OWC ThunderBlade X8 M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 Up to 32TB Thunderbolt 3 Portable RAID Storage

Other World Computing (OWC) announced a new model of ThunderBlade, redefining the fastest shuttle and edit RAID SSD for creative professionals.

Already considered the best production drive, the ThunderBlade X8 propels performance to new heights with up to 2,949MB/s real-world speed and up to 16% higher capacity and efficiency in RAID-5. ThunderBlade continues to set the bar for what is possible in the realm of production drives, enabling users to handle data-intensive tasks and elevate their creative output to new levels.

Purposeful Design
Constructed for fast-paced environments where time is money, ThunderBlade ensures your projects outpace your deadlines. It navigates through uncompressed, high-bandwidth content streams, delivering speed and reliability. Designed for mobility and featuring an integrated fin-designed cooling system, it is at home on set, in the edit suite, or traveling comfortably between shoots in its ballistic hard-shell case.

The quality and performance do not end with cutting-edge hardware. Before a ThunderBlade is delivered, it undergoes multi-hour ‘burn-in’ performance certification to ensure it arrives in pristine condition and is ready to begin work immediately.

“OWC set a new standard for external drive capabilities with the original ThunderBlade, with groundbreaking speeds, reliability, and rugged transportability,” said Larry O’Connor, founder and CEO. “The latest ThunderBlade builds upon this legacy, enhancing performance, total usable storage, and even ruggedness further empowering creative professionals to accomplish more with rock solid data protection.”

ThunderBlade is available in 8, 16, or 32TB capacities. Pre-order at macsales.com starting at $1,749.99.
