What about purchasing either a Thunderbay or a Mercury Elite Quad Pro from OWC, or equivalent enclosure?

I prefer Thunderbolt to USB, USB has limited performance, even USB 3.1 gen2, compared to Thunderbolt, so TB is worth the the extra money.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have a 2009 Mac Pro and am considering replacing it with an iMac pro.

I am a video editor running Premiere Pro CC and After Effects and so need a fast volume for render files and a large fast volume for media.

I am considering an OWC Thunderbay 4 for media.

From the old Mac I will have three 512Gb Samsung 850 pro/evo SSD's

Can I put each one in a USB 3 docking station and connect each to a USB 3 in the iMac and use SoftRaid to create a RAID 0?

If it is possible, what speed should I expect?

Or, if this is bonkers.......what direction should I take?

Regards
