Edit 8K Footage Straight Off the Drive, No Copying First
The OWC Express 1M2 80G 4TB delivers over 6000 MB/s of real-world speed across a single USB4 cable, fast enough to run 8K timelines, huge photo libraries, and AI datasets directly from the drive instead of waiting on a copy. It bus-powers from that one cable, cools itself passively, and shrugs off water and rough handling. Browse more OWC gear or compare other solid state drives.
