maximum speed, or you can select SPAN to combine the drives for extra large storage capacities.

An advantage of the built-in hardware RAID controller is that the RAID set is OS-independent, meaning the storage drive can be moved from one system to another with ease. Because the RAID set is managed inside the Gemini, no additional setup is required on your computer.

The PCIe-to-SATA controller makes use of two PCIe lanes. When using a non-RAID configuration, this allows for a single SSD to run at full SATA 6Gb/s speeds and deliver read transfer rates over 500 MB/s.

The Gemini Thunderbolt 3 Dock and RAID Station support USB Power Delivery (PD), providing 27W of power to laptops that support charging from a 9V/3A power source, such as the late-2016 MacBook Pro. This allows you to recharge your laptop's battery even when it is not plugged into any other power source.

For added convenience and flexibility, the Gemini can accommodate both 2.5 and 3.5" SATA drives. The assembly is completely toolless so drives can be easily installed or uninstalled.
