Up To 3836MB/s USB4 Performance

OWC specifies Express 1M2 real-world performance of up to 3836MB/s on suitable USB4 40Gb/s and Thunderbolt 4 PC hosts. Actual throughput varies with host platform, workload and connection type.

Broad USB4 And Thunderbolt Compatibility

The Express 1M2 works with USB4, Thunderbolt and supported USB-C computers and devices. Connection speed automatically adapts to the capabilities of the attached host.

Passive Aluminium Thermal Management

The solid aluminium enclosure forms part of the cooling system, dissipating heat from the installed NVMe SSD without a fan and helping maintain consistent performance during sustained transfers.

Power and data are supplied through the USB-C connection, so no external power adapter is required. OWC includes a 0.3m USB-C 40Gb/s cable.

High-Capacity Professional Storage

With 8TB of installed NVMe storage, high throughput and silent operation, the Express 1M2 is well suited to high-resolution video editing, DIT media offloads, large photo libraries, scratch storage, backups and other data-intensive workflows.
