The box has seven Western Digital HDDs and one HGST drive.

See the 8050 here along with a screen grab of the speed test: https://www.dropbox.com/home/Areca8050

Additional specs: 1GB of on-board DDR3-1333 SDRAM with ECC protection. Hardware RAID.

Areca 8050 with same specs just sold on Ebay for $460 plus shipping: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Areca-8050-32TB-8-x-4TB-Thunderbolt-RAID-/153450566030

Has been a great RAID box for my working drive & my archive of projects from the past few years. Extremely reliable. Selling because I upgraded to T3 setup.
