Featuring a 10 Gb/s compatible USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection, this high-speed desktop storage system features two 4TB 7200 rpm enterprise-class 3.5" SATA drives, providing 8TB of raw storage capacity for your 4K videos, high-resolution raw photos, and other important files.

Windows users must reformat the drives before use.

NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices run 24/7, making power consumption a steady, though low, cost. The real ongoing expense is replacing hard drives as they fail or filling empty bays to expand storage.
