Real-Time Editing
Create, backup your data, or edit multiple uncompressed video streams faster and more efficiently than ever.
Solid, Reliable, and Cool

You don't have to give up your drive bays when migrating from a Mac Pro tower to the new Mac Pro. Simply plug in the ThunderBay IV to your new Mac Pro and you'll have four drives with a Thunderbolt interface capable of running all the drives at full speed - just as if they were installed internally.
