Housed in a compact 1U chassis, it combines four-bay storage, a full-featured Thunderbolt 3 dock, and PCIe expansion capabilities. The four universal drive bays offer unparalleled flexibility, supporting a wide range of 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives, including SATA, U.2, and SAS (with an optional controller card). This allows users to mix and match drive types to balance speed, capacity, and cost. With the included SoftRAID software, you can easily configure and manage your drives for performance or data protection. The unit's docking functionality provides extensive connectivity with Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, USB-A, and DisplayPort 1.4 ports, capable of driving up to an 8K display. One Thunderbolt 3 port delivers up to 85W of power to charge a connected laptop. For further customization, a PCIe 3.0 slot allows for the installation of specialized cards such as high-speed networking, audio\/video capture, or hardware RAID controllers. The Flex 1U4 is an ideal hub for digital imaging, video production, and high-performance computing environments running on macOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour universal drive bays supporting 2.5\"\/3.5\" SATA, U.2, and SAS drives (SAS requires controller card)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThunderbolt 3 interface with speeds up to 40Gb\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivers up to 85W of charging power to a connected host computer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated docking station with Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, USB-A, and DisplayPort 1.4 ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne PCIe 3.0 x16 (x4 speed) slot for half-length, full-height expansion cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 1U rackmount design with internal power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;
