How to use

If using Thunderbolt 3, daisy-chain additional Thunderbolt devices through the second port as needed. Choose or verify the desired RAID level using the drive’s hardware RAID controls or accompanying software/manual before transferring data. Ensure the removable Ultrastar drives are securely seated and perform an initial format or volume configuration compatible with your operating system and editing software.

Recommendations

For optimal performance with multi-stream 4K/8K editing, use Thunderbolt 3 connectivity and select a RAID level that balances speed and redundancy (RAID 5 or RAID 6). Keep spare Ultrastar drives available for rapid replacement and maintain regular backups of critical footage to an additional storage tier.
