The latest ARC-8050T3U Series is not only capable of Thunderbolt 3 with 40 Gbps, but also works with computers via USB 3.2 Gen2 (3.1) and backwards compatible with USB 3.0 as well.

Equipped with dual Thunderbolt 3 ports for connecting to any Thunderbolt 3-enabled host and offers an additional Thunderbolt 3 port for daisy-chaining other peripherals, while also supplying power for quick notebook charging. The ARC-8050T3U also sports a full sized DisplayPort 1.4 video output on its rear, allowing for a quick and easy 8K 30Hz display setup

A built-in USB device controller is automatically enabled when the ARC-8050T3U is plugged in a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C (3.1) computer port, a well as backwards compatible with USB 3.2 Gen1, 3.0, 2.0 host ports. In this condition, the ARC-8050T3U Thunderbolt 3 port behaves exactly like a typical USB-C 3.2 Gen 2-enabled connector.

Unparalleled Performance

ARC-8050T3U series offers the most powerfull and reliable  Thunderbolt™ 3 desktop Hardware RAID storage for both PC and Mac solutions. ARC-8050T3 incorporates an industry proven on-board dual core 1.2Ghz RAID-On-Chip and with 2GB DDR3-1866 memory to deliver true high performance hardware RAID protection against drive failure. This combination helps to provide a high performance storage device perfect for the video editor working with Real time multi-stream HD and 4K, 6K and 8K workflows.

Enterprise Class Data Availability & Security

The ARC-8050T3 supports Hardware RAID 5 for uninterrupted data availability in a single drive failure event or  RAID 6 for dual drive failure safeguard. Active hot-spare drive assignment to automatcally use and instantly begin the rebuilding process and Hot-Swappable drive bays provides zero downtime to swap drives during a drive failure event. 

Intelligent power On/Off function powers the ARC-8050T3-12 unit in unison with the host computer during startup and shut-down for extra level of data integrity.

Controller-level hardware encryption manages all drives attached to the ARC-8050T3U-6/6M/8/12 for higher levels of data security and protection without impacting performance.
