Areca ARC-8050T5U-8N 8-Bay Thunderbolt 5 & USB 3.2 Gen2 Hardware RAID Storage

The ARC-8050T5U series are equipped with dual Thunderbolt 5 ports for connecting to any Thunderbolt 5 enabled host and offers an additional Thunderbolt 5 port for daisy-chaining other peripherals, while also supplying power for quick notebook charging. The ARC-8050T5U also sports a full sized DisplayPort 2.1 MF video output on its rear, allowing for a quick and easy dual 6K display setup.

If an ARC-8050T5U is plugged in a USB-C computer port, a USB device controller inside the ARC-8050T5U-enabled system is activated, and the inside USB device controller drives USB 3.2 Gen 2 signals to the USB-C port. In this condition, the ARC-8050T5U Thunderbolt 5 port behaves exactly like a typical USB-C 3.2 Gen 2-enabled connector.

The existed Thunderbolt 5 port on the RAID storage does not support USB-C computer port compatibility mode. Areca newest ARC-8050T5U Thunderbolt 5 port supports both Thunderbolt 5 and USB protocol that allows USB-only computer user and Thunderbolt computer user to access same storage seamlessly.
