Designed for both Windows and Mac systems, this array offers a massive 128TB of total capacity, spread across eight 16TB hard drives. It connects to your computer via Thunderbolt 5, delivering 140W power directly to your system, while two additional Thunderbolt 5 ports supply 30W each and allow for the daisy-chaining of storage devices or monitors.
