This 1U rackmount unit consolidates storage, docking, and PCIe expansion into a single, space-saving chassis. It features four drive bays that offer exceptional flexibility, supporting a wide range of drive types including 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA\/SAS drives, as well as U.2 NVMe SSDs. With built-in software RAID capabilities, you can configure the drives for speed (RAID 0), redundancy (RAID 1, 5), or a combination of both, providing data protection and performance tailored to your needs. The Flex 1U4 connects to your Mac via a 40Gb\/s Thunderbolt 3 port, which also provides up to 85W of power to charge a connected laptop. An integrated PCIe slot allows for the installation of a half-length expansion card, such as a video capture card or a high-speed network adapter. The unit also serves as a comprehensive docking station, offering additional Thunderbolt, USB-C, USB-A, and DisplayPort 1.4 ports to connect all your peripherals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-Bay rackmount chassis supporting SATA, SAS, and U.2 drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThunderbolt 3 connectivity with up to 40Gb\/s data transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides up to 85W of power delivery to a host computer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated PCIe 3.0 (x4) expansion slot for half-length cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in docking station with USB-C, USB-A, and DisplayPort 1.4 ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftware RAID support for levels 0, 1, 0+1, 4, and 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;
