It consolidates storage, docking, and PCIe expansion into a single Thunderbolt 3 device. The unit features four drive bays that support a wide array of drive types, including SATA, U.2, and SAS (with an optional controller card), allowing users to configure their storage for speed or redundancy using the built-in software RAID capabilities. Beyond storage, the Flex 1U4 acts as a powerful docking station, providing a host of connectivity options including multiple USB-A and USB-C ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 output for driving up to an 8K display, and up to 85W of power delivery to charge a connected laptop. A dedicated PCIe slot allows for further expansion, enabling the installation of specialized cards for video capture, audio processing, or high-speed networking. Its compact 1U design makes it an ideal centerpiece for DIT carts, mobile production racks, and studio environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-Bay flexible storage supporting SATA, U.2, and SAS drives (SAS requires controller card)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Thunderbolt 3 ports with up to 40Gb\/s bandwidth and 85W host power delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated docking station with USB-A, USB-C, and DisplayPort 1.4 ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 3.0 x4 expansion slot for adding full-height, half-length cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftware RAID support for levels 0, 1, 0+1, 4, and 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 1U rackmount form factor for professional integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
