High-Performance OWC 8TB Accelsior 4M2 PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD Adapter for Mac Pro and PC

OWC's commitment to delivering high-performance, highly reliable, and affordable storage solutions has remained steadfast since the company's first Solid State Drive (SSD) launch in 2010. Nearly a decade later, this winning formula continues to drive the development of leading-edge SSD technology, exemplified by the Accelsior 4M2.

The Accelsior 4M2 is engineered to address the uncompromising data-intensive, high-bandwidth needs of applications like large-format video editing, virtual/augmented/mixed reality environments, high-transactional and complex calculation workloads, and extreme gaming. Under its finned heat sink cover, the Accelsior 4M2 houses four Phison E12 M.2 NVMe SSDs with up to 16TB of storage capacity, utilizing Triple-Level Cell (TLC) 3D NAND with SLC caching and 7% over-provisioning.

This powerful combination of advanced components enables the Accelsior 4M2 to deliver over 6,000MB/s real-world read and write speeds, the fastest data rates ever delivered by an OWC SSD. The performance advantage is driven by the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) communication standard, which is designed to optimize the performance of modern flash technology, significantly outpacing the older SATA interface.

The Accelsior 4M2's versatility extends beyond its blistering speeds. As a half-length x8/x16 compatible card, it can be installed in the Mac Pro 2019, Mac Pro 2012 or 2010, or PC towers, providing the flexibility to match your specific system requirements. Users can also enjoy the Accelsior 4M2's performance-boosting benefits with Thunderbolt 3-equipped notebook computers, iMac workstations, or slot-filled gaming rigs, thanks to its plug-and-play compatibility with PCIe expansion chassis like the OWC Mercury Helios 3s.

The Accelsior 4M2's performance can be further enhanced by leveraging its PCIe switch design, which allows each M.2 NVMe drive to run at full x4 PCIe speeds instead of being limited to x2 PCIe speeds. For those with even greater storage and performance needs, two Accelsior 4M2 cards can be RAID'd together to unlock out-of-this-world capabilities.

To ensure maximum, steady performance, data protection, and plug-and-play simplicity, the Accelsior 4M2 includes SoftRAID Pro software. SoftRAID offers robust drive health monitoring, full TRIM support for external and PCIe slot NVMe drives, and easy-to-use customization tools to create the optimal RAID configuration for your specific application requirements.

With its unparalleled speed, massive storage capacity, versatile compatibility, and comprehensive software support, the Accelsior 4M2 is a game-changing storage solution that will transform the way you use and experience high-performance computing, whether it's for professional workflows, virtual/augmented reality, or extreme gaming.
