OWC has announced a brand new ultra-high performance internal PCIe M.2 SSD that is capable of delivering over 6000 MB/s real-world data transfer speeds in capacities up to 8TB and is the fastest SSD ever built by the company.

Accelsior 4M2 is OWC’s most high-performance SSD to date and is the perfect storage solution for workloads such as large format video editing, VR environments, extreme gaming or other compute-intensive applications that require high bandwidth solutions.

The new PCIe M.2 storage solution from OWC offers great versatility since it's a half-length x8/x16 compatible card, meaning it can be installed in full-length PCIe 3.0 and 2.0 slots aswell. Laptop users can benefit from the performance of the OWC Accelsior 4M2 via the Thunderbolt 3 compatible OWC Mercury Helios 3S PCIe expansion chassis that is available separately.

All M.2 slots on the OWC Accelsior 4M2 are designed to run at full x4 PCIe speed so whether users are running a single M.2 drive or four in JBOD, each drive will be able to run at maximum speed. If users want even more performance, it is possible to run two Accelsior 4M2 devices in RAID to experience extreme performance.

The OWC Accelsior 4M2 includes drive health monitoring and protection via SoftRAID to ensure users get maximum performance while being protected from drive failure and data loss. SoftRAID provides robust drive health monitoring and reporting capabilities with full TRIM support for attached external and PCIe slot NVMe devices in macOS.
