The D8 Hybrid USB Storage: Industry's First Hybrid Direct-Attached Disk Array The D8 Hybrid is a revolutionary storage solution that combines the vast capacity of HDDs and the high-speed performance of SSDs. This innovative 8-bay enclosure supports up to 4 SATA HDDs/SSDs and 4 M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs, providing users with up to 128TB of total storage (24TB per HDD/SSD and 8TB per M.2 SSD).

Exclusive 2+6 RAID Array Mode The D8 Hybrid features TERRAMASTER's exclusive 2+6 RAID array mode. The two SATA HDDs/SSDs in bays 1 and 2 can be configured in RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, or as individual disks, while the two SATA drives in bays 3 and 4, along with the three NVMe M.2 SSD slots, can be used as individual disks for diverse cold and hot data storage needs.

Exceptional 10Gbps Data Transmission Equipped with the USB 3.2 Gen2 protocol, the D8 Hybrid delivers outstanding data transfer rates of up to 10Gbps. When using M.2 NVMe SSDs, read speeds can reach up to 980MB/s, while SATA SSDs can achieve up to 960MB/s (tested with dedicated NAS SSDs in RAID 0). Even with HDDs, the enclosure maintains impressive speeds of up to 521MB/s (tested with dedicated NAS HDDs in RAID 0).

Automated Backup with TPC Backupper TERRAMASTER's complimentary TPC Backupper software simplifies Windows PC backups. Users can easily schedule folder or disk partition backups to the D8 Hybrid storage or TERRAMASTER NAS servers, with support for both incremental and differential backup strategies, compatible with Windows 8/8.1/10/11.

Effortless Disk Replacement and M.2 SSD Installation The D8 Hybrid features a tool-free tray design, allowing for easy hard disk replacement without the need for additional tools. Its Push-Lock design securely locks the disks in place, preventing disconnection or offline issues. For M.2 SSDs, the enclosure has a convenient side sliding cover and hand-tightened screws, enabling quick SSD installation in just 5 seconds.

Quiet Operation The D8 Hybrid is a super quiet HDD USB enclosure. It incorporates additional shock-absorbing measures and numerous sound-absorbing panels in its new structure, reducing noise levels by 50% compared to the previous generation, with a standby mode noise level of only 21dB(A).

In summary, the TERRAMASTER D8 Hybrid is the industry's first hybrid direct-attached disk array, seamlessly blending the vast capacity of HDDs and the high-speed performance of SSDs. With its exclusive 2+6 RAID mode, 10Gbps data transmission, automated backup solution, tool-free design, and quiet operation, the D8 Hybrid offers a comprehensive and innovative storage solution for a wide range of users.
