Desktop 16 bay (3.5" / 2.5") Thunderbolt™ 3 Storage
The blazing-fast, Thunderbolt™ 3 interface 40Gbps has been thoughtfully designed for the Netstor desktop NS780TB3 storage enclosure to allow the unit to be kept at the highest, full performance and achievements of up to 2750 MB per second, which is two times (2x) Thunderbolt™ 2’s throughput and eight times (8x) USB 3’s performance.
Created desktop 16-bay storage chassis with support of sixteen hot-swappable drive trays inside, the NS780TB3 supports the most space utilization efficiency characteristic, featuring the utmost high-density trait that allows the storage to be excellently situated at any site for production. As each tray attached with a present maximum 20TB HDD, the total usable storage will reach up to 320TB raw capacity in favor of any mass content creation work and application; additionally, as future drives whose capacity greater than the current 20TB are utilized in NS780TB3 will the eventual total capacity be even greater.
Based on the application and requirement, users can choose their own desired brand and model of RAID card or SAS Host Bus Adapter (HBA) to be installed in the desktop storage in support of operation. By utilizing a sixteen port RAID controller card, the Netstor desktop Thunderbolt™ 3 JBOD immediately turns into an enterprise RAID storage with RAID level protection including 0, 1, 10, 3, 5, 6, 30, 50, and 60 for the secured stored data and archiving.
The all-new desktop Mac Studio freshly debuts with multiple high-speed Thunderbolt™ 4 ports, allowing multiple external devices and mass storages to be connected with in support of production, and the NS780TB3 will surely be the very ideal choice for the mass data storage expansion by way of next-level and blazing-fast data transmission rate in favor of varied demanding workflows in all fields to the Mac Studio.
Built with two front and two rear 12×12 cm cooling fans, the well-devised airflow ventilation architecture does genuinely allow the warm air to be smoothly ventilated out of the desktop storage enclosure in the company of ultra low dBA sound level to suit all sorts of production and environment.
NS780TB3 is the first ever finest storage created for the digital content creation, video editing, color-grading, post production and playback. With two NS780TB3 storage units each with a RAID 6 volume over the hard drives connected to a Mac Studio, the two Netstor units can eventually be grouped for a RAID 0 volume via macOS, achieving up to 4200 MB/s throughput to Mac Studio in support of the 8K video production performance for the pro colorists, video editors, and content creators.
The Netstor 16-bay desktop storage is designed to support Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS operating system platforms; also, the storage enclosure itself simply doesn’t require a driver for operation and application. Thus the NS780TB3 does truly work with all computers and servers running Windows 10/11 and Mac computers including Mac Studio running macOS.
