Make video workflows fast, simple, and seamless with the ThunderBlade X12 48TB 12-Bay Thunderbolt 5 RAID Array from OWC. Designed to deliver larger storage capacities to massive projects and breakthrough speeds to streamline ingestion and backup times, the ThunderBlade X12 is also small enough to still be a shuttle drive. This RAID array features twelve NVMe PCIe 4.0 drive bays with an M.2 2280 form factor, each preinstalled with a 4TB OWC Aura Pro IV SSD. Preconfigured in RAID 0 via a software controller, the ThunderBlade X12 also supports RAID 1, 4, 5, and 10, allowing you to choose between speed, data redundancy, or a combination of both. Operations are kept cool using the heat-dissipating and fanless aluminum enclosure.

How do you change out the drives when they stop functioning?
On reddit, I saw a 2 year old comment from an OWC person (not sure who) referring to the x8 that you can replace the drives your self. He said there are 4 screws at the bottom and the 2 halves sandwich together. Can this be confirmed?
