OWC Accelsior 4M2 kontroler 4x NVMe PCIe 3.0
OWC Accelsior 4M2 is a 4x NVMe disk controller on a PCIe 3.0 card. Allows you to expand your Mac Pro, PC (directly in the computer case) or Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, MacBook AIR or other laptop with a Thunderbolt port (via an external PCIe to Thunderbolt case).
- Work faster: over 6000MB/s real speed in RAID 0
- Store more: Up to 32TB of your most important videos, photos, files and games
- Bootable: up and running in seconds
- Powered by PCIe slot: no additional power cables needed
- Includes SoftRAID: advanced software for creating, monitoring and managing advanced RAID sets
- Deployment Ready: Pre-configured solutions undergo performance verification
- Great versatility: can be installed in a full-height, half-length PCIe 3.0 or 2.0 (x8 or x16) slot
- Plug and Play: no additional drivers required
High performance + high reliability + affordable price = OWC Accelsior
The OWC Accelsior 4M2 is the ideal solution for uncompromising data-intensive, high-bandwidth needs such as large-format video editing, virtual reality/augmented reality/mixed reality environments, highly transactional and complex computing applications, and extreme gaming.
Under the cover of the finned heatsink, which ensures quiet cooling without a fan, there is space for four M.2 NVMe SSDs with a capacity of up to 32 TB.
NVMe performance advantage
Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) is a communications standard created specifically to optimize the performance of modern flash technology. It enables SSDs to operate much faster than SSDs using the SATA interface, a communication protocol that was originally designed for hard drives. Thanks to NVMe SSD drives, OWC Accelsior 4M2 delivers extreme data transfer speeds that will change the way you work and play.
Great versatility thanks to great possibilities
Whether you have a Mac Pro 2019, Mac Pro 2012 or 2010, or a tower PC, the OWC Accelsior 4M2 can work for you. As a half-length PCIe 3.0 and 2.0 x8/x16 slot compatible card, the OWC Accelsior 4M2 offers the versatility you need to not be tied to one slot size or limited by a space-constrained PC case.
Another advantage of OWC Accelsior 4M2 is that the increased performance can also be used on a notebook equipped with a Thunderbolt connector, an iMac workstation, Mac mini or other computer with a Thunderbolt connector. Plug and play with a PCIe expansion enclosure such as the OWC Mercury Helios 3s (sold separately). Helios 3S lets OWC Accelsior 4M2 flow with your workflow, offering up to 2500MB/s of real-world read/write performance in the field on your notebook. Back in the office, the choice is yours... keep Accelsior 4M2 in Helios 3S or install it in Mac Pro 2019 to enjoy its blazing 6,000 MB/s speeds.
More lines = more bandwidth
The OWC Accelsior 4M2 is designed with a PCIe controller that allows the computer to address each of its M.2 NVMe drives at full x4 PCIe speeds, rather than hard-limiting each drive to x2 PCIe speeds. When running in a JBOD system, where you typically cannot access all four drives at the same time, each drive has the ability to run at full speed.
Includes SoftRAID: Easy and complete disk management
Now you can maximize your storage space, get the fastest access speeds, and protect against disk failure with Plug and Play simplicity. SoftRAID's easy setup makes it easy to create RAID volumes, helping you throughout the process. You just need to decide what the RAID volume will be used for and how much space should be allocated to it. It's that simple to create your preferences for speed and/or redundancy attributes of your data volume.
OWC cases come with the XT version of SoftRAID. SoftRAID XT and Lite XT are full-featured and designed exclusively to work with OWC solutions.
