Rocstor Rocpro U35 Usb Type C Desktop Raid Storage 64Tb 4X16Tb 72K

Meet the ROCPRO U35, a 4-bay USB Type-C desktop RAID storage solution engineered for professionals who need massive capacity, rock-solid data protection, and fast transfers. With a total of 64TB capacity across four 16TB drives, this compact enclosure delivers enterprise-grade reliability in a versatile desktop form factor. Perfect for high-resolution video editing, massive backups, and multi-workstation workflows, the ROCPRO U35 pairs USB-C connectivity with rugged build quality to keep projects moving in studios, edit suites, and on the go.

• Maximize capacity with a scalable 4-bay design. The ROCPRO U35 supports four drives, enabling you to reach up to 64TB of raw storage. Its flexible drive architecture lets you configure the storage to match your workload, whether you need maximum capacity for archiving or a balance of speed and redundancy for active projects. With four bays, you can implement multi-drive redundancy and create a tiered workflow that keeps large files accessible and secure without interruption.
• USB Type-C 3.2 Gen1 for fast, universal connectivity. The USB-C Gen1 interface delivers solid data transfer rates across modern USB-C hosts, accelerating large file transfers, on-set back-ups, and media workflows. Its broad compatibility ensures seamless pairing with laptops, desktops, and workstations that feature USB-C ports, making it an ideal companion for both on-the-go editing sessions and fixed studio setups.
• Flexible RAID levels for performance and protection. Choose from 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 or JBOD to tailor the ROCPRO U35 to your workload. Striping (RAID 0) delivers speed for fast renders, mirroring (RAID 1) provides redundancy for critical data, and distributed parity (RAID 5/6) offers a balance of capacity and protection. RAID 10 combines performance and redundancy for demanding projects, while JBOD presents raw direct-attached storage without parity or mirroring. The U35 adapts as your projects evolve, ensuring you always have the right balance of performance, capacity, and protection.
• Reliable, rugged design built for demanding environments. Rocstor’s USB RAID lineage emphasizes durability and steady performance under pressure. The U35 is engineered to handle long editing sessions, continuous backups, and heavy media streaming in busy studios, data-center edges, or local offices. Expect consistent read/write behavior, stable RAID operation, and a dependable storage backbone you can trust for critical projects—day in and day out.
• Cross-platform compatibility with easy expansion. Designed to work seamlessly with Windows and macOS via USB, the ROCPRO U35 streamlines your workflow without software juggling. Drive bays support hot-swapping in many configurations, enabling quick maintenance and expansion without downtime. This makes it easy to scale storage as your library grows or to rapidly deploy multiple workstations with the same high-performance storage backbone.
