I'm looking for a dependable piece of Thunderbolt 3 hardware to connect additional ssd drives to my new iMac (10.12.6). I bought an Akitio Thunder 3 Quad Mini but I think it may be defective or the computer isn't seeing it for some reason.
Anyway... something that would house 4 ssd drives would work for me.
Anyone using anything that works well?

I use an OWC Thunderbay with my imac. it's thunderbolt 2 and holds four 3.5" drives. I think they have an SSD version. not sure if it's Thunderbolt 3 tho.

I looked at those but I think all the OWC stuff is TB2. I contacted Akitio support and from what they told me it sounds like I got a defective unit. I sent it back and a replacement is on the way. Maybe I'll have better luck with that one. There don't seem to be any better alternatives out there. |
