You could definitely use it to play your 4K high-resolution films with no any lagging hassle.  TB2 interface not only brings you this high data transfer rate advantage, it also let you chain maximum up to 6 products (or other compatible storage products).

Faster data transfer speed

RAID 0 mode to help an efficiency

 

SR4-TB2 provides RAID 0 mode, and pluses its Thunderbolt 2.0 interface protocol, it really gives you an excellent data transfer performance up to 1300MB/s.  It helps your work smoothly on heavy duty video or photos editing works in your Post-production studio.

RAID 5 mode provides highest data parity function ensure your data security

 

RAID 5 mode provides both of the read-&-write efficiency and the data protection features for your daily works.  Under RAID 5 mode, SR4-TB2 would need at least 3 or more HDDs to start working.  And if anyone of your HDDs is defect, your SR4-TB2 would still work fine for you, but just with no more data protection feature.  Comparing to RAID 0 and RAID 1 modes, it's no doubt that RAID 5 is your best choice.

MCU feature to provide you in-chassis temperature control

 

SR4-TB2 is also designed with the MCU feature which monitors and helps improving its in-chassis system temperature.  While the system temperature rises up to 50 degree-C (118 degree-F), MCU will bump up the 8 cm fans with full speed; and once system temperature goes down to 45 degree-C (109 degree-F), you could manually adjust fan switch on the rear, MCU would reduce the fan speed down to a half speed for a better green user environment from a less fan noise and lower power consumption.

 

 

 

 

The built-in power supply unit

 

SR4-TB2 uses conform with safety regulation certified 200W power supply unit which provides a stable and high efficient power output and definitely satisfies the big power consumption from all 4 HDDs.

 

 

 

Rigid mechanical structure with two 8 cm quiet fans to get rid of the heat efficiently

 

SR4-TB2 is designed with a rigid mechanical structure and covered by a high finishing quality aluminum chassis.  It's also designed with 8 cm large quiet fans to help getting rid of heat efficiently!
