Using the D8 Hybrid as a storage expansion device for Windows, Mac, or Linux computers is a great choice, especially considering its support for large-capacity HDDs up to 24 TB and 8 TB NVMe M.2 SSDs, with a total capacity potentially reaching 128 TB. The D8 Hybrid supports various file system formats including NTFS, APFS, EXT4, FAT32, and exFAT. Its support for the exFAT file system, which can handle large files, allows hard drives formatted with the exFAT file system on the D8 Hybrid to be read and written across devices running different operating systems such as Windows, Mac, and NAS, providing a convenient cross-platform solution for large file transfers.
Supports Multiple RAID Types for Data Security
This creates an ultra-large-capacity storage space with a RAID data protection mechanism for computers. The D8 Hybrid supports four hardware adjustment modes: SINGLE, JBOD, RAID 0, and RAID 1.
Expand the Capacity of Your NAS
The D8 Hybrid is an ideal choice for expanding the NAS capacity of a home or small office. Simply connect the D8 Hybrid to the USB port of your NAS device, and you can easily expand the NAS storage space.
You can even use the D8 Hybrid as an external DAS storage device for TerraMaster NAS. Both TOS 5 and the latest TOS 6 systems support creating new volumes using the four HDDs and four M.2 SSDs of the D8 Hybrid, and utilizing the full range of TerraMaster NAS storage features, such as setting up storage pools, various RAID modes, and enabling snapshots.
