Unleash 80Gbps: The Ultimate Thunderbolt 5 4-Bay U.2 SSD Enclosure
Meet the WERO Thunderbolt 5 4-Bay U.2 SSD Enclosure (CUBE Series) — a professional-grade external storage solution built for creators, engineers, and power users who demand uncompromising speed. With Thunderbolt 5 connectivity delivering up to 80Gbps, four hot-swappable U.2/U.3 NVMe SSD bays, and intelligent active cooling, this enclosure turns your workstation into a high-performance storage powerhouse. Whether you're editing 8K video, managing massive photo libraries, or running data-intensive applications, the CUBE Series keeps your workflow moving at full throttle.
Built for Professional Workflows
8K & 4K Video Editing
Color grading 8K RAW footage or layering multiple 4K streams requires storage that can keep up. The CUBE Series delivers sequential read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s on Mac and 6,155 MB/s on Windows over Thunderbolt 5, ensuring smooth playback and real-time effects rendering without dropped frames or buffer waits. Connect it to your MacBook Pro or Windows workstation and edit directly from the enclosure — no more copying files to internal drives first.
Photography & Large RAW Workflows
Professional photographers shooting medium-format or high-resolution mirrorless cameras know that RAW files grow fast. With support for four U.2 SSDs and single-drive capacities up to 245TB and beyond, the CUBE Series gives you the space to keep your entire catalog online and instantly accessible. Import, cull, and edit massive photo sessions in Lightroom or Capture One without the lag of slower external drives.
Music Production & Audio Engineering
Running large sample libraries, virtual instruments, and multi-track recording sessions demands low-latency, high-bandwidth storage. The CUBE Series connects via Thunderbolt 5 to provide the throughput needed for massive Kontakt libraries, Pro Tools sessions, and real-time audio processing. Keep your entire sound library external and load projects in seconds.
Data Backup & Archiving
Creative professionals and IT administrators alike need reliable, high-capacity backup targets. The four-bay design lets you dedicate drives to working files, backups, and archives — all in a single compact enclosure. With PCIe 5.0/4.0/3.0 backward compatibility, you can mix and match U.2 SSDs from different generations as your needs evolve.
On-Set & Location Production
Weighing in at 2.4kg with a compact 133 × 133 × 138mm footprint, the CUBE Series is portable enough for on-set data management and DIT (Digital Imaging Technician) workflows. Offload camera cards at maximum speed and back up to multiple SSDs simultaneously, all from a single Thunderbolt 5 connection.
Performance That Speaks for Itself
At the heart of the CUBE Series is the Intel JHL9480-B2 controller paired with a PCIe 4.0 x4 HUB, delivering rock-solid Thunderbolt 5 performance. The enclosure is fully backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 hosts, so you can use it with your existing equipment and upgrade your connection speed as you refresh your workstation.
| Connection | Mac (Max Read) | Windows (Max Read) |
|---|---|---|
| Thunderbolt 5 (80Gbps) | Up to 7,000 MB/s | Up to 6,155 MB/s |
| Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps) | Up to 3,800 MB/s | Up to 3,800 MB/s |
| Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) | Up to 2,800 MB/s | — |
Intelligent Active Cooling
Four high-performance NVMe SSDs generate serious heat under load. The CUBE Series features a three-zone temperature-controlled cooling system with a premium Noctua A9014 fan plus two 3007 auxiliary fans, each managing its own thermal zone. The smart fan curve keeps noise to a minimum: fans stay completely silent below 45°C, ramp up gradually as temperatures rise, and only reach full speed above 60°C. A 5–10 second power-on self-test confirms all fans are operational. Your drives stay cool, your workspace stays quiet.
Connectivity & Expandability
The CUBE Series doesn't just connect to your computer — it extends your workstation. The Thunderbolt 5 upstream port supports 15W PD reverse charging for connected laptops. The full-featured Thunderbolt 5 downstream port lets you daisy-chain additional enclosures, docking stations, monitors, and more — also with 15W PD charging. One cable from your Mac or PC unlocks a complete storage and connectivity hub.
