Equipped with two Thunderbolt 3 interfaces, the D5 Thunderbolt 3 RAID storage enables users to connect with any USB device at 8 times the speed of USB3.0, while supporting full 4K video performance.
Boost Performance Using Hardware RAID
Software RAID consumes extensive resources on your computer system, which affects the efficiency of your other tasks. Moreover, unexpected power outages come with the substantial risk of data corruption for the backed up software RAID. The D5 Thunderbolt 3 features professional-grade hardware RAID and on-board flash memory to provide faster, more efficient backup and restore capabilities, enhancingyour performance and providing additional fail-safes.
Capitalizing on the Thunderbolt 3 and DP interfaces, the D5 thunderbolt 3 supports multi-screen displays with up to 3 monitors or daisy-chain up to 6 devices. This is an ideal solution for multitaskers, especially when efficiency is the end goal. The Thunderbolt 2 devices with the daisy-chain function can also be daisy-chained to the D5 Thunderbolt 3.
Note: Daisy-chainning is compatible well on Mac, Windows has the compatibility issue and may crash.
Both Apple and Intel have certified the D5 Thunderbolt 3's design and performance, ensuring the device's consistent performance and reliability.
