OWC ThunderBlade Gen 2 Keeps Creative Teams on Track

Ultra High-Performance Thunderbolt3 storage solution now offers a lower price point and even better performance.

Woodstock, IL –OWC®, a leading zero emissions Mac and PC technology company, has released the second generation of their super-fast ThunderBlade external SSD, with a lower price point and improved performance. For creative professionals and prosumers who work to capture and process 4K or 8K video, the updated ThunderBlade Gen 2 can be the difference between staying under budget and on-schedule on a project – or not.

The new ThunderBlade is stackable and runs cooler than the
previous iteration, while still maintaining a near-silent environment with its
fanless operation, all factors that can be critical in an operation on the go
or in a tight space. With dual Thunderbolt 3 ports users can daisy-chain up to
five additional ThunderBlades, and by connecting more than one drive with
SoftRAID, speeds can be increased up to 3800MB/s. The newest ThunderBlade can complete
a 1TB content transfer in under four-and-a-half minutes.  

Wyatt Cagle, Digital Imaging
Technician (DIT) for the upcoming feature film “Playing God” had this to say
regarding the OWC ThunderBlade’s crucial role in production: “The [two]
ThunderBlades are our transfer drives because they’re so fast. Within minutes
I’ve got everything logged and ready for the editor. We’re shooting stuff in
the morning, the editor is editing it in the afternoon, and the director is
seeing something sometimes that night. Without that speed, without the
ThunderBlades, we couldn’t do that.” 

Whether using a single ThunderBlade on the road or daisy-chaining
up to six units in production space for up to 48TB of the fastest transfer
speeds OWC has ever produced, users can count on ThunderBlade to help them get
their dailies daily, providing safe, creative content management and huge time
and money savings in production budgets.

The OWC ThunderBlade comes with a Thunderbolt 3 cable
included and is backed by OWC’s 3-year warranty. It is available now at MacSales.com
