About this product
The OWC 8TB ThunderBlade Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array is an external NVMe SSD solution configured with four 2TB drives for an 8TB total capacity. It supports RAID 0, 1, and 5 configurations, offering flexibility for speed or data redundancy. This black unit connects via Thunderbolt 3 and M.2/NVMe interfaces, ensuring high performance for both Mac and PC users.
Our take
For users needing both speed and flexible data management, the OWC 8TB ThunderBlade Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array is a solid contender. With its four 2TB NVMe SSDs, you get 8TB of storage and the ability to choose between RAID 0 for maximum speed, RAID 1 for mirroring, or RAID 5 for a balance of performance and redundancy. The Thunderbolt 3 interface ensures fast connectivity with both Mac and PC systems. While it's an excellent performer, the individual 2TB drive size means if you need larger individual drive partitions, you're constrained by the RAID configuration rather than a single large volume.
