OWC Express 4M2 (0 TB) Four-Slot M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure with SoftRAID XT, Up to 2800MB/s, Four M.2 NVMe SSD bays, Add up to 32TB of storage

Product Information

As part of the preparation for the arrival of my new Mac Studio Ultra, I began thinking about high-speed storage.

So it’s possible that heat could be an issue if both bays were in use, but I don’t have two drives to be able to test this and find out one way or the other. SoftRAID takes advantage of your computer's processor versus the slow processors found in most hardware RAID enclosures. Most importantly, Robert reveals how TB3 supports PCIe across four lanes, whereas TB4 only supports one lane of PCIe. With all this referencing to PCIe, you might be wondering if it means that need a tower computer with loads of PCIe slots to take advantage of NVMe drives.But reviews suggested that their similar products suffered from heat-management issues and unnecessarily complex software. Go beyond the desktop with the most flexible storage, docking, and PCIe expansion solution for any rackmount use. The other factors are that NVMe drives use a lot more power than SSDs (more on that later) and they are more expensive than SSDs. Utilize the amazing capabilities of SoftRAID to RAID across multiple Express 4M2 drives, or add multiple Express 4M2 drives to your storage pool using Windows Storage Spaces.

Enclosure offers maximum mobile data storage/backup potential with a sleek, totally bus powered design. For my biggest sessions, I have to spread audio and video media out across three spinning hard drives.

Glyph’s engineers worked with me on this and came to the conclusion that it would never work properly on a Mac Pro 6,1. The best solution for a multi-blade system is our Helios 3 paired up with the Accelsior 4M2 PCIe card. They lack a proper PCIe switch internally and split one PCIe lanes internally to each of 4 daughter cards, so you get a fraction of the performance possible in many cases… but they have a niche with in-box upgrades of Mac cards, and I *love* much of other OWC stuff.
