Areca Desktop RAID, 4x 3.5" 12Gb/s SAS

The Areca ARC-8050T5U-4A is a professional 4-bay desktop RAID storage solution designed for high-demand workflows in post-production, broadcast, and IT environments. Featuring the latest Thunderbolt 5 interface, it delivers high performance with speeds up to 120 Gbps, making it ideal for handling dual 6K or 8K video streams. At its core is a powerful Raid-on-Chip (ROC) controller that manages true hardware RAID, offloading complex parity calculations from the host computer to maximize application performance and ensure enterprise-class data protection. The enclosure supports both SAS and SATA drives and is available in a range of pre-configured capacities to suit your project needs. For maximum flexibility, its dual Thunderbolt 5 ports support daisy-chaining additional peripherals and can also connect to USB-C hosts using the USB 3.2 Gen 2 protocol. A dedicated DisplayPort 2.1 output allows for easy connection to a high-resolution monitor, completing a powerful and streamlined workstation setup.

Return autorization

If you would like to return any item(s), please contact us by either emailing info@dittools.eu or calling (+372) 5556 0057. We will share with you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) code and ask that you clearly mark this code outside of your shipping box as you ship your item(s) back for a refund.

You will be liable for the shipping and any applicable customs/duty fees returning the item(s).

Incorrect items

In order to determine whether the return is initiated due to a technical problem, we may ask for you to provide visual support like images or a video on the item(s).

Shipping

Returned merchandise must be in its original packaging, and placed in a decent shipping box, e.g. the same box that we shipped the items to you in. Please make sure to clearly mark the RMA code you have received from us outside on the box.

Do not forget to cover or peel off any existing shipping labels on the box.

DIT Supplies OÜ cannot be held accountable for return shipments that have not reached us or returns made without RMA codes. We strongly advise that if you are returning the item(s) with a carrier of your choice that you use a traceable shipping method.

It may take 4-5 business days for your return to reach us. Once it is received and inspected, your refund will be processed and automatically applied to your credit card or original method of payment within 14 business days.

Customs, duties & taxes

There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
