The unit includes dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, hot‑swap drive trays and a premium 2m active Thunderbolt 3 cable with SymplyLOCK.

The Symply SPARK 8‑Bay (112TB) is a direct‑attached Thunderbolt 3 RAID enclosure built for creative professionals who need capacity, reliability and straightforward serviceability. It combines an all‑metal compact design with hot‑swappable drives and dual Thunderbolt 3 connectivity to keep editors, DITs and post teams working without interruption.
Configured as an 8‑bay system with a 112TB capacity option, this SKU is designed for high‑capacity media workflows where long projects, multi‑camera shoots and large VFX assets demand large, readily accessible storage.
The chassis is constructed from high‑quality metal alloys for a compact, rugged desktop form factor, and includes a carry handle for easier transport. Drive trays use locking pins and thumbscrews to secure drives during use and transit.
The SPARK 8‑Bay product line targets sustained media throughput in demanding workflows; the 8‑bay configuration is specified in the manufacturer materials with a performance band for the model family of 900-1300MB/s.
This SKU is offered with 112TB total capacity in the 8‑bay enclosure and uses enterprise‑class hard drives to deliver predictable performance and capacity for large projects.
Hot‑swap drive caddies plus user‑serviceable PSU and fan enable rapid onsite repairs and maintenance, and the optional SymplySAM kit provides guided self‑service for quicker recovery.
Two Thunderbolt 3 ports with device charging provide high throughput and daisy‑chain capability; a premium 2m active Thunderbolt 3 cable is included in the box along with the SymplyLOCK cable locking accessory.
An optional 4RU SPARK Rack Kit is available to convert the desktop unit to a rack mount in under five minutes with extendable rails to accommodate various rack depths, and an optional wheeled transport case protects the unit in transit.
The enclosure runs quietly (< 40dB) and includes a Studio Mode LED blackout to minimise light on set, making it suitable for desktop and studio environments.
Symply provides a 5‑year warranty for the SPARK range and free lifetime online support from trained media professionals to assist with setup and maintenance.
