It masterfully combines massive storage capacity with versatile PCIe card expansion, consolidating your entire high-performance workflow into a single, rack-mountable 3U chassis connected by a blazing-fast 40Gbps Thunderbolt™ 3 interface.
Stop juggling multiple external drives and expansion boxes. The NA333TB3 provides sixteen hot-swappable drive bays, compatible with both high-capacity 3.5" HDDs and high-speed 2.5" SSDs. When populated with enterprise drives, you can achieve an incredible 160TB of raw storage (or more), with transfer speeds rocketing up to 2750 MB/s—fast enough to handle multiple streams of 4K and 8K footage with ease. Add your preferred 16-port SAS/SATA RAID card to transform this JBOD enclosure into a powerful, enterprise-grade RAID system for ultimate data protection and performance.
Beyond storage, the NA333TB3 features three full-length PCIe 3.0 slots, empowering you to augment your Mac's capabilities.
