Areca ARC-8050T3U-6 Thunderbolt 3/USB 3.2

The ARC-8050T3U series is equipped with two Thunderbolt 3 ports to connect to any Thunderbolt 3-enabled host and offers an additional Thunderbolt 3 port for daisy-chaining other peripherals, while also supplying power for fast laptop charging. The ARC-8050T3U also has a full-size DisplayPort 1.4 video output on its rear, allowing for quick and easy 8K 30Hz display setup.

If an ARC-8050T3U is connected to a USB-C computer port, a USB device driver within the ARC-8050T3U-enabled system is activated and the internal USB device driver handles USB (2.0, USB 3.2 Gen 1, or USB 3.2 Gen 2) signals to the USB-C port. In this condition, the ARC-8050T3U Thunderbolt 3 port behaves exactly like a typical USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 enabled connector.

The existing Thunderbolt 3 port on the RAID storage does not support USB-C computer port compatibility mode. Areca's newest ARC-8050T3U Thunderbolt 3 port supports both Thunderbolt 3 and USB protocol which allows USB-only computer users and Thunderbolt computer users to access the same storage seamlessly.

The ARC-8050T3U 6/8/12-bay RAID storage is designed to deliver unprecedented performance, carefully using only best-in-class components. These include dual-core ROC, PCIe Gen3 x8, 12Gb/s SAS, ECC-protected integrated cache SDRAM, and the latest USB-C ports with Thunderbolt3 up to 40Gbps, dual 4K UHD external displays.

The 6/8/12-bay ARC-8050T3U RAID Storage integrates Broadcom's latest Dual Core 12Gb/s SAS Raid-on-Chip to give you maximum SAS and SATA bandwidth and the protection you need to tackle even the most difficult tasks with ease.

At the heart of the ARC-8050T3U 6/8/12-bay RAID storage is the incredibly powerful Broadcom dual-core ROC, delivering effortless performance the way you want it. It offers a true hardware RAID function without sharing CPU computing power in the host system and also eases the load on the CPU compared to software RAID and when rebuilding an array in the event of a drive failure.
