• Mac: host with Thunderbolt
™
3 port running macOS 10.13 or later
• PC: host with Thunderbolt 3 port running Windows 10 or later
1.2 Package Contents
• OWC ThunderBlade V4
• 0.5m Thunderbolt 3 cable
• Power supply and cable
1.3 Getting Started
• To use the ThunderBlade V4, connect it to your computer via the included
Thunderbolt 3 cable. Device drivers are not required, however use of
SoftRAID XT (macOS only at the time of this writing) requires the SoftRAID
driver and application.
• The LED indicator on the front of the device (see Section 1.5) will glow blue
when the device is receiving power and is connected to an active host.
The LED will glow white when the device is connected to a host that is in
Sleep or hibernation mode, or when it has power but is not connected to a
host. This LED is also connected to a light sensor on the back of the device;
this enables the LED brightness to adjust automatically based on ambient
lighting conditions.
• The LED has four segments, one for each installed M.2 SSD. When
one or more of the SSDs are accessed for read/write operations, the
corresponding segments will blink blue.
• While it is possible to connect a DisplayPort 1.2 display to the spare
Thunderbolt 3 port on the device by using the appropriate cable or adapter,
HDMI and other types of displays require an active display adapter with a
USB-C host connection.
