OWC OWCSSDACL4M216T 16.0TB Accelsior 4M2 PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 SSD with SoftRA

When OWC launched its first SSD in 2010, it was designed with a formula that Mac and PC users have come to trust: high performance, reliability, and affordability—"The OWC Difference." This commitment continues with the Accelsior 4M2, engineered for demanding, high-bandwidth tasks like large format video editing and extreme gaming. It houses four OWC Aura Ultra III NVMe M.2 SSDs under a finned heatsink, offering silent, throttle-free cooling. With advanced QLC 3D NAND and a Phison E12 controller, the Accelsior 4M2 delivers over 6,000MB/s real-world speed and unmatched reliability.OWC OWCSSDACL4M216T Includes(1) OWC Accelsior 4M2(1) Quick Start Guide for OWC Accelsior 4M2(1) Assembly Manual & User Guide for OWC Accelsior 4M2(1) 3 Years of SoftRAID Premium Access (License located on device)(1) Quick Start Guide for OWC SoftRAID (Digital)5 Year OWC Limited WarrantyOWC OWCSSDACL4M216T FeaturesSupercharges Mac and PC: ideal for Mac Pro 2019, Mac Pro 2012 or 2010, and PC towersWork faster: over 6,000MB/s real-world speed in RAID 0Store more: add capacity for critical footage, images, files, and gamesIncludes SoftRAID: robust software for creating, monitoring, and managing advanced RAID setsSilent cooling: finned heat sink cover for fanless operationHighly versatile: installs into a full-height, half-length x8 or x16 PCIe 3.0 or 2.0 slotPlug and play: no drivers needed5 Year OWC Limited WarrantyOWC OWCSSDACL4M216T SpecificationsNumber of Bays: 4Drive Bays:4 bays supporting: M.2 drivesSupports NVMe M.2 SSDs with 2280 form factor and "M Key" connector type.
