SymplySPARK 8-Bay – 144TB – Product Overview
The SymplySPARK 8-Bay – 144TB is a direct-attached Thunderbolt 3 RAID enclosure engineered for content-creation workflows that need large capacity, predictable performance and fast, serviceable hardware.
Built from high-quality metal alloys and populated with enterprise-class drives, this 8-bay system provides desktop-quiet operation, hot-swap drive trays and field-serviceable power and cooling to keep projects moving in studio or on set.
Designed For Media Workflows
SPARK is configured for post-production, VFX, on-set DIT and in-house creative teams that require sustained throughput and low latency while working with large media files.
Performance
The 8-bay SPARK offers real-world throughput in the range of 900-1300MB/s and presents high-capacity storage without forcing a move to more expensive SSD-only solutions.

Hot-swap drive caddies, user-serviceable HDD, PSU and fan design, and the optional SymplySAM self-assisted maintenance kit enable fast on-site repairs and reduce downtime.

Two Thunderbolt 3 ports provide the highest throughput available on the platform, support daisy-chaining and deliver device charging. A premium 2m (6.5ft) Active Thunderbolt 3 cable is included in the box.
Security & Transport
Drive trays use a locking pin design and the unit includes a Kensington lock point; an optional impact-resistant wheeled transport case is available for safe transit.
Rack Mounting
An optional 4RU SPARK Rack Kit for the 8-bay turns the desktop enclosure into a rack-mounted solution quickly, with extendable rails to accommodate different rack depths.
