RAID Storage Solutions with High-Speed Thunderbolt 3 Connectivity
Effortlessly installable RAID systems featuring rapid Thunderbolt 3 technology designed for Mac and PC
Thunderbolt 3 RAID Systems
Easily and quickly deploy high storage capacities via Thunderbolt 3 systems. Plug in and you're ready to go.
Our range of fast Thunderbolt 3 solutions is well-stocked due to their numerous advantages. We offer smart storage solutions from Areca and Netstor tailored for image editors, audio/video professionals, or simple data backup needs. Starting from compact RAID cubes with four drives for mobile photographers to large 24-bay rackmount systems with multiple Thunderbolt 3 ports. These storages efficiently serve entire workgroups via Thunderbolt 3, and can be expanded further using SAS expansion ports and JBODs to provide additional capacities.
The hot-pluggable and high-speed Thunderbolt 3 standard not only offers exceptional performance but also allows daisy chaining of up to six devices—including a DisplayPort monitor. This setup facilitates easy and cost-effective infrastructure deployment in media offices. Additionally, our active cables, currently extending up to 15 meters, enable networking across multiple offices effortlessly.
Areca's ARC-8042-12 provides large capacities in a small footprint as a SAS-to-SAS desktop RAID subsystem. Up to 12 Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) drives at 12 Gbps or 12 Serial ATA (SATA) drives at 6.0 Gbps can be accommodated in this external storage enclosure. The high-performance dual-core ROC processor, 2GB RAM memory architecture and 12 Gbit/s SAS technology ensure high performance in the workflow.

The ARC-8050T3-12R can be deployed in both PC and Mac environments with 12 bays and 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports. It features an integrated 1.2 GHz dual-core ROC and 2 GB ECC SDRAM memory for high-performance RAID protection. This allows the Thunderbolt3 system to simultaneously power demanding workgroups such as video editors with real-time HD and 4K streams. Daisy-chaining allows up to six devices to be connected, so the ARC-8050T3 rackmount requires only one Thunderbolt port to the host computer.
The ARC-8050T3-16R can be deployed in both PC and Mac environments with 16 bays and 2 Thunderbolt3 ports. It features an integrated 1.2GHz dual-core ROC and 2GB of ECC SDRAM memory for high-performance RAID protection.
This allows the Thunderbolt3 system to simultaneously power demanding workgroups such as video editors with real-time HD and 4K streams. Daisy-chaining enables the connection of up to six devices, so the ARC-8050T3 rackmount requires only one Thunderbolt port to the host computer.
The ARC-8050T3-24R can be deployed in both PC and Mac environments with 24 bays and 2 Thunderbolt3 ports. It features an integrated 1.2 GHz dual-core ROC and 2 GB ECC SDRAM memory for high-performance RAID protection. This allows the Thunderbolt3 system to simultaneously power demanding workgroups such as video editors with real-time HD and 4K streams.

The ARC-8050T3 SAN can be deployed in both PC and Mac environments with 24 bays and up to 9 Thunderbolt3/USB-C ports. It features an integrated 1.2 GHz dual-core ROC and 4 GB ECC SDRAM memory for high-performance RAID protection. This allows the Thunderbolt3 system to simultaneously power demanding workgroups such as video editors with real-time HD and 4K streams. The XSAN network can also be expanded with a central server via the Mac Mini slot on the back.
The sophisticated storage box can handle USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen1, USB 3.2 Gen2 and Thunderbolt 3 via a single connection. The fast RAID systems are available with 4, 6, 8 and 12 drive bays. As an operating system-independent storage system, installation is possible without additional software or drivers. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 3, 5, 6, single disc or JBOD for the necessary security of the data stored on it.
The compact storage cubes are suitable wherever large amounts of data need to be available quickly at individual workstations. This is particularly true for the media industry, for example in audio or video editing as well as photo composing. As there must be no disruptive noise, the Areca engineers installed an intelligent cooling system in the ARC-8050T3U. It continuously adapts to the ambient conditions by automatically regulating the speed of the brushless fan.

Here you will find the most important questions about our storage solutions.
For highly critical or latency-sensitive workloads in particular, outsourcing to the cloud alone is often not enough. A local system provides the necessary speed and control: the data remains in your company, which enables fast, synchronous processing and a high standard of security. For example, you can run time-critical applications smoothly and at the same time benefit from the advantages of the cloud for backup or archiving.
We offer solutions from small SMEs to large enterprise operations. Whether you need a compact RAID system for a few terabytes, a high-availability NAS for multiple locations or a JBOD to expand capacity with hundreds of drives, our experts can help you make the right choice and offer a wide range of form factors, protocols and equipment variants.
Our storage systems are state of the art. The stored data is then protected in various ways: this can be RAID technologies, modern file systems such as ZFS, erasure coding, replication, snapshots and/or encryption options. Our industrial grade hardware is assembled in Kirchheim and tested in a burn-in test. This is how we guarantee a long service life for your storage systems.
Absolutely. Many of our systems have a modular design so that you can easily add more drives via JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) expansions. This allows you to flexibly adapt the capacity to growing data volumes at any time without having to purchase a completely new solution.
We support you throughout the entire life cycle of your storage system - from the initial consultation to installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance. Our technicians are always available on weekdays; we also offer a 24x7x4 service on request. We also support you with customs and financing issues and take care of firmware updates and any special requests.
