The Symply SPARK 8‑Bay – 192TB is a direct‑attached Thunderbolt 3 RAID designed for content creators who need a blend of high capacity, reliability and straightforward operation.
Built for post‑production, on‑set DIT work and studio editing, the unit pairs enterprise-class drives, hot‑swap serviceability and Thunderbolt connectivity to keep media workflows moving.
The SPARK 8‑Bay is specified with a speed of 900-1300MB/s for the 8‑Bay model, delivering sustained throughput suitable for multi‑stream video editing and large file ingest over Thunderbolt 3.
This SKU ships with 192TB of usable enclosure capacity and uses enterprise‑class hard drives to provide consistent, reliable performance for large media projects.
Two Thunderbolt 3 ports offer highest throughput, daisy‑chaining and device charging. A premium 2m (6.5ft) Active Thunderbolt 3 cable is included, together with a SymplyLOCK cable locking accessory.
Drives are hot‑swappable via locking caddies; the design also allows fast replacement of fans and power supplies. An optional SymplySAM (self‑assisted maintenance) kit enables on‑site repairs to minimise downtime.
The enclosure supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD, and is marketed with fast, reliable RAID 5/6 protection to reduce the risk of content loss while keeping performance acceptable for production tasks.
The SPARK 8‑Bay uses a high‑quality metal alloy chassis with a carry handle and an HDD tray locking pin. It operates at < 40dB for quiet desktop or studio environments and includes a Studio Mode LED blackout feature.
For transport and rack use, an optional impact‑resistant wheeled transport case and an optional 4RU rackmount kit (8 Bay only) are available to convert the desktop unit into a rack‑mounted solution.
