Your Preparedness Is Our Passion

Paying attention to seemingly insignificant details that prepare you to work uninterrupted is our passion. Besides keeping ThunderBlade X12 securely in place, the non-skid rubber feet elevate the heat dissipating aluminum housing to prevent thermal throttling. The power cord locking connector keeps you up and running in active workspaces. OWC ClingOn custom cable stabilizers (available separately) screw into ThunderBlade X12 to stabilize your Thunderbolt cable connections.

Like all OWC storage products, ThunderBlade X12 underwent rigorous development testing processes, including intensive mandatory Thunderbolt certification. Because we understand having confidence in your gear’s reliability is paramount, every ThunderBlade X12 undergoes our rigorous multi-hour "burn-in" performance certification prior to shipping with a Thunderbolt connecting cable. This ensures your ThunderBlade X12 arrives operating properly and immediately ready for demanding use.
