OWC Accelsior Pro 8M2 without Drives / 0GB (Softraid Pro 6 XT License Included)

As storage performance innovators, we know that bottlenecks cramp your style. The Accelsior 8M2 was purposely created to be the fastest drive you can use in any workflow. With space for up to eight NVMe M.2 SSDs, Accelsior 8M2 offers scorching speeds over 26,000MB/s and industry leading storage capacity. Now you have the overhead to go faster, process more, and save almost limitlessly.

Creating the fastest PCIe SSD meant combining bold engineering with the latest technology. Each of the Accelsior 8M2’s eight NVMe M.2 SSD slots can run at their full x4 lanes of data throughput. All that insanely fast speed is pumped through a full PCIe Gen 4 x16 lane architecture. And to ensure Accelsior 8M2 keeps running at peak speed for the long haul, there’s a quiet cooling fan in the aircraft grade aluminum heat shield. No compromises. No surrender. Just the ultra-reliable performance that Mac and PC users have come to depend on from OWC storage solutions.

Accelsior 8M2 offers performance gains in so many diverse ways that it lets you create without limits:
Stream and edit multiple high-res video streams without a glitch
Experiment with larger formats and be closer to final work
Edit and store massive photo images and graphics files
Experience faster previews, renders, and processing in VFX programs
Keep page scenery and textures looking sharp and flowing uninterruptedly in virtual reality environments
Ensure augmented reality visualizations look life-like
Effortlessly store and work with multiple production libraries and applications
Run more iterations in DevOps in less time
Quickly offload essential data to cloud archives for more advanced IoT management

When work requires your storage device to deliver maximum IOPS (Inputs/Outputs Per Second) performance, the Accelsior 8M2 crushes data crunching tasks in a fraction of the time. Cloud applications, climate research, virtualization apps, you name it…the Accelsior 8M2 accelerates them all so you can work more efficiently.
