Features

Modern and Compact Design
The D16 Thunderbolt 3 has a compact space-saving tower design that fits any modern workspace. It comes fitted with two durable aluminium handles for easy transport.

Lightning-Fast Storage for Professional Creators
The TerraMaster D6 Thunderbolt 3 is designed for professional content creators. Equipped with a pair of Thunderbolt 3 40 Gbps ports and a professional-grade RAID controller, the D16 Thunderbolt 3 delivers speeds of up to 2817 MB/s when fitted with 16 SSDs in RAID 0 array mode on Windows OS. In RAID 6 mode, the storage device can deliver speeds of up to 2480 MB/s. It is perfect for demanding creators with heavy workloads.

Large-Capacity Storage with High Scalability
TerraMaster’s 16-bay D16 Thunderbolt 3 is compatible with 3.5″ SATA disks and 2.5″ SSDs and offers a total storage capacity of up to 288 TB (16x 18 TB HDDs). Storage expansion is also easy using Thunderbolt 3 scalability. Users can expand up to 1 Petabyte of storage by daisy-chaining six D16 Thunderbolt 3 devices.

Professional-Grade RAID Options
The TerraMaster D16 Thunderbolt 3 is a professional-grade RAID storage that supports multiple RAID modes.

Rapid Video Editing Workflows
The time needed for virtually every aspect of the post-production workflow falls when using the D16 Thunderbolt 3. At lightning speed, users can transfer several hours of footage from a Blackmagic device to Adobe Premiere Pro. In turn, with uncompressed HD 10-bit and 12-bit video, users can edit the ProRes 422 (HQ), ProRes 4444 XQ, and other data streams. Thumbnails and preview rendering are significantly more responsive when using large items with numerous high-definition clips.
