settings
One USB 3.0 port support
ARC-5028T2 features two cutting-edge interfaces, Thunderbolt 2 and SuperSpeed 
USB 3.0. 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-5028T2 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-5028T2 for massive amounts of video storage with a 
single Thunderbolt connection to their host computer. ARC-5028T2 can meet the 
demand of users when working with rich, ultra-high resolution media through 
Thunderbolt 2 interface. The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface offers high-performance 
connectivity and is backward compatibility with any computer running compatible 
versions of Mac OS X (such as Mac Pro) or Windows.

Unleash Your Creativity Faster Than Ever
Unparalleled Performance for 4K Workflow
Enterprise-class Data Availability and Security
ARC-5028T2 is a 6-bay 6Gb/s SAS/SATA Thunderbolt 2/USB 3.0 storage with RAID 
control capabilities solution for Mac and PC environment. ARC-5028T2 incorporated 
high performance ROC and 1GB DDR3 memory with ECC protection to deliver true 
hardware RAID 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-5028T2 and doing a simultaneous 4K output 
and file transfers while maintaining maximum throughput.
ARC-5028T2 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 the 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-5028T2 also supports a battery backup option that 
protects all data in cache memory in the event of unexpected power outage. 
ARC-5028T2 supports USB 3.0 interface that allows old Mac Pro user and newest Mac 
Pro model to access same storage seamlessly.

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-5028T2 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.
