OWC Launches Express 1M2 USB4 Enclosure: Unrivaled Speed and Versatility

Designed to unleash the full potential of today's and future USB4-equipped Macs and PCs, the OWC Express 1M2 is a powerhouse offering impressive real-world speeds up to 3151MB/s. It caters to professionals in photography, videography, digital imaging technicians (DITs), and performance enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance.

This revolutionary drive enclosure provides unparalleled flexibility by supporting OWC's high-performance Aura SSDs or enabling users to effortlessly incorporate their own 2230, 2242, or 2280-sized NVMe M.2 SSDs. The compact and rugged design, comparable in size to a cell phone, makes the Express 1M2 an ideal solution for repurposing existing drives or expanding storage for essential files and backups.

Embracing USB4, which delivers significant improvements in speed and connectivity, the Express 1M2 facilitates seamless connections to past, present, and future devices. Its compatibility spans USB4, USB 3.2, USB 2, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4 devices, making it a versatile and future-proof investment.

Built to endure and engineered to meet demanding performance needs, the Express 1M2 embodies OWC's commitment to data reliability. Its solid aluminum heat sink design ensures optimal heat dissipation, maintaining consistent and throttle-free maximum performance, unlike inexpensive snap-together enclosures. Additionally, the Express 1M2 supports cross-platform functionality with Macs and PCs through OWC's MacDrive software.

"Our priority is our customer's data reliability, and the Express 1M2 upholds this commitment by keeping drives cool and performance at peak levels," remarked Larry O'Connor, founder and CEO of OWC. "It's designed with longevity and high performance in mind, staying true to OWC's philosophy of creating products built to last."

The Express 1M2 is available either empty, allowing users to add their SSD, or pre-configured in capacities of 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, or 8TB, starting at $119.99.

The quoted 3151MB/s performance is based on rigorous testing with an 8.0TB OWC Aura Ultra IV-equipped Express 1M2 connected to a 14-inch 2023 MacBook Pro (Mac14,5) with 32GB RAM and Apple M2 Max, using AJA System Test (4K-Full resolution, 64GB file size, 16bit RGBA codec, single file test).
