ACASIS, a high‑performance Thunderbolt storage maker, will kick off a Kickstarter campaign on May 15, 2026, unveiling its FlowCore series. The lineup pitches 80 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth per M.2 NVMe bay, a first for multi‑bay systems. Designed for AI developers, LLM operators and 8K video pros, the drives promise near‑full speed even when all bays are active.

Traditional multi‑bay arrays share bandwidth, throttling performance as drives multiply. FlowCore breaks that rule with an independent, full‑speed architecture that delivers sustained reads and writes over 6,000 MB/s per drive in lab tests. Those numbers support local AI model loading, 70B‑parameter inference, dataset preprocessing, and multi‑stream 8K RAW editing without bottlenecks.

The TB504 Pro, the flagship 10‑bay model, can hold up to 80 TB of storage and ships with dual 8K @ 60 Hz outputs, making it a turnkey workstation for video editors and AI researchers. A fanless, CNC‑machined aluminium chassis keeps temperatures low, while passive fins enable silent operation—critical in studio environments.

ACASIS plans to offer software RAID configurations—RAID 0 for peak speed, RAID 1 for redundancy, and RAID 10 for balanced performance—allowing users to tailor speed and protection to their workflow. With a Kickstarter launch, backers can secure early access, but the campaign’s risk profile reminds buyers that unproven hardware may not reach full production.
