This thing blew my mind. I moved about 250 GB of media onto this from my 2019 iMac and it took less than 10 minutes. My only complaint/concern is regarding the cord. Because it’s built in, I wonder what the mileage will be and if it will come apart. The cord is also a little shorter than what I would prefer.

Got this to compliment my M1 Mac Mini’s internal storage. Super fast, like the built-in storage.

Compact, well made (solid), low profile and unobtrusive. Having a 4TB drive is this form factor is incredible. And it’s fast, as you can see from the Blackmagic screenshot. I highly recommend this drive.

I replaced my 16TB OWC RAID with this. Yes I had to of course archive a lot to get my projects onto something half the size, but I find myself needing the speed and portability these days. Lugging the RAID around, and cords, and then needing power . . . I decided it was time to move to SSD all around. This one is the best price for the capacity, bus powered, small and sleek. It get’s extremely hot at times. If I could have one wish I’d like them to add a port to it. None of the Thunderbolt 3 gear have two ports 🙁

I love this product, except the cable is attached and very short.

In general I am very happy with it, but I noticed, when using a mac book pro, and I have plug in an extension through 2 usb c, that provides 2 hdmi etc… it sometimes disconnects the drive This is really annoying I have another extension that uses only one port USB c and has only one hdmi output, and this one works fine so I am not sure it it is the problem of OWC or that particular extension Anyway, once you receive the product be sure to test it with the different configuration you may want to use it, and ensure it works without disconnecting after a minute or so

OWC always delivers for speed and simplicity. Perfect for editing 4K footage on the new Mac Mini M1 in FCPX. Blazing fast over Thunderbolt 3.

I recently replaced my iMac with a new one with a 512 SSD. To augment accessible storage of photos I added this OWC drive. I can open stored psd files in Photoshop immediately – no lag time – and save to the OWC drive.
