Symply SPARK 8-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID
Eight-bay desktop hardware RAID with enterprise HDDs, dual Thunderbolt 3 and a carry handle. Current builds: 80TB, 128TB, 144TB and 192TB, with or without a NANUK case. 240TB supply is delayed until late 2026/Q1 2027; contact us for a confirmed delivery date. The 112TB model is end of life.
Keep large media projects close to your workstation with the Symply SPARK 8-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID. Eight enterprise hard drives and a dedicated hardware RAID controller provide direct-attached storage for editing, post-production, VFX and on-set workflows. Choose 80TB, 128TB, 144TB, 192TB or 240TB of combined raw drive capacity.
Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports connect to a compatible Mac or Windows workstation and support daisy-chaining compatible devices. The compact desktop chassis includes an integrated carry handle, hot-swappable drive trays and quiet cooling, making it practical to move between a studio and location.
Hardware RAID supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD. Usable capacity depends on your RAID configuration and formatting. RAID protection is not a substitute for a separate backup.
Built for production workflows
Drive trays, cooling fans and the power supply are serviceable, helping reduce downtime. An optional SymplySAM maintenance kit provides replacement components for field servicing. The optional 4RU rack kit offers a route from desktop use to a compatible rack installation.
Select Without NANUK case for the standard package or With NANUK case for the bundled transport case. The enclosure carry handle is included with both. The rack kit and SymplySAM maintenance kit are separate accessories. A five-year manufacturer warranty supports long-term ownership.
