Equipped with two Thunderbolt 3 interfaces, the D8-332 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. TerraMaster's D8-332 Thunderbolt 3 features professional-grade hardware RAID and on-board flash memory to provide faster, more efficient backup and restore capabilities, enhancing your performance and providing additional fail-safes.
Capitalizing on the Thunderbolt 3 and DP interfaces, the D8-332 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 D8-332 Thunderbolt 3.
Note: Daisy-chainning is compatible well on Mac, Windows has the compatibility issue and may crash.
To use the device, your system should satisfy the requirements below:
Operating System: 64-bit Windows 8/10 or later; MAC OS X 10.12 or Version later;
Hardware Requirement: CPU Intel i5 Quad-Core or higher;
Memory: Minimum 4GB;
Interface: Thunderbolt 3 or 2; If your device has only the USB ports, it will not be compatible.
Applicable Hard Drive: 3.5" SATA enterprise hard drive, SSHD hybrid hard drive, NAS hard drive (SATA III or above), or 2.5" SSD (SATA II or above).
With the D8 thunderbolt 3, Terramaster has not compromise on its use of state of the art storage technologies to ensure data safety and security.
Large Storage Capacity
Compatible with 3.5'' SATA disks and 2.5'' SSDs, allowing professionals to capitalise on a total storage capacity of up to 160TB (20TB x 8, RAID 0). As a result, you can be assured the device gives you the tools you need to overcome any storage challenge.
The Ideal Companion for All Professionals
Given its compactness, its large storage capacity, and its lightning speed, the D8-332 Thunderbolt 3 is ideally suited for the most demanding applications, including 4K video editing, as well as seamless 4K streaming. Other users, especially those with strict speed and storage requirements, will find a valuable partner in this device.
Authoritative Quality Certification
Both Apple and Intel have certified the D8-332 Thunderbolt 3's design and performance, ensuring the device's consistent performance and reliability.
A key feature of Thunderbolt 3 is its bandwidth capacity, which has been doubled since Thunderbolt 2. At the same time, the D8-332 Thunderbolt 3 benefits from a HD DP digital interface and a pair of Thunderbolt 3 interfaces. By daisy-chaining two 4K displays (or one 5K display) to the D8-332 Thunderbolt 3, users can augment their workspace in the smartest and most suitable way for their professional needs. Additionally, using Thunderbolt 3 connections, users can even power a compatible notebook computer.
Lightning Speed, Multiple RAID modes supported, and Multifunctional
- Equipped with the 40-Gbps Thunderbolt 3 lightning speed interface,
- Drawing on a pair of Thunderbolt 3 interfaces (40Gbps) and a hardware RAID controller, the D8-332 Thunderbolt 3 storage can operate at transferring speeds of 1600 MB/s under a 7200 RPM high-speed hard disk and RAID 0 array mode. Under RAID 5, the device can achieve a speed of 1440 MB/s.
- RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and JBOD disk array modes supported.
- Underpins the all-important concern for data security.
- Ensures your storage capacity is utilised in the most efficient way possible.
- Large-capacity external storage backup device for Mac and Windows.
- Supports Apple Time Machine to easily back up the data in your Mac.
- Supports Windows backup software to back up the data in your computer.
