Thunderbolt cable included
Thunderbolt 2 is full backward compatibility to the same cables and connectors used 
with today's Thunderbolt. It pushes speed to 20Gb/s and enables 4K video file 
transfer and display simultaneously. ARC-8050T2 is equipped with dual Thunderbolt 2 
ports for connecting to any Thunderbolt 2-enabled host such as the new Mac Pro, and 
offers an additional Thunderbolt 2 port for daisy-chaining other peripherals. The 
Thunderbolt daisy-chaining allows connection of up to six devices, so customers can 
connect ARC-8050T2 for massive amounts of video storage with a single Thunderbolt 
connection to their host computer. ARC-8050T2 can meet the demand of users when 
working with rich, ultra-high resolution media through Thunderbolt 2 interface.

Unleash Your Creativity Faster Than Ever
Unparalleled Performance for 4K Workflow
Enterprise-class Data Availability and Security
ARC-8050T2 is the most complete 6Gb/s SAS 8-bay Thunderbolt 2 box with RAID 
control capabilities solution for both PC and Mac. ARC-8050T2 incorporated on-board 
dual core 800Mhz RAID-On-Chip and with 1GB DDR3-1333 memory to deliver true 
high performance hardware RAID protection against drive failure.This combination 
helps to provide a high performance storage device perfect for the video editor 
working with Real time multi-stream HD and 4K workflows. It runs efficiently without 
disruption or major drops in performance to meet the requirements of 4K data 
workflow. It is so quick it allows for 4K displays at the same time as daisy chaining 
ARC-8050T2 and doing a simultaneous 4K output and file transfers while maintaining 
maximum throughput.
ARC-8050T2 supports the hardware RAID 6 engine to allow two HDDs failures without 
impact the existing data and performance. It allows users to hot swap drive in the 
event of a drive failure with zero downtime. Its high data availability and protection 
derives from many advanced RAID features on ARC-8050T2 RAID box design. 
Intelligent power On/Off function on storage turns power in unison with the host 
computer power status. It can intelligently power down the unit after the thunderbolt 
host shuts down everything for data integrity. ARC-8050T2 also supports a battery 
backup option that protects all data in cache memory in the event of unexpected 
power outage. Board-level hardware encryption manages any kinds of drives 
attached to ARC-8050T2 without impacting the performance for higher levels of 
security.
Thunderbolt ARC-8050T2 RAID Storage
Enabling an Easy-to-Manage Storage
Configuration and monitoring can be managed either through the LCD control panel, 
Thunderbolt interface or LAN port. The intelligent cooling continuously adapts to 
environmental conditions by automatically controlling the speed of the cooling fans 
for the rapidly growing demand from the video editing markets. You can even 
configure ARC-8050T2 to intelligently spin down drives during periods of inactivity to 
further reduce noise and save energy. Areca solution of Thunderbolt 2 provides user 
the capability of adding bootable drive via Thunderbolt on Apple thunderbolt-capable 
machine.
