Description

Thunderbolt 3 Desktop Storage is the most complete 12Gb/s SAS 4/6(M)/6/8/12-bay Thunderbolt™ 3 desktop storage with RAID control capabilities solution for both PC and Mac. ARC-8050T3-6M incorporated on-board RAID-On-Chip and ECC SDRAM memory to deliver true high performance hardware RAID protection against drive failure.

This combination helps to provide a high performance storage device perfect for the video editor working with Real time multi-stream HD and 4K workflows.
Thunderbolt™ 3 brings Thunderbolt to USB-C at speeds up to 40 Gbps, creating one compact port that does it all – delivering the fastest, most versatile connection to any dock, display, or data device. Thunderbolt 3 Desktop Storage is equipped with dual Thunderbolt 3 ports for connecting to any Thunderbolt 3-enabled host and offers an additional Thunderbolt 3 port for daisy-chaining other peripherals.

The Thunderbolt daisy-chaining allows connection of up to six devices, so customers can connect ARC-8050T3-6M for massive amounts of video storage with a single Thunderbolt connection to their host computer.

Ultrafast Transfer Speed

Unprecedented Performance

ARC-8050T3-6/6M/8/12 RAID storage is built to deliver unprecedented performance, using only carefully, best-in-class components. These include the dual core LSI SAS2308, 12Gb/s SAS ROC, 2GB DDR3-1866 SDRAM with ECC protection and the latest Thunderbolt3-encbled USB-C ports up to 40Gbps, dual 4K UHD external displays.

Powerful Broadcom 12G SAS Engine

ARC-8050T3-6/6M/8/12 series integrate the latest Broadcom 12Gb/s dual core SAS Raid-on-Chip to give you the maximum SAS and SATA bandwidth and protection you need to tackle even the hardest challenging tasks easily.

True Hardware RAID Controller

At the heart of ARC-8050U3-6 RAID storage is the incredibly powerful dual-core Broadcom SAS3108 ROC, giving effortless performance as desirable. It delivers true hardware RAID function without sharing the CPU computing power on the host system and also eases off CPU loading as compared to software RAID and when rebuilding an array in the event of a drive failure.

Speed Up 2GB DDR3-1866 SDRAM

With a massive 2GB of DDR3-1866 SDRAM, ARC-8050T3-6/6M/8/12 gives you super-smooth multitasking during the period of high overload in 4K environment. ARC-8050T3 can configure how much cache SDRAM dedicated for read, and how much for write. If your server application has significantly more reads than writes or more writes than reads, you might need to change this setting to adjust the read/write cache ratio for improving performance. Big cache is the perfect choice for a 4K application drive, making your professional apps work as fast as possible.

SDRAM	Memory Clock (MHz)	Bus Clock(MHz)	Data Rate(MT/s)	Peak Transfer Rate (GB/s)
DDR3-800	100	400	800	6.4
DDR3-1066	133.33	533.33	1066.67	8.5
