This product does include the drives. It would be 4x 10TB drives. **Q: what is the usuable capacity of the 16tb system in a raid 5 configuration?** A: RAID 5 takes one drive for redundancy. Since you're asking about the 16TB (4 x 4TB) system, you will lose 4TB (one drive) of storage to redundancy, leaving you with 12TB of useable storage. **Q: Will this work with m1 mac?** A: Hello. Yes the ThunderBay will work on a M1 Mac. The version of SoftRAID that this comes with does not work, so you will need to install the beta version of SoftRAID. **Q: Assume no raid. if i install an independent drive from another drive enclosure, does it need to be reformatted to be used in the thunderbay 4?** A: Hello. The OWC ThunderBay does not have a RAID controller and uses Software to create raids. That being said you would be able to take an independent drive and installing into the ThunderBay 4 without needing to reformat the drive. ## Frequently Bought Together - OWC ThunderBay 4 RAID 5 with Dual Thunderbolt 3 Ports (0GB RAID), Includes SoftRAID XT - OWC Thunderbolt 4 Cable, Thunderbolt Certified, 2.0 Meter (6.56 ft.), 40 Gb/s Data Transfer, 100W Power Charging, Compatible with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, and USB4 Devices, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/100098406-owc-thunderbay-4-0-tb-four-bay-thunderbolt-external-storage](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/100098406-owc-thunderbay-4-0-tb-four-bay-thunderbolt-external-storage) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
