• Excellent build quality – runs quiet and cool
• Tons of internal storage (4TB across four drives!)
• Native support for FireWire 800/400 – great for audio/video professionals with legacy gear
• Ideal for file storage, music production, light editing, or general office use
• Still capable of running older apps and software that newer Macs no longer support
I used this with my old film scanner and my old Digital Video cameras (these devices couldn't connect to the latest Macs).
