The Fortis 5C 150TB 5-Bay USB 3.2 Gen 2 RAID Array is designed to meet the needs of power users with large storage requirements. This Fortis 5C features a storage capacity of 150TB, configured as five 30TB Enterprise HDDs that are preformatted exFAT, which is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. Also featured is all-aluminum construction, a silicone rubber sleeve, a molded handle, and locking trays that allow for on-the-go protection. Airflow is maximized by a 3000 rpm exhaust fan to keep heat away from the internal drives and may be configured for 24/7 operation or intelligent cooling, which activates the fan only when the internal temperature reaches 95°F.
