    DITs and productions needing a blazing fast, highly reliable shuttle drive that can be easily and safely shipped.

    Creative professionals working with cutting edge workflows such as multicam sequences, 8K RAW video, and VFX looking for the best possible performance from an easy to transport, plug and play external storage solution.

    Remote editors working with cloud-based workflows such as LucidLink which require a high performance cache drive solution to ensure flawless video editing performance.

    Professional video editors desiring a seamless editing experience when working on large projects with all their files centralized for easy access.

    We understand your workflow requires real-world speed you can count on.

By truthfully listing the speeds we observed, our commitment to the “OWC Difference” ensures your ThunderBlade will deliver the performance you require and expect.
